On Wednesday evening, January 21, 2026, Zion and St. John congregations met in Warren to prayerfully extend a Call to Rev. Scott A. Kozisek in Iowa, to come and serve our dual-parish here in northwestern Minnesota. Zion and St. John have had a pastoral vacancy since Rev. Thomas Puffe left in late August, 2025.
Rev. Scott A. Kozisek is currently serving at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Garner, Iowa. We hope to hear a response from him by the end of February.
All members are encouraged to keep him and his family in their prayers.
