Click to watch the "You Raise Me Up" video performed by Mat and Savanna Shaw (Josh Groban cover; arrangement by Stephen Nelson) shared during Sunday's worship service.
These compelling lyrics speak so beautifully for themselves. In times of heartache and despair, there is a longing for the companionship of another to lift us, support us, teach us, and love us. Take a moment today to thank the cherished, irreplaceable sources in your life who “raise you up!”

Share the Love with Tikkun Farm
Click HERE to make your donation by February 15
On Christmas Eve, Pastor Mary Laymon suffered a devastating fire. Thankfully there was no loss of life, but the fire caused a complete loss of the farm's main house, living space, and headquarters.
Church Council has approved a $5,000 donation from Gloria Dei, and are inviting the congregation to Share the Love with Tikkun Farm by also making donations by February 15.
You may also send in checks made out to Gloria Dei Church with Share the Love written on the memo line. Thank you for your generosity!
