Zion Lutheran remodeling extends 'Sharing Christ's Love with Every Generation'          Send a link to a friend

[Note: Because of server upgrades, this article was not posted on the scheduled date.]

[OCT. 29, 2005]  After years of battling steep church entryway steps and stairs throughout the education building, members and friends of Zion Lutheran Church in Lincoln will have an easier time using the church buildings.

On Sunday the congregation will celebrate the opening of a new building addition, which connects the sanctuary and the education building. Celebration worship services will be at 8 and 10:30 a.m. A 1 p.m. ribbon-cutting will be followed by public tours from 1 to 4. The Reformation Rally sponsored by the Lincoln Circuit churches of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod will be at 4 p.m.

"The leaders of Zion have long recognized that to fulfill our mission of 'Sharing Christ's Love with Every Generation,' the 1903 church and the 1953 education building had several limitations," noted the Rev. Mark Carnahan.

The new addition addresses these limitations by providing an elevator to both the sanctuary and the education building and by adding handicapped-accessible restrooms. A curbside drop-off area has been added. The church office also has easier access.

The building addition also includes more classrooms for Bible study and meetings and a larger space for fellowship before and after worship services.

The architectural plan, prepared by Paul Young and Associates of Bloomington, preserves the historic appearance of the buildings. Felmley-Dickerson of Bloomington was the general contractor.

The new area features a stained-glass window of the Luther Rose, which was Martin Luther's coat of arms and has been an identifying symbol of the Lutheran church since the 16th-century Reformation. The window was created by Brooks Art Glass of Springfield.

"The most exciting thing about our Building for the Generations program is that now every generation has access to God's house," Carnahan said.
