† SERVICE OPTIONS  We are offering a ‘Service of the Word’ on the first and third Sunday’s of the month and a ‘Service of the Sacrament’ on the second and fourth Sundays.  January has a fifth Sunday so we will have an extra Service of the Word this month.  The next Service of the Word will be at 7:45 am on      Sunday, January 31.  Because these are high precaution services we encourage everyone to wear masks and we will have minimal singing.  Starting February 7, the beginning time for these services will change to 8:00 am.

† GSLC YOUTH BOWLING  For January, we will be going bowling!  Please join us for fellowship and fun if you are able this Saturday, Jan. 30, 4:00-5:30 pm at Grace Lanes in Carthage.  You are welcome to bring along friends (grades 7 – 12) – just let us know how many to plan on so we can reserve the right number of lanes.  Please Contact Petra McGuire at 437-9015 or pmcguirephd@gmail.com.

† ALTAR FLOWERS  The 2021 flower chart still has several empty spots.  If your would like to put flowers on the altar please sign up on the list hanging on the wall by the water fountain.  It’s a wonderful way to honor a loved one, celebrate a special occasion, or to say “thank you, Lord” for blessings received.
