Social & Learning

In this coming season of Lent, we hear stories of Jesus meeting people (and therefore us) in a wide variety of places: in the wilderness, in the temptations of power, in our daily chores, in the middle of the night, in a social outcast, in a religious person but in a way you'd not expect, in illness, in death, in despair, in hope. In the scripture stories of this season, we also meet fascinating characters - a reflection of the truth that we are moved by and can witness God's showing up in other people's stories.

So, this Lent we're inviting you, Georgetown Lutheran Church members, friends, near, far, kids and adults, to share your stories and contribute to a Lenten devotional: "Where Jesus meets us." The prompts are designed to be accessible and invite you to share and connect with each others' stories and perspectives. We are a diverse community with widely different experiences of faith - don't be afraid to share yours. Thank you in advance for your contributions, and we look forward to sharing them as a daily devotional in Lent.

Submissions due Monday, Feb 2. You may submit more than one, but our goal is as many different voices as possible, one for each day of the season of Lent and Holy Week. Read the form  HERE  - take your time, but don't overthink it either - just share! Questions? Talk with Pastor Brett.

Come to Georgetown Pub Theology, an open gathering at a neighborhood watering hole to discuss big topics and questions. Join us Wednesday, Jan 21 @ 6:00pm, at Mr. Smith’s, 3205 Water St, topic: TBD  If you have topic suggestions, or are interested in participating, talk with Adam Orshefsky.

Have you ever wondered about the items in the sanctuary such as their purpose? Or how do we prepare for a service? 

Join the GLC altar care leaders for a fun evening of learning about how we prepare and maintain our church’s worship space, especially the altar, communion vessels, and paraments – but with a twist! We will learn through wine pairings! The pairings will also include various breads, cheeses and fruits. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.

This event is part of our new Stewardship efforts to share more about how we can give our time though supporting the altar care team for Sunday service and treasure in your donations to the altar care budget line. 

February 15  - 5 p.m. @ Georgetown Lutheran Church. Suggested donation of $25. All donations will go towards supporting the work of altar care. If you are interested in helping support the event through additional in-kind donations (e.g. food/wine), please contact Cassandra Kuball.
