Kirsten and Clay Cook are renewing their wedding vows!

You are invited to celebrate with them at Prairie Moon Winery on Saturday, August 22, at 8:00 p.m. Enjoy an evening of dancing, desserts, drinks, lawn and card games and more!

Kirsten and Clay (and Ledger and Cohen, too!) are so grateful for the family and friends who have walked alongside them through the years. Because Gilbert Lutheran Church has been such a meaningful part of their story, they would love to celebrate this special evening with you.

Again, you are invited. Please come and celebrate with them!

One of the best things to see on Sunday mornings and all throughout the week, is people coming to church with school supplies. We are gathering these for LWR (Lutheran World Relief) neighbors. The list of items is printed below for in store shopping. For those who like to shop online, Amazon links to supplies are also below. Supplies may be brought to the Shalom Room.
