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 10:25 "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" There is nothing right about this question. What shall I do to inherit? What can you do to inherit the throne of England? You can't do anything to gain those things: an inheritance comes by family ties, not deeds. Our deeds follow and result from our family ties: the Father calls us His own children. So we inherit eternal life by grace, and seek to live out our new calling as the Father's children with our good works. |

| Youth  We want to extend a special thank you to the members of GLC for supporting the youth this past school year by participating in our various fundraisers and fellowship events. Also, special thank you to the leadership counsel for their support of the youth. Please pray for the safe travel of nearly 25,000 youth and adults heading to New Orleans this next week for the National Youth Gathering. Again thank you! Glendale Lutheran Youth

| 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.

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.
