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.

(Bulletin contents updated weekly by 5pm, Saturdays.)
In response to a lack of knowledge and teaching of the Christian faith, Martin Luther wrote what he called “The Small Catechism.” It is a piece that we still use today in our teaching of confirmation and other settings. This booklet was primarily written for parents and grandparents to use in teaching their children and grandchildren. This is a good reminder of the joyful responsibility parents have for raising their children in the Christian faith.
