Call News

Dear members of Morrison Zion Lutheran Church and School,

As many of you know, I got engaged a couple weekends ago in Milwaukee. God-willing, we will be married this coming summer, 2022. After a lot of prayer and discussion, we have decided that I will be moving to the Lake Mills area this summer where my fiancé is a teacher and coach at Lakeside Lutheran High School. Because of this, I must resign my call here at Morrison Zion at the end of the school year. God has richly blessed me by making this place my first assignment. I will greatly miss the people I have met, friends I have made, and students I have gotten to know over the last couple of years. You will all hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all for continued prayers. May God continue to bless the ministry here at Morrison Zion.

In Christ,

Miss Sophie Birner
