SUMMARY:SUNDAY WORSHIP - Contemplative Communion
DESCRIPTION:March 6\, 2022: First Sunday in Lent \nContemplative Communion in the Chapel at 8:00 a.m. \nGospel Service with Communion — in the Chapel and Livestream on Facebook at 9:30 a.m. (Or on Facebook any time after.) \nWomen of Lent Series:   \nPsalm 17:7-9                        God as mother bird  \nMark 12:38-44                      The Widow’s Offering           \n\nCovid-19 Regulations\n\n\nIn light of the ongoing pandemic and the presence of the Delta variant\, we are all wearing masks for the 9:30 service. Other congregations are making different choices\, accepting greater levels of risk\, but we have opted to take a cautious path throughout. We believe it is our duty and it is also our desire to protect the vulnerable among us and to adapt ourselves to the current times. We all live each day doing the best we can. We are a church that recognizes life is fragile and we are inherently vulnerable. We are always a breath away from our mortality. Please realize we make every effort to minimize the risk of transmitting COVID-19 during worship\, but even being careful cannot remove all risk. Also\, we want our non-vaccinated friends to be able to worship with us without being singled out. The 8am service is a much smaller group and there are few responses and no singing\, so mask wearing there has been optional. We are asking all who attend the 8am service to have a face covering with you\, just in case we have a friend in attendance who is not yet comfortable being out without covering. Thank you.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Questers Study - 12 step
DESCRIPTION:The 12 Steps of AA are a guide to living a spiritual life. In the church\, we might call them a format for discipleship. I have adapted them slightly so they more explicitly apply to everyone\, not just alcoholics. The group that met in the fall to study The 12 Steps thought it would be helpful to be able to continue to reflect on them so once a month\, we will have an opportunity to consider our approach to living with an eye for the Steps\, melding them with our faith. In January we will study Step 1. In February Step 2 and so on. \nWe will meet at 7:00 pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month on the GLC Zoom link.

SUMMARY:SUNDAY WORSHIP- Classic Communion
DESCRIPTION:JANUARY 9\, 2022: Baptism of Our Lord \nFirst Reading: Isaiah 43:1-7 – When you pass through the waters\, do not fear\, for I am with you \nPsalm: Psalm 29 – The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. (Ps. 29:3) \nSecond Reading: Acts 8:14-17 – Prayer and laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit \nGospel: Luke 3:15-17\, 21-22 – The baptism of Jesus with the descent of the Holy Spirit \n  \nCovid-19 Regulations\n\n\nIn light of the ongoing pandemic and the presence of the Delta variant\, we are all wearing masks for the 9:30 service. Other congregations are making different choices\, accepting greater levels of risk\, but we have opted to take a cautious path throughout. We believe it is our duty and it is also our desire to protect the vulnerable among us and to adapt ourselves to the current times. We all live each day doing the best we can. We are a church that recognizes life is fragile and we are inherently vulnerable. We are always a breath away from our mortality. Please realize we make every effort to minimize the risk of transmitting COVID-19 during worship\, but even being careful cannot remove all risk. Also\, we want our non-vaccinated friends to be able to worship with us without being singled out. The 8am service is a much smaller group and there are few responses and no singing\, so mask wearing there has been optional. We are asking all who attend the 8am service to have a face covering with you\, just in case we have a friend in attendance who is not yet comfortable being out without covering. Thank you.
