GLC - - - Connects!
Tuesday, June 2, 2020
TONIGHT!
Facebook LIVE 8 pm - 9 pm
Lighting Candles and Lifting Prayers
What’s going on in our world?  Anxiety. Tension. Isolation. Frustration. Being unseen. Being unheard.  

On Facebook LIVE (Geneva Lutheran’s page), we will spend an hour in prayer, from 8 pm to 9 pm (or anytime you can find some time). You can lift up your prayers as well. 

We are deeply connected to one another through the body of Christ, which has wounds and pains that are in need of healing. It takes the entire body working together to accomplish this and EVERY part has a role to play. None of us are detached from the things that are happening and none of us are detached from the web of causes. 

Jesus said, ‘Why do you call me good, no one is good but God alone.’ This isn’t about good and bad it is about human pain and suffering. Our connecting point is right here. Look for the pain. Look for the sadness. Without judging it or dismissing it or moving past it, let it connect to our suffering and pain. And it will connect us to the body of Christ. 

Holy and Mighty God, open us to see the pain and suffering in the world and to see that it is not separate from us. It is part of us. Just as you are part of us and we are part of you. We are part of each other. Wherever there are people, there is the body of Christ. Wherever we are, here is the body of Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Home Visits are Back!
With the shelter at home order lifted, Pastor Trudy is once again scheduling visits. Know that every safety recommendation will be followed; mask wearing, physical distancing, no touch communion, and hand washing. We can be outdoors or you can remain in, and she can be outside the door or window, or on a deck or patio. This is especially for those who must continue to shelter at home for their own safety.

Sacraments and Physical Distancing
 Sacraments: thinking about baptism and Holy Communion when we are physically distanced. Sacraments are all about making Jesus tangible…how do we do that when we can’t be within 6 feet of each other?
