WORSHIP THIS WEEK: How do we live as a healthy community at times when we’re being our most messy human selves?  That’s a question we’ll explore in Sunday’s readings as Jesus and Moses challenge us to imagine new ways of being community.  Join us on Sunday, September 29 at 10:00 in our physical sanctuary at 300 Shunpike Road or in our digital sanctuary for worship: https://www.youtube.com/live/FX2zs-mj0L8?si=WcNUp9AtCdx8BIRE

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS: Bring your beloved creatures – furry, feathered, scaly, slithery, or stuffed – to the front lawn of the church on Sunday, September 29, at 1:00 for a Blessing of the Animals. We’ll celebrate the ways that these animals embody the love of God in our lives.

Gloria Dei Welcome Statement (adopted June 2024) - Gloria Dei Lutheran Church celebrates that each person is created in the image of God, and God’s wide embrace holds all of us. We trust in a living God who, by the power of the Holy Spirit, continually renews and transforms us.  That Spirit holds us in relationship with God and with each other.  We invite you to share in ministry here, bringing all of who you are, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race and ethnicity, age, marital status, faith journey, economic circumstance, immigration path, physical and mental health, and any other identity God has given you to shine your light in the world. We believe that we are called to follow Jesus in serving our world and our community: welcoming the stranger, feeding the hungry, loving our neighbors, and working for justice.  We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, committed to the full inclusion and affirmation of LGBTQIA+ people and to the ongoing work of racial equity. There is a place for you at Gloria Dei. We welcome you – your identities, your histories, your stories.  We celebrate your unique and holy gifts as we grow together in faith: created by God, saved by Christ, and nurtured by the Holy Spirit.

Our Faithful Innovation Guiding Team has talked about how important our relationships with each other are as a church family – and how it’s often difficult to learn people’s stories, even when we’re not navigating a pandemic.  We’re starting a series in which people will share where they came from and how they found their way to Gloria Dei.  The members of our Guiding Team are sharing their stories first, and they’ll be inviting you to do the same.  Let’s celebrate both the unique facets of our individual journeys and the intersections that we will discover among them.
