Weekly Bible Study on Zoom

Pastor Brett invites all to weekly Bible study on Zoom, Thursdays, 7:30-8:30pm  on Zoom here.  There's no preparation or experience needed to join us at any time for Bible study - just jump in when you can! We read and learn together, currently each week reading the scriptures for the coming Sunday. It's also a good way to get to know people and grow by sharing our faith and questions. 

Lent: Prayers & Practices to Equip You

The church season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5: worship at 7:30pm, or stop by for "ashes to-go" between 10-2 or 5-6. This season is often a time people intentionally explore or seek to deepen faith by learning, worship, or trying faith practices. This Lent, Pastor Brett invites you to join in prayers and practices to equip you. Join us in using the simple book Prayer: 40 Days of Practice through this season together. Pick one up at church today ($7 donation requested). The simple prayers and art offer a deep but easily accessible moment of reflection for each day. Pastor will also invite a time to try that prayer practice together each week, in-person and shared online

Transfiguration Sunday 3/2 Celebrations & Brunch

The last Sunday before Lent begins is Transfiguration Sunday, and this year it's March 2, and we have a lot to celebrate. At each worship service we'll dedicate our newly restored bell tower and plaza, and welcome new members into our congregation. Following the tradition of Shrove/Fat Tuesday a couple days early, join us for a potluck pancake brunch after the 10am worship service!  GLC will provide pancakes, and juice - bring something to share (sign up HERE to help us plan), or just bring you and plan to join us.

Little Lutherans and Sunday School

Little Lutherans & Sunday School for kids and parents meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays, including today at 9am for a combined session. A big thank you to Brittany Godin who has been leading Little Lutherans since we began last year, and now passes it on. If you are interested in helping or leading with children, please speak with Pastor. We will have a parents/families meeting (kids welcome) on Sunday, March 8 at 9am. During Lent we'll also be offering (first) communion instruction for kids or even adults who want to learn more or are preparing for the sacrament. Speak with Pastor or complete the interest form sent by email.

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.
