GSLC SWAG HAS ARRIVED

If you have purchased GSLC swag, please pick it up this Sunday in Fellowship Hall. All items are labeled with names.

Amazing Grace – Lent 2023

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the writing of “Amazing Grace,” this worship series for Lent, by theologian Michael Hoy, ties the words of the beloved song to our lives today as Christ’s disciples. Those in the Bible who experienced the amazing grace of God help us each week to realize that though we once were lost in sin, we now have been found by Jesus, and though we once were blind to God’s mercy, we now can see his love at work in us, through our Savior’s death and resurrection.

We will be offering services each Wednesday throughout Lent, at 11 AM and 7:30 PM, with soup and salad offered before each evening service, beginning at 6:30 - 7:25 PM.

This week, March 1 we will focus on Isaiah of Babylon (Isaiah 6:7): We see God’s amazing grace at work in the life of the prophet Isaiah, who proclaimed to God’s people the salvation that was to come through the Suffering Servant.

March 1st - The soup choices are Split Pea and Italian Meatball

Outreach Committee has coin boxes available to collect loose change to help fund some of the delinquent lunch accounts at Clark Creek Elementary School. Pick up your box at the Welcome Desk and collect your coins throughout Lent.

EASTER LILIES - Last week for orders!

We are taking orders for Easter Lilies this Sunday and next Sunday. We need to have orders in by March 1st to be ready for Easter Sunday, April 9th.

Have You Ever Wondered What Exactly Happens to Your Returns?

According to a 2018 report, returns account for five billion pounds of waste sent to landfills and 15 million metric tons of carbon emissions every year in the United States. Read our latest Caring for Creation article here.

We continue to collect used eyeglasses. A box is located in Fellowship Hall. These will be donated to the Lion's Club.

We also continue to collect oral care waste for recycling. These items are mailed to TerraCycle where they are made into plastic pellets which can be made into outdoor furniture of playground equipment.  

We also continue to collect used batteries to take to the appropriate recycling facility. This keeps the toxic materials out of landfills.

The next date to drop of Hefty Orange Energy bags is next Sunday, March 5th The bags are for hard to recycle plastics and are available in the Fellowship Hall for a nominal charge. These are collected on Two-Can Sunday and taken to the appropriate recycling facility.
