our
new weekly e-news
GLC - - - Connects!
We’ve upgraded our format (no more attachment!) to make it more convenient to read and interact with the e-news content on your phone, tablet, and computer! Our goal is to make it easier for you to connect with serving opportunities, to connect with others, and in doing so, to connect with God.
We've tested this e-news on many formats, but if it's not working on your device, please let us know. If you’re using Outlook, you’ll need to click on the message at the top of the email to download the pictures.

TO PREPARE YOU FOR WORSHIP
|
|
|
|
Everyone is trying to figure out who Jesus is—from the hometown folks to King Herod...and they are mostly wrong. As a result of their wrong-ness, they miss chances to see Jesus' power and experience healing. How might our ideas about Jesus limit the healing we can experience?
God, you are powerful and active in our world. Help us to expand our understanding of the way you can work through Jesus and through us. In His name, Amen.

If we are honest about the range of human experience, not everything we sing in church can be loud or joyful. Hymn writer, Susan Palo Cherwin describes "In Deepest Night" as “a song of quiet hope in the middle of intense sorrow.” It speaks eloquently of God’s presence with us through our most difficult times. - Hymnary

WONDERING...
REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL PEOPLE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GLC
|
|
|
|
How do you know where God is guiding you?
(
from one of our confirmation students). If you are looking for a lighted pathway, like the one that helps you find the aisles in a movie theater, you'll probably be disappointed. Finding where God is guiding is more like when you find yourself in a dark room. You need to let your eyes adjust before you can move or you need to really trust the One that is helping you along. We can't always tell in the moment- so look back on a particularly challenging moment...can you see God now?
