Please be sure to check the Sunday church bulletin to confirm that week’s time and location, or just give Kari or Whitney a call with any questions!

Thank You
A big thanks to Kari Schmidt and Jeff Emerson for offering their home for the Mission Trip Garage Sale. Gloria Dei members came through again with a large amount of items donated to the sale. The youth raised over $1,000 to be put towards the trip. Thrivent will be generously adding to this amount. Thank You Gloria Dei! – Thank You Thrivent! – Thank You Kari and Jeff!
