This Week's Events

Zion’s rich Swedish heritage began back in 1883 when a group of 146 people from First Lutheran Church decided that the Swedish population was growing so much that a new church needed to be organized “in order to better meet the needs of the people”. These immigrants met in the basement of the Swedish Methodist Church to establish this new place of worship which came to be known as Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Rockford. These are our roots... where we began. And we have continued over the past 125 years to change “in order to better meet the needs of the people”. One of the biggest decisions that the people of Zion made was to stay here in this original neighborhood rather than move to property once owned in the northeast side of Rockford. Our ministry over the years has changed to reflect that decision and we are, indeed, “A Caring Church for a Changing Community”. He has led; we have followed.

We will be celebrating this wonderful walk with Christ throughout all of 2008, our anniversary year. So mark you calendars now with the following activities for the year.
