Welcome to the Lord's Supper All worshippers are invited to our communion table. Children who commune in their home church will be served if they hold out their hand. Non-communing children will receive a blessing. If you prefer to be served wine, take an empty glass when the tray is offered to you. If you prefer grape juice, take a filled glass from the tray. Thank you for worshipping at Gloria Dei today. We hope you'll return often.
Welcome to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church! As you look around you will see that children are an important part of our worshipping community. Their presence grows out of our commitment to incorporate children in the life and mission of Gloria Dei and to nurture them in a growing relationship with God. Why? Became we take seriously our responsibility to help raise the next generation of God's people. In so doing, we recall the words of Deuteronomy 6:5-7... You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and might. Keep these words that I command you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home avid when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bringing children to church may not always be easy, but it is an extremely vital part of their spiritual growth. Children learn by the example of adults how to worship God. We trust that, together, we can provide a positive experience for our youngest worshippers. 1. Some helpful hints for preparing children to worship in the sanctuary:
