WOODVILLE, WI – Zion Lutheran Church, in Woodville, Wisconsin held a Fall Festival celebration on Sunday September 7, 2025, on a beautiful sunny morning that was about 65 degrees, perfect sweatshirt weather. 190 plus congregants met starting at 9:00 a.m. with the worship service in the south parking lot that was set up with tables and chairs, and more chairs had to be brought out as the crowd grew.

The worship service was led by Zion’s Pastor Ben Nelson who became the “participant of the day” as he later became completely immersed in his work, more on that in a bit.

The service began with a “Prelude and Ringing of the Bell” calling all to worship as Zion Lutheran Church “celebrated the changing of the seasons and all of God’s blessings.”
