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
The resurrection stories after Easter often get lost in family celebrations, springtime track meets, and the end of the school year madness. It’s important that we hear the stories of Jesus appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. These eyewitness accounts all have 3 things in common: Jesus proclaims peace, joy, and the Holy Spirit to all of his disciples, including us.

In the Gospel of John reading for this weekend, Jesus appears to the disciples for the third time at the Sea of Galilee, where He first called them, and where it all started. Jesus gives the disciples a new commission. To commission someone is to charge them with a task, giving them authority to do something. Just like Jesus calls these 12 to go forth with authority to spread the Good News, we too are commissioned to go out. How is Jesus calling and sending you?
