About Prairie Land Lutheran ParishPrairie Land Lutheran Parish (PLLP) was officially formed in 2005 by Lake Hanska Lutheran Church, La Salle Lutheran Church, Linden Lutheran Church, and Zion Lutheran Church with the goal of working together for the sake of spreading the good news in the Hanska/La Salle area.  Since then there have been changes. Some of our beloved congregational partners have closed, but we're still here! PLLP still works to nourish people's faith, serve our neighbors both nearby and around the world, and to share the Good News in our families and with our communities.

We remain two separate congregations and one joint area parish.  Each congregation has its own history, personality, and leadership, but we also work together to share resources and ministries.  Most weeks we worship in both congregations, but we also meet regularly for joint worship services.  We are Prairie Land Lutheran Parish and we are Lake Hanska and Zion Lutheran Churches.  Above all, in the end, we are children of God!

Worship Schedule

On most weekends, each congregation has one worship service.  The typical times are Sundays at 9:00 a.m. at Lake Hanska and 10:30 a.m. at Zion  You can use this website and our facebook page to help you to keep track!

For special events, we sometimes have just one worship service at one of our three locations. Those dates and times are always announced in advance.  They are special opportunities for us to gather as a larger group to worship God and celebrate the unique ministries of our three congregations. 

Parish Faith Formation

Each congregation has its own Women of the ELCA group meetings and opportunities for Bible studies for adults children's faith formation (such as Sunday School and Vacation Bible School). Everyone is always welcome to atttend opportunities at either congregation, or both!

Confirmation instruction for 8th and 9th graders is held jointly.  Children of all ages are welcome at every worship service at any of our congregations.
