Bulletin
Welcome to Gloria Dei; we are glad you are here!
It’s our confession that the Holy Spirit draws us in so that we can know the love and grace of Jesus. Wherever your life is right now, trust that today, God gives you these gifts.
We’d love to meet you! Stop by the Welcome Center, or make an introduction at gloriadeisf.org/hello
After Jesus dies and is raised, he appears to the disciples again. They have already seen him two times and now he appears to them again. Again turns out to be the work of God who promises to give us Good News not just once, but again and again and again.
