Faith Formation Ministry
  
One Family Bible Class
As the kids take a vacation from Sunday School, it gives us adults an opportunity to tackle a timely issue. Join us in the Family Life Center over the next 4 weeks as we study "The Intersection of Church and State." This is an award winning, video based Bible study produced by Lutheran Hour Ministries. With issues of religious freedom becoming more and more prevalent it is important to understand what God's Word has to say about the Church and the state. Join us.
 
Stewardship Sentence
Luke 10:40 "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?" Martha is doing the right thing, but in the wrong order. Her service to the Lord is good - but she has let it get ahead of hearing His Word. Mary has placed the Word first, which is good: is there any doubt that she will rise once she has heard the Word and get to serving as well? Isn't that what hearing the Word always leads us to do? We listen, then respond; we believe and thus we act!

Tuesday Morning Bible Study
There will be no Bible Study for the next three Tuesdays (July 19, July 26, August 2) due to Pastor Wise being on vacation.
 Outreach
  
Kirkcare Needs Our Help
 Kirk Care Food Pantry is the only food pantry in the area that delivers and right now they are in need of specific items. Summertime is challenging for some families with kids home from school. Please brings donations and place in our shopping cart by the Family Life Center. Suggested items are: protein (canned chicken, tuna, peanut butter, etc.), pasta and sauces (Chef Boyardee, etc.), or canned fruit.
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 6:00pm-8:00pm each evening. Pastor Dave has asked if we could get a group together that would meet here at GLC and then travel together in one or two cars. We would leave about 5:00pm to arrive by 5:30pm. 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.
Employment Opportunity
Kid Kare workers needed! Do you love to work with children? Are you available from 3:00 until 6:00 p.m. on weekdays during the school year? Then we would love to have you apply to be one of our after school Kid Kare workers. Please contact Janet Leet by email: jleet@ccls-stlouis.org to apply. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
