Intentional Interim

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

Ladies’ Night Out

Sunday, February 15th, at 5:00 pm

The Ladies’ Night Out dinner has been set, so mark your calendars for this fun-filled event which only happens once a year!

Ladies, the men will be serving us, so come prepared for a nice dinner.  Guys, this is your night to serve and clean up.  Before dinner, there will be some wonderful gospel entertainment by the Garms Family, a family of nine from Minnesota.  Check out their website www.thegarmsfamily.com.  A door offering is encouraged.

Our famous dessert bar is back, time for the men to show off their kitchen skills.  Bring a  favorite dessert to add to the dessert buffet.

Please use the sign-up sheet in the narthex, or call the church office, 358-1325, if you plan to attend, so we will know how much food to prepare.  You won’t want to miss this always enjoyable get-together!

*Volunteers needed!  Please Contact Lora W.

Wednesday Midweek Lenten Services

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.
