† HYMNALS  The hymnals are back in the pews.  If you would like to use a song sheet instead, they are available at the back by the sound booth. 

† 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.  The next Service of the Sacrament will be at 7:45 am on Sunday,  January 24.  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 on 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 M. pmcguirephd@gmail.com.

† 2020 OFFERING CONTRIBUTIONS  If you wish to receive a record of your GSLC charitable contributions for the 2020 tax year, please talk to Glenn Moll or   Denise Golden or you can contact the church office, 358-1325.

† THE QUARTERLY VOTERS’ MEETING will be held January 24 after the 9:00 am Worship Service.  If you desire to view the January 24 Voter’s Meeting online, please let the church office know early this week so they can allow you to      sign-in to the meeting.  We cannot open the Voter’s Meeting to the public as    in done with the church service.  We will strive to provide to those of you watching online any meeting handouts via mail or email.

† 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.
