The Voters’ decided to use an Intentional Interim Pastor during the calling process after Pastor Schnackenberg retires. You will be hearing more about this later this Spring.
We thank God for all our blessings and continue to ask Him to guide us as we seek to do His work here at GSLC
11:00 am & 7:00 pm
Lent starts Wednesday, February 18, and we will again hold an additional service each Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. This is to give those who do not drive at night or who have evening activities an opportunity to attend the midweek services.
The Ash Wednesday service, which marks the beginning of the Lenten season, will again have the dispensation of ashes and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Portions of the Passion story will be read during each midweek service.
Christians have observed this season of the church year since the fourth century. It is traditionally a time of reflection, penitence and spiritual renewal before Easter.
During Lent, some Christians give up something that hinders their relationship with God. Others do something extra for their spiritual growth or make a special sacrifice. The key is to make Lent a memorable season of sincere spiritual growth — a time that can set the tone for the rest of the year. We pray that these midweek services will enable people to focus on the passion of our Lord and its meaning in our lives.
Classes: The usual policy is that whenever the Carthage Schools close due to bad weather, all classes at the church will also be cancelled.
Church Services: When we’re having extreme weather, watch the KOAM-TV scroll cancellation notices on the bottom of your television screen for possible church service cancellations.
PARKING: If you need assistance parking when the lot is snowy, pull your car under the breezeway and ask for assistance from an usher.
Starting June 1, we will have one worship service on Sunday and it will begin at 9:00 am. Sunday School and Bible Class will be at 10:30 am.
