GLC E-Newsletter

Pastor Trudy's message

Worship is always practice for life. A full range of stories, experiences and emotion are included most weeks. Holy Week is practice for all those 'Holy Weeks' of illness or accident or loss that happen unexpectedly in our lives. Times when everything is off balance and uncertain. Worship during Holy Week prepares us for those times, that whether they last a week or months or years, we can have confidence that there will be new life awaiting us at the end of it.

Mighty and Holy God, thank you for slowing us down and inviting us to ponder how You join us in challenging times and promise new life, always! In Jesus' name, Amen.



LET'S LIVE OUT OUR GENEROSITY!

Sign up to participate on Sunday mornings!

Why would I want to go to ALL of the Holy Week services?

We surround with our prayers the family of Kris Lind, who died on Monday, April 3rd. The visitation will be at Geneva Lutheran beginning at 9a on Monday, April 10th, followed by a service at 11a and luncheon at 12p.  Please contact Julie Slifka to donate food or your time to help with the luncheon.
