Bible Study Resumes - Two Ways to Join!
Weekly Bible study will resume next week, and we'll read together the New Testament book of 1 Corinthians in the Bible. We'll read a little each week, bring our questions and explore some supporting resources - jump in whenever you can - no experience or preparation needed! 1 Corinthians is a letter to the early Christian church and covers a lot about Christian community, living, conflict, and love - including some very familiar passages. We invite you, especially if you've never tried something like this in the past, to give it a try. It's a great way to learn, build faith, and meet others. This fall, Pastor Brett is offering two ways to participate:
- Weekly Zoom study, Wednesdays (starting 9/9) 7:00-8:00pm at the zoom link here. 
- Whatsapp group - an asynchronous way to study on your own time and join in the conversation with reflection questions and more each week. This whatsapp group will be a closed group, a sub-group of our GLC Whatsapp community (click here ere for more info on our Whatsapp community).

 

Sunday, 9/13: God's Work, Our Hands!

Join us in worship and after each service next Sunday, Sept. 13, for God's Work, Our Hands Sunday! This annual day across our denomination, the ELCA, joins us around the church in service and community as we kick off another program year. In worship we'll recognize and bless the ways we serve at church, in our individual vocations, and more. We will have some hands-on ways to serve and connect and a pancake potluck brunch after each worship service. Pancakes, juice, and coffee provided - bring something to share or just yourself. Come join us!

 

Prospective & New Members: Getting Connected, 9/20!

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, on Sunday, September 20th! 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).

Kids' Sunday Learning Groups

Parents and kids, you're invited! Kids' Sunday learning groups (Sunday School) is on break for summer, but we're planning some fun, simple gatherings through the season before we restart in September. So, watch this space and we'll share more.

If you're interested in helping lead kids' programming, have ideas or input to share, please reach out to Pastor Brett now, as we're working on plans and leadership for fall.

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.
