Prospective & New Members: Getting Connected, 6/22

If you're new to the GLC community, or would like to meet people who are, come join in for Getting Connected, 11:15-12:30 in the fellowship hall, June 22. Getting Connected is a gathering to learn more about GLC and each other. It's open to any who are curious, and especially those considering church membership. Come if you've been before, are interested in joining, or a current member wanting to welcome others! Pastor Brett will share a bit about GLC, what it means to be a Lutheran Christian and a member of our church community. For those interested in joining, we'll celebrate welcoming you as members in the context of worship sometime soon. Questions? Interested? Talk with Pastor Brett (contact info on back of bulletin)!

Five Week Study: Lessons from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in a House Divided and a World on Fire
Starting May 29

Join us for a five-week study, with an excellent curriculum from Lutheran Advocacy Ministry of Pennsylvania, scholars, and additional curated materials from Pastor Brett. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran German pastor who was known for his resistance to the Nazi regime and writings on spiritual life and theology. You'll learn history, theology, reflect on the past and present, scripture, and your own life and faith response. . Two options for participation: via Zoom   HERE  on 5 Thursday nights at 7:30-8:30, 5/29-6/26, OR in-person after church on 3 Sundays (abridged sessions) 11:30-12:30, 6/1,15, & 29.

Study Guides & Resources

On our Read & Explore Faith page there are a few blog entries on various topics, which also point in the direction of further resources. We've also (just) started a Goodreads page to share reviews of different books - detail here.
Early in the summer we had two one-session topic studies - on topics which, given current events, our wider church has encouraged us to study our denomination's statements and faith perspective/resources on.  Pastor Brett created a study guide for self study or learning more about each topic: Abortion and Community Violence.
