Last Service preformed by Pastor Harder

Pastor Harder gave his last service here at Zion. 5 years of his valuable time has been spent here. We greatly appreciate all that he has done and wish him well at his next stop in life, the Messiah Lutheran in Elgin is very blessed to have him.






On behalf of all those here at Zion, a plaque was presented to him.
