Social & Learning

Weekly Bible study has resumed, and we are reading together the New Testament book of 1 Corinthians. We read a little each week, bring our questions and explore some supporting resources - jump in whenever you can - no experience or preparation needed!

- Join us for weekly Bible study, Wednesdays 7:00-8:00pm at the zoom link here. 

Practice Advent, the church season that leads up to the twelve days of Christmas, and make space for a meaningful season. The four weeks of Advent encourage us to slow down, take notice, and wait. We also know this is during a season where life is often busy or pressured with expectations, social events, travel, and more. You're invited to worship and Advent practices as a gift during this season - to make some sacred and centering space as we await Christmas joy. 

Offerings to make a meaningful Advent season:

• Christmas tree decorating and all-ages Advent crafts on Sunday, November 29 after both worship services. 
• Advent devotionals: simple daily prayers and reflection materials, for adults, families, and children, are available for pickup at church starting November 22 and will also be linked in the weekly email.
• If you'd like to subscribe and receive the daily Advent devotions by email, click here or sign up at church to be added to our devotions email list.
• Kids' gingerbread nativity making and story time on Sunday, December 13.
• Blue Christmas/Longest Night: Evening prayer service "merry isn't mandatory" for those for whom space for lament or grief is a reality of this season - at Faith Lutheran Church in Arlington, Sunday December 20 at 7:00pm.
• Christmas Eve (12/24) worship is at 5:00pm, with candlelight and holy communion. 

Look for more fellowship, worship, and service news here at GLC in the weeks to come, and may the coming star of Christmas' promise help you see the beauty of these richly dark and beautiful days.
