† LUTHERAN STUDY BIBLES  The Christian Ed Committee has heard some     interest from a few of our Sunday School teachers and others interested in purchasing Lutheran Study Bibles.  To help with the cost of the shipping and get a small discount, GSLC has ordered some Lutheran Study Bibles that we will be offering to the congregation for purchase.  The cost of these Bibles will be $40.00.  If you are interested in purchasing a Bible, please contact the church office, 358-1325.
