1 Non Profit Org. U.S. Postage PAID Guyton, GA Permit No. 5 ZIONEWS 2016 Zion Lutheran s Monthly Newsletter The Advent season is here! Each week, we will light a new candle on the wreath. One candle is lit the first week, two candles the second, three candles the third, and all four candles the fourth week. On Christmas Eve, the end of Advent, we will light all four candles plus the Christ Candle in the middle. Each week, the light grows a little brighter, reminding us that the light that is Christ grows stronger every year as we await his return on the Last Day! We invite you and your family and friends to come and experience the joy of Advent as we wait in anticipation of that glorious day! 16 Address Service Requested Office Phone: (912) secretary@zionlutheranga.org Web page: Pastor Dave Rasmussen 121 Noel C.
