Lutherans deepen their relationship with God with Spiritual Practices
We worship and praise God for what God has done for us in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We at Zion Lutheran Church use the church year to help form us spiritually as disciples of Jesus.
We use the church year because each season gives us a different perspective of how God established a relationship with us and calls us to discipleship in Jesus.
The season of Advent
We are currently in the season of Advent. Advent is a season of waiting. It is a season of preparation. It is a season of expectation for the coming of the Messiah. Of course, Christ has indeed come, but while we count the days to Christmas, we are reminded that we live as an advent people, a people eagerly awaiting the time when Christ will come again as promised. The color for the season is blue, a color symbolizing hope.
The practice of using Labyrinths
To help you walk your Spiritual Path we offer Labyrinths to deepen your relationship with God. The two different labyrinths we offer are an indoor Santa Rosa Labyrinth and an outdoor Cretan Labyrinth.
The practice of Praying the Lutheran Rosary
Lutherans form the Christian person through worship, catechesis, and individual prayer. Praying the Lutheran rosary which is based upon the six chief parts of the Catechism gives us an opportunity to combine catechesis and individual prayer. For more details on the actual form check out the ELCA website.
