Weekly Newsletter

June 9th 2024

Welcome to the Gethsemane Lutheran Church Newsletter. We welcome all who are members of Gethsemane, as well as those who are discovering us for the first time, to join us in our mission journey. We hope to keep you up-to-date in these times of amazing change for our church community. Feel free to forward the newsletter to others and give us the emails of those you think my wish to connect with us and see what great things God is doing with our church each week!


Gethsemane Lutheran Church has taken a significant step towards inclusivity and accessibility by launching a bilingual website. With this initiative, the church aims to bridge language barriers and foster a more connected and welcoming community. By integrating Spanish and English translations seamlessly into our worship services, outreach programs, and community activities, Gethsemane Lutheran Church is committed to ensuring that all members, regardless of language, feel valued and included. This endeavor not only enhances communication but also strengthens bonds within the congregation, promoting a spirit of unity and understanding.


We hope you take a chance to visit out website and share it!
