18th Century German Animal House



As my grandma mouse would say, what, pray tell, is this?  Some sort of colonial frat party?  Actually, it's a glimpse into the education of one Henry Melchior Muhlenberg.  These pictures are part of the exhibit on Muhlenberg's life and impact as the "father of the Lutheran church in America", including a pretty pivotal role in the early history of one Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in New Germantown.  Come TONIGHT (September 8) to the Christian Education Building at 6:00 pm for a pot luck dinner and lecture by Dr. Timothy Wengert of the Philadelphia Seminary.  The exhibit is at Zion until September 16th.  So, if you've always wondered what the life of a student in 18th century Germany is really about... now you know where to find out!

Things I did not expect to see at the Muhlenberg exhibit...


Squeak!  I was just taking a peek at the Henry Melchior Muhlenberg exhibit, and did NOT expect to see THIS!  Yikes!  Any guesses on what this is a picture of?  Visit the exhibit weekends at the Christian Education Building until September 16 (or check with the office if you want to stop by another time) and find out for yourself.  Even better - you can come on September 8th to hear Dr. Timothy Weingart from the Philadelphia Seminary lecture about Muhlenberg, what he meant to Lutheranism in America, and his connection with Zion.  Be sure to ask him what's up with the scary animals.

Check back in here for more peeks and squeaks from the exhibit!

Hunger in Hunterdon

Do you know how many food pantries there are in Hunterdon County?

Did you know that although Hunterdon has the fourth highest median income of all counties in the US, an estimated 3000 residents rely on its food pantries?

Hunger in Hunterdon, created by Zion member Tina Dornbusch, explores the issue and features conversations with volunteers and clients of Hunterdon's food pantries.

Miracles

At Bible study this week we were talking about how sometimes bad things happen to good people (accidents, illness, natural disasters...) and it's not because God wanted to punish them for something.  On the other hand, if we're not crediting God with tragedy, what about miracles?  Are they just great, sometimes unbelievable things that happen, or is a miracle God at work?  Have you ever experienced a miracle?  Anything lately?
