The focus of
Lutheran (Christian) worship is not on what we do, but what the
Lord our God does for us as He pours out His love, mercy and
grace through His gifts of Word and Sacrament. We do not come to
church to first and foremost praise God, we come to receive His
gifts and in response honor and praise Him.
Zion
Bensenville is pleased to offer its members and visitors
liturgical worship in an historic setting. For the vast majority
of our Sunday services we use the traditional Divine Service(s),
(from The Lutheran Service Book) these are filled with beauty
and reverence, as we continue to worship as the faithful have
done for thousands of years. It is a rare Sunday service when
The Sacrament of the Altar is not served.
Services
are held each Sunday at 8:00 & 10:30 AM and on Wednesdays at
7:00 PM
During the
summer months (from Memorial to Labor Day weekends) we have
Sunday service at 9:00 AM and we pray the Office of Vespers on
Wednesday Evenings at 7:00 PM.
During the
Advent and Lenten seasons midweek services are offered on
Wednesdays at 11:00 AM using Matins and at 7:00 PM using Evening
Prayer.
Check the
calendar section of our website or give us a call for the many
other services we offer during Holy Week, Easter, Ascension,
Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Day.
