Coming to Zion:

Bishop Israel Peter Mwakyolile

May 27 at the

8 a.m. & 10:30 a.m. services

On Sunday, May 27, Bishop Israel Peter Mwakyolile will be the guest speaker at both the 8AM and 10:30 AM Worship Services at Zion Lutheran Church, 18 Quarry Road, Leola, PA.

He is the elected Bishop for the Konde Diocese in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT). The Konde Diocese is located in the southwest region of Tanzania between Mbeya and Lake Nyasa. Since 1990 the Lower Susquehanna Synod ( Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, ELCA) has partnered with the Konde Diocese (ELCT) in Tanzania. Bishop Israel Peter will speak about this partnership and share news from Konde on May 27 at Zion.

The Bishop and Konde Diocese are not only leaders for the spiritual life of the congregations but also the educational life and health concerns of the many people who live in this region of Tanzania. It is an area with much poverty and many social concerns. The Bishop through his office has been instrumental in assisting and serving women, children, widows and orphans. As the Tanzanian government continues to enact laws that protect the rights of women and children, the Konde Diocese is a vital link in disseminating this information to all the people.

The Diocese operates several hospitals and dispensaries where they provide health care for many people at no cost. In this part of Tanzania the church provides the majority of the health care. They also educate and teach people about HIV/AIDS and treat those that are HIV positive.

The community is invited to come greet and hear Bishop Mwakyolile. For more information go to www.zionleola.org or call at 717-656-9200.

1:30 p.m. Sunday Worship Service

Zion Lutheran, Leola, PA has been serving the community and beyond since 1817. In 2001, the congregation moved from its location at the corner of Route 23 and Heller's Church Road to a new site and building at 18 Quarry Road, Leola, PA 17540.

Many people have said, "This is not your typical Lutheran congregation." We are not exactly sure what that means but we do believe Zion is a place where everybody is somebody and Jesus is Lord. We are learning to live out the marks of discipleship each day: Prayer, Worship, Reading the Bible, Service, Giving, and Relationships.
