One Family Bible Class This week's Bible Class lesson is Luke 17:11-19 where Jesus heals the 10 lepers. Sin brought sickness and death into the world. Just as Jesus healed the 10 lepers, He heals us from the sickness of sin and overcomes death for us.
Stewardship Sentence  1 Kings 19:18 "Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him." Elijah was so sure that he was right: that he was the only one left who had not gone after Baal. But he was too pessimistic; his faith in God was off-center. We can't go by our own wisdom. We must trust the Lord and what He has revealed to us in His Word. Think about how this applies to our support of God's work in the Church with our offering (take at look in the Small Catechism's Table of Duties to see what the Bible has to say about our giving....). |

| Upcoming Voters' Meeting The second reading of the budget and approval will be on Sunday, June 26 at 10:30am, immediately following the worship service. Bible class will meet after the meeting. All members are strongly encouraged to attend this important meeting. Thanks, The Leadership Council |
| After the Vision Survey...Glendale Visions and Plans Your response to our Vision Survey told us WHERE YOU WANT GLC to be in 2021. Where you want us to be includes having more young families and young adults in our fellowship and at worship, having enough worshippers to have at least three services on a weekend with services of more variety, and keeping GLC strong as a place of hospitality and care. How do we do this? Your Leadership Council and Elders have some ideas. But we believe you have some as well. Your Leadership Council will be gathering at church for half-day retreat to develop plans to move forward. We would like you to join us on July 16, 2016, beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending no later than noon. There will be coffee and tea and a few other goodies to munch, but the most important person to have present is YOU! Please join us. |
| 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. |
Rummage Sale Rewind! New Date - Saturday, July 9  Due to circumstances beyond our control, publication for the date and time of our sale was not as widespread as we had planned. As a result, participation from bargain seekers was less than half what we have come to expect over past years. Revenue was just under $1,000. While this is $1,000 we did not have before, the consensus from the volunteers was that we should set another date soon and try again. We WILL have another sale on Saturday, July 9, from 7:30am to Noon. If you missed the opportunity to clean out/ pare down you have yet another chance. Items can be brought to the gym stage beginning NEXT WEEK June 26 through July 6. Let's work together to achieve the $2500 to $3000 results that we have experienced in the past. |
Life Together Church Family Potlucks Join us July 13 at 5:30pm for another potlock! Bring a dish to share and a healthy appetite. See you there!

| 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." |

Make a Difference by Hosting an International Student! Would you like to provide a supportive, encouraging environment for an international student attending Lutheran South? Would you like to see your family be enriched by helping an international student experience American culture? As the Lutheran High School Association focuses on expanding its home stay program for international students, we are partnering with LPI Learning to identify host families. LPI Learning provides unique global educational opportunities which encourage participants to learn about the world around them, inspiring them to make it a better place through life-changing experiences.
Hosting an international student is a wonderful experience with many benefits: - Experience a new culture and customs
- Bring international understanding to your home, school and community
- Receive a generous monthly stipend for hosting
- Change the life of an international student by allowing them to experience American education and culture
- Share the love of Christ
- Become friends for life with a student from another country!
LPI Learning manages the entire host family enrollment process, including the interview, screening and payments of monthly stipends. They provide 24/7 support through their national office and have local representatives in our community. Additionally, international students benefit from Lutheran South's learning environment, where they are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities and athletics to enhance their college readiness. Our experienced faculty members give personalized attention to each student, helping them to learn, communicate and develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills they need for future success in an American university. Learn more about the host family experience, the stipend and the application process or contact Jessica Pignataro at (203) 680-9982.
