Lenten Journey at Gloria Dei
As we begin our Lenten journey on Ash Wednesday, February 18, Gloria Dei invites everyone to join us for this sacred season of reflection and renewal. Lenten services will be held every Wednesday at 4:00 PM, beginning on Ash Wednesday.
On Ash Wednesday, we will also offer “Ashes to Go” from 11:30 AM–1:00 PM, available where the sidewalk meets the parking lot at the church. This walk-up and drive-thru option is perfect for homebound individuals and those with busy schedules.
All are welcome at Gloria Dei Lutheran. Come as you are and receive ashes, prayer, and a reminder of God’s grace.
BLESSING OF THE QUILTS
Each year several women create these beautiful quilts. Today, they are being dropped off for distribution to many in need of comfort. Pray a blessing on this ministry and our participation in it.
Lord, we’ve come seeking your blessing for these things we lay before you, the work of our hands and our hearts.Bless now our eyes that we may see you.
We pray for the ministry of Lutheran World Relief and our partnership together to be your hands and feet in a hurting world. Bless our labor, that our hearts would be joyful in this work you have given us.
When we’ve gathered Kits for babies’ care, grant us to see you small as once you were, swaddled and washed in the manger. Let us see you in the babies wrapped in these blankets.
When we’ve gathered Kits for school and study, grant us to see you with the teachers, as once you tarried in the temple. Let us see you in the hands of the children writing in these notebooks.
And when we’ve made Quilts for protection from cold and a shield from heat, grant us to see you as once you had no place to lay your headLet us see you in the arms reaching out to receive these Quilts. Grant us this view of the world with heaven’s sight,
that we may more fully embrace our calling as your servants.
Give us courage to glimpse our world turned upside down, then bless us with your unworldly peace.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Servant Lord, Amen.
What a fantastic achievement for everyone who contributed to were involved with the exterior painting of our church building. Special thanks to Kathleen Birdsall for overseeing this project! It’s inspiring to see how the freshly renewed facade already elevates the curb-appeal and warm welcome of the church.
Your finishing touches are bringing new life to the building—highlighting that this is not just a structure, but a place of gathering, faith, and community. The new paintwork will serve as a bright, visible sign of the vibrancy and care within the congregation.
Congratulations on the nearly finished project — I hope the final steps bring the same satisfaction and joy that the work so far clearly reflects.
