Little Lutherans, Sunday School, & Confirmation

Little Lutherans is for littles to pre-readers and parents, Sunday school is for grade school readers, and confirmation is for youth ready to learn the foundations of our faith together toward the milestone of affirming their baptisms. These learning groups will meet 9:00-9:45am the second and fourth Sundays of each month, plus special activities, through the school year. Parents, please pick up a calendar today, and see the survey sent to you by email. Questions, want to help lead or participate, please speak with Pastor Brett.

The GMC "Pop-Up"
Monday through Thursdays, 8am-noon, here at church

Our church is the site of the Georgetown Ministry Center "pop-up" location, serving as a second site for their drop-in center for folks experiencing homelesness in our community. Four mornings a week, the doors are open for all, with a GMC staff member overseeing the program. The pop-up offers shelter and a place of respite and safe rest for many, as well as coffee/snacks, laundry, connection to services, and more. GMC staff offer occasional programs in the space, as well as case management and support toward health and housing for all. 

As a congregation we are proud to be a founding member organization of GMC, and have supported many programs and acute needs in the past, including winter shelter, meals, and more. Currently we regularly make breakfast burritos to stock our freezer for the pop-up guests, and participate in other seasonal support events. View more about GMC, its programs, current, needs, and ways to volunteer at their website here: https://georgetownministrycenter.org/.

Georgetown Ministry Center Volunteers Needed

Our neighborhood nonprofit homeless service provider, Georgetown Ministry Center (GMC), needs volunteers! GMC runs the "pop-up" location here in our church Monday through Thursday mornings, and the main center is located at Grace Episcopal Church, 1041 Wisconsin Ave. This time of year GMC particularly needs volunteers as college students are leaving town and the season changes - volunteers are needed at the main center at Grace Church Mondays through Saturdays. You can sign up for a three-hour shift as a volunteer easily here. Volunteers most often staff the window pickup at the main center, handing out coffee, supplies, and occasionally helping serve food or run laundry. Questions, speak with John Henry, GMC board rep for our church.

Come make a joyful noise with Choir!

The GLC choir is looking to add members this fall. If you can carry a tune and enjoy the fellowship that music-making offers, please join us Sundays at 9 am. We rehearse anthems for several weeks ahead, so even those who travel frequently can get comfortable with the music. Questions? Speak to music director Pat Henry.

Garden Volunteers Needed!

All Volunteers welcome

GLC's gardens are a bright spot in our neighborhood, much appreciated by neighbors. But the expansive grounds take a lot of tending. Please consider joining our volunteer gardeners, who tackle weeding, trimming, raking, etc. on their own schedules. Tools are provided. To be added to our email group, please send an email to office@georgetownlutheran.com. And thank you!
