TO PREPARE YOU FOR WORSHIP
|
|
|
|
From learner to teacher.
Maybe this phrase reminds parents that they are participating in their child’s education in a new way. That is also what happens to Jesus’ followers. They have been listening to Jesus who stood in front of them…following Jesus who walked with them…eating dinner with Jesus who ate with them. Now he is with them in a different way. Will they find the body of Christ in the world? Will we?
Awesome God, you accompany us in many ways, some of them more tangible than others. Help us to trust that we are equipped, not just to absorb your message, but to share it! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Stick around after the final hymn
for a few minutes of
Holy Hilarity
, a (not very) ancient tradition of celebrating the resurrection as the greatest joke ever played on the devil by laughing together the
Second Sunday of Easter.
If you’re not in the mood, no worries, it will be after the service. If you’re not sure, know that laughter and crying are close together (see photo: Pastor Trudy's goose)!

WONDERING...REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL PEOPLE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GLC
|
Why do we always think things are certain, when things always change?
Here’s another powerful learning in these days -- don’t beat yourself up for longing for certainty. It is normal to feel around for solid ground. The problem is what feels like solid ground often is just slightly more firm than where we were. When we feel like we are on ’solid enough’ ground, we park there. The longing isn’t the problem, the parking is. If we are going to find the body of Christ in the world, we best keep moving! #whereisthebodyofChrist

As we shared in a separate blast last week, we applied for the PPP
(Payroll Protection Program) through our bank. We have been approved for these funds (we have talked with our bank AFTER the news reported the money being gone for the PPP, and they have assured us that we will be funded). When we receive these PPP funds, it will allow us to maintain staff at pre-quarantine levels through April and May. The guidelines for use of the money are outlined in
the
PPP Fact Sheet
,
which also outlines the provisions for loan forgiveness and may be found at this link to the
US Treasury website
REMEMBER...Your giving is still the primary source of support for ministry at GLC
, and your giving at this time is even more important for our ministries. Your support has made it possible for us to adapt to an almost entirely virtual ministry, to keep our gifted staff engaged to lead into the what’s next, and looking down the road, to continue our planning to welcome an intern, helping to prepare pastors for the future church.
How to give?
A check mailed to the church.
OR
Online via credit or debit card (fee charged) or from checking account (smaller fee charged)
OR
Set up recurring giving from checking account or credit or debit card either online or email

NEW! Parent's Day Out Storytimes
|
We've heard that the children in our Parent's Day Out program
are really missing their teachers! So to stay connected, our PDO teachers have been reading stories to our kiddos (posted on the
GLC PDO Facebook Page).
Grab your littles and enjoy listening to this sweet and funny story read by Michelle Lata.
And, remember, stories aren't just for kids!

#Flashback Friday!
Well, only to a week ago!
Our Ringers take their traditional "Bellfie" on Christmas Eve and Easter. This Easter they got
even more creative
and put this group photo collage together.
We love our Ringers!
