Faith Formation Ministry
One Family Bible Class In Bible class this week we are studying Luke 15 and the parables of the lost. In our sin we were lost from God and doomed to die. God, in His love, sought and found us and keeps us with Him forever.
Stewardship Sentence  Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." It is very easy to get caught up in the present and lose track of our ultimate destiny in the Kingdom of God. St. Paul encourages us to keep eternity in mind. This certainly has an application to our support for the Gospel - if we keep our focus on "the glory to be revealed" we will see our tithes and offerings in a new light. |

| Our CCLS Assistance Fund Needs Extra Help For many years our congregation has provided tuition assistance to families with children enrolled at CCLS. As a member congregation of the CCLS association we have made a commitment that no child be denied a Christian education because of financial need. Funds are given by GLC members specifically for CCLS tuition assistance and are not part of our general operating funds or our CCLS assessment. Each year we work with CCLS to identify families with special financial needs using a standardized financial application process. Approximately $14,000 is needed to support this part of our ministry through the next school year. Please consider making a gift to the CCLS Assistance Fund. Gifts can be placed in the offering with the designation "CCLS Tuition Assistance". The GLC commitments to Lutheran education and CCLS have always been tremendous. A little extra giving to this fund helps make sure that this Christian learning experience is available to all of our congregation's children. Questions about this program can be directed to Pastor Wise or Andy Ortstadt (aortstadt@gmail.com). Thank you for your continued support. |

| Thank You--Painters Thanks to expert volunteers, Marcia Hempel, Rodger Lubben, Tony Petzoldt, Steve Phelps, and Beth Nicolaus. Both "new" CCLS area walls were given a fresh coat of paint as well as some areas upstairs that needed attention. Two hours over two Saturday mornings got the job done. We are still looking for volunteers to remove (tear up) carpeting and tile on Saturday, June 25. If we can get 6 to 8 energetic types, we can be done in two hours. Bruce Hartung is busy recruiting some seminary types looking to work off some steam to supplement our effort. Will you please help? Sign up on the kiosk - note new target date to get this done. |
| New Exciting News Regarding Our Worship Service Internet Broadcast Thanks to the generous financial underwriting of one of our members all of our worship service broadcasts going forward can now be viewed COMMERCIAL FREE!! These sometimes frequent, sometimes inappropriate, always intrusive commercial ads had been a part of our broadcasts since we began this effort some years ago and was the "price" we paid for a "free" service. Want to hear that sermon again, did you really like that choir music, click on the church website - glendalelutheranchurch.org, then find the "button" for web broadcast and select the appropriate service from the archives that appear. Worship services are there for at least two months back. Commercial free broadcasts cost $99.00 a month. If anyone has a heart to help support this effort, funds can be designated for "Internet Broadcast." |
