Holiday Services – Zion Lutheran Church : Bay City, MI

Holiday Services

Holidays are a special time to honor our Lord and Savior.

Christmas is a time where we can celebrate the birth of Jesus.
At Zion, we offer a variety of ways to worship,

from our Children’s service to Christmas Day, this is a time to rejoice.

Annual Holiday Happenings

Christmas Decorating begins the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and is completed the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

We are always looking for people to help put up the Christmas decorations and take them down after the New Year.

If you are able to help or have questions contact the church office at (989) 894-2611.

Each year our Sanctuary adorned with Poinsettia plants during Christmas and

Easter Lilies or Spring Flowers during Easter. You have a chance to add your special touch

by adding a flowering plant in memory or in honor of a loved one.
