One Family Bible Class This week we see how Jesus blesses the little children in Mark 10:13-16. In our sinful foolishness we prize self-sufficiency and believe we can take or ourselves, looking to the things of this world to satisfy and save us. God knows that we are like helpless children who can do nothing to save ourselves. In His love, God provides all that we need for this body and life, working salvation for us through His Son. Stewardship Sentence  Luke 10:20 "But rejoice that your names are written in heaven." No one can snatch us out of the nail-marked hands of Jesus: He has redeemed us and claimed us as His own. As those whose names are written in heaven, we seek to live heavenly lives here on earth. This is the foundation of all our good works, including the good work of faithfully supporting the work of the Church. It's our joy in having been redeemed by the Lord through the activity of the Church that motivates us. |
Pastor Wise on KFUO On Thursday, July 7 at 11:00 a.m. Pastor Wise will be the guest pastor on "Thy Strong Word" Bible study radio program on KFUO (am 850). The topic of the study is James, chapter 4. |

Focused Effort and a Few Blisters Got It Done Many thanks to Ron Froesel, John Brugere, Joel Bergt, Pastor Wise and, especially, Tom Crabtree who showed up last Saturday morning and in two short hours stripped rug and tile from areas in the parish house scheduled to be refurbished in mid-July. We say a special thanks to Tom Crabtree because he brought the "magic scraper" without which the job would not have been completed.

| 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.

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. |
Community Service Opportunity to Help Pastor Dave Pastor Dave needs our help. He needs volunteers to help him with Vacation Bible School at his new parish, St. Paul's in College Hills (north St. Louis). His VBS is scheduled for July 18-22 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. each evening. We would like to get a group together that would meet here at GLC and then travel together in one or two cars. If you can help, please sign up on the Outreach bulletin board in the hallway. This is a wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with inner city kids and put a little joy in their lives.

| 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." |
