Faith Formation Ministry
One Family Bible Class 
This Sunday (9/11) will be the last in the four part study on Joseph. This series is a video based Bible study from Lutheran Hour Ministries' Men's Network entitled: "Joseph: Carpenter of Steel." Next Sunday the youth will share their experiences from the recent National Youth Gathering in New Orleans. Grab a cup of coffee and come see what you can learn from our youths' perspectives. Finally, Dr. Todd Jones will begin a multi-part conversation on September 25 about the issues and challenges facing congregations as they seek to grow the impact of their ministries in their communities. Dr. Jones will bring interesting perspective to the way we look at growing our ministry.
Sunday School
Sunday School for ages 3 years through High School Seniors will resume September 25. Preschool through 1st grade children will meet in the lower level of the Parish House (under the gym). Grades 2 through 6 will meet in the lower level of the new building across from the elevator, room 012. High School youth will gather in the Youth Room. Confirmation class for 7th and 8th grade youth will be in the conference room next to Pastor's office, room 113.
Stewardship Sentence
 Eph. 3: 20-21 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. . . to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." God delights in exceeding expectations and in pouring out mercies in abundance. This truth stands in contrast to our fears about lacking what we need for "this body and life." We have an abundantly blessing God who has proven His love for us on the cross. How could we not trust Him? How could we not respond to His love with generosity and a desire to imitate Him in blessing others?
Women's Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Please join our Women's Tuesday morning Bible Study as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit using the study guide "Living Beyond Yourself!" Whether you are new to Bible study or been at it for years we'd enjoy having you join us for fellowship, sharing and support. We'll start meet Tuesday, September 13 at 9:15am. Please contact Carol Froesel or Jeanne Clark if you are interested or have questions.
Thursday Evening Women's Bible Study
The Thursday evening women's Bible study began again on September 8 at 7:00pm. Usually we have met on the first and third Thursdays of the month; because of the Labor Day weekend, we will have our study for this month on September 8 and 22. We will finish our study of I John during the next few months. If you are interested in joining in this Bible study, please let us know--a book will be ordered for you! All are warmly welcome. Please contact Cathie Albers. Join us at the church!

Thank You!
We would like to thank everyone for coming out and attending our annual Glendale Lutheran Church picnic on Sunday, August 28. The success of the picnic would not be possible if it wasn't for our faithful Church volunteers who helped in so many capacities and our youth for setting up and tearing down.

September Potluck Dinner
Wednesday September 21 will be our next potluck dinner and as  advertised, the CCLS preschool families will be our guests.
