LIFE LINE
SCREENING
Monday, March 9
Zion Lutheran Church is pleased to offer a
preventive health event. Life Line Screening,
a leading provider of community-based preventive health
screenings, will host their affordable, non-invasive
and painless health screenings on 3/9/2015.
Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health
problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause
of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a
ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a
strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular
heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone
density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk
of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular
tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our
member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to
complete.
In order to register for this event and to receive a $10
discount off any package priced above $129, please call 1888-653-6441 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com/

During this Lenten Season, join with your Zion Family in reaching out to
one friend, neighbor, or family member you know through your prayers.
Pray that he or she will trust in Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and
Savior.
This commitment to pray for their eternal welfare can be remembered as
1 : 1 : 1.
● Pray especially for the 1 whose eternal welfare you care about every
day for 1 minute at 1 o’clock.
● If possible, invite your special 1 to Sunday worship, Lenten services,
Holy Week and Easter services.
● Pray that the Holy Spirit works so that your special 1 is WON for the
1 who died to save us all.
