    Early last week, when I went to the mailbox, I received a surprise: a box with myname on it! I hadnt remembered ordering anything, what could it be? It was fromUniversity of Chicago Press it had to be books! Was I excited, but I had not or-dered any books. You can imagine the excitement as I opened the box and saw thetwo titles inside two books I would have ordered, but could not remember actuallyfollowing through with it. That moment was like receiving a meal in a restaurant in

    the South, and realizing as it is placed in front of me that grits

    which I did not or-der have come with the meal!

    In reality, I had pre-ordered the books weeks ago. When they finally published and shipped, I hadforgotten. In the meanwhile, the moment offered a time of reflection for me.

    Grace comes in moments unexpected. Often like grits on a plate, or an unexpected box in the mail,grace enters our lives and changes the moment. Grace is Gods way of reminding us that God stillloves us, and intends to surprise us from time to time by reminding us of that reality.

    How often have you gone through the motions of the day, not realizing Gods moments of grace, oreven realizing Gods presence at all? Those are the moments that we need most to be reminded of

    God with us, arent they? Those are the moments when God makes the greatest impact on ourlives.

    Recently, a friend of ours in Minnesota had a bad car accident. Another vehicle t-boned her car at50 miles per hour she never saw the other car coming; she only felt the extreme jolt, the tighten-ing of the seat belts, and a forward lurching as her car was pushed along the road. To our friendssurprise, the OnStar immediately activated, and the woman on the speaker asked if Karen hadbeen in an accident. Within minutes, police and ambulance were at the scene our friend was tak-en to the hospital and taken care of.

    In that moment, who even thinks of having an OnStar system in their car? I would venture toguess that most rational thinking gives way to fear and dread in such moments. Yet, in the silence,Karen heard a voice, Are you OK? Was there an accident? another moment of surprise.

    How has God surprised you? How did you react to the surprise? When God surprises you, is it ahappy moment, or a sad one?

    What do you think?

    Peace,Pr Tim

    Human Trafficking: How To Help Locally

    Modern day slavery is on the rise in our nation and Ohio is one of the most prevalent stateswhen it comes to incidents of human trafficking. We see thousands of men, women, and childrenbeing forced into slavery through the labor and sex industries. In an effort to battle this right herein northwest Ohio, the Human Trafficking Protection Project was developed within Legal Aid ofWestern Ohio, Inc. The project works to provide legal assistance, as well as collaboration to meet

    the physical and emotional needs of victims. This effort requires participation from many people inthe area to offer a holistic path to recovery. We need your help to meet these survivor needs. Ourmost pressing need at this time is in the form of $25 gift cards. Both grocery/super -center and gascards are needed as we help these survivors with basic essentials, transportation and housing. Ifyou would like to help, gift cards can be dropped off at the LAWO office at 118 Clinton Street,Suite 101 Defiance, OH 43512 . There is a mail slot in the front door for after hours donations.Please place in an envelope with attention to HTPP. If you need to arrange an alternate dona-tion drop or have any questions, please email Kelly King at [email protected] .

    Dear Zion friends,

    Thank you for the many prayers during Steves illness and words of condolence, cards and owerssince his passing. Your though ulness has helped relieve some of our sadness. Gods peace.

    Chuck and Leona Bailey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I want to thank you all for your prayers during these past 11 months for my son Noah Garcia. Noah was born October 8,2013, at St. Vincent's in Toledo with a rare and severe form of dwar sm called Hypochondrogenesis. Hypochondrogenesisis on the spectrum of what is called a Collagen II muta on. Noah's muta on is considered a dominate muta on and mostlikely occurred at concep on. Totally random and nothing could have been done to prevent it.

    Noah's dwar sm has caused a small ribcage which resulted in small lungs. He also has a oppy airway as a result of hiscollagen muta on so he is prone to "blue spells". A er 4 months in the NICU at Na onwide Children's in Columbus(where he transferred at 2 weeks old) it was discovered Noah was re uxing and aspira ng his milk, further complica nghis respiratory status.

    Today Noah has a tracheostomy, is fed through a J Tube (into the intes nes), and is ven lator dependent. Noah, howev-er, was able to come home on July 1, 2014 a er nearly 9 months in the NICU. He has been thriving since coming home.He has begun to roll over, is interac ve, reaching and problem solving. Noah is tas ng baby food by mouth. He also loves

    playing and interac ng with his big brothers Miguel and Alex.Noah s ll has a long way to go. We have been advised Noah may require his trach un l he is 5 or 6 years old. He may notwalk un l he is 3 or 4 because of his dwar sm. That said, Noah may have physical limita ons but he proves every day heis normal in every other way.

    If you are able, please con nue to keep Noah in your prayers. Cold and u season are upon us, which can be very toughon these kiddos with trachs and ven lators. Our family was separated for so long while Noah was in the NICU, we hope tokeep hospital visits going forward to a minimum.

    We can never repay you for all your prayers but you all will always be in ours.

    The Garcia Family, Inocencio, Alison, Miguel, Alex and Noah

    DEACON SUPPORT TEAM

    All members should be aware of their deacon and hopefully have met him or her to discuss any con-cerns or questions you may have had. Your deacons have a sincere interest in serving your needsand encourage you to bring your needs to the attention of Pastor, the deacon group or council which-ever is appropriate. In turn, we trust you have an equally sincere interest in getting to know your dea-con as a present and future friend and confidant. We also want to emphasize the importance ofspeaking with Pastor whenever the need arises. He wants to know your concerns to help provide asolution or answers to your questions. He remains the best resource within our congregation to sharewisdom and knowledge.Deacons are not exempt from having a deacon of their own. At times we need someone willing to lis-ten and we turn to our deacon. In our bi -monthly meetings, the nine deacons discuss a variety of top-ics concerning the spiritual welfare of the congregation. Most importantly we are available for youwhen your needs might require someone to talk with other than Pastor Tim. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the members of Zions Lutheran Church and we encourageyou to reach out to your deacon whenever the need arises. Please call the church office for any assis-tance.
