As we look ahead to 2024, we invite you to consider your level of giving. At Gloria Dei, we believe that everyone plays a crucial part in our community. Faith Matters.
Advent and Christmas 2025
In everyday life, that time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is referred to as the Season of Christmas. In the church, we call this time Advent.
Whatever we call it, it is a time of preparation, tradition, hope, and celebration that God so loved the world that he became flesh to live among us.
We hope that you can join us in some way this season!
