LET THERE BE LIGHT!
GLORIA DEI SOLAR DEDICATION
Sunday, Sep 13, 2026 - 11am

With thankfulness for the gift of light and for our shared calling as stewards of creation, we gather to dedicate Gloria Dei’s 19.3 kW solar array and 40kWh solar storage battery to the glory of God. On Sunday, September 13, following 10:00-11:00 a.m. worship, we will gather outside in the alley where our solar system is located to share in a brief service of readings, remarks, singing, and prayers of dedication. Representatives from Star Power Electric, who installed the battery and the wall-mounted panels, and MN Interfaith Power & Light, will be present to show details of our solar plus battery system and respond to questions. As renewable energy increases our capacity for ministry in the neighborhood, we are grateful to God for planners and installers, financial givers and community partners, and all who helped bring these projects to reality. All are welcome!

GRIEFSHARE RETURNS AUGUST 8 — PARTICIPANTS WELCOME

Because last year’s GriefShare program was such a meaningful and supportive experience for participants and volunteers alike, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church is grateful to once again offer this 13-week grief support program.

Are you or someone you love navigating grief after the loss of a loved one? GriefShare offers a caring and welcoming place to receive encouragement, support, and hope alongside others who understand. We are also currently seeking additional volunteer facilitators to help support and grow this important ministry.

This 13-week GriefShare group will meet on Saturday mornings beginning August 8 through November 7, 2026, from 9:30–11:30 AM in the
Lakeside Room at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. This year’s schedule also includes a bonus “Surviving the Holidays” session, offering extra support as participants approach the holiday season.

GriefShare is a compassionate, video-based support group designed to help individuals move through the journey of grief with encouragement, faith, and community. Each session includes practical teaching from trusted Christian counselors and grief experts, group discussion, and personal reflection. Topics
include loneliness, difficult emotions, questions for God, regrets, hope, and moving forward.

Grief can feel incredibly isolating, but no one has to walk through it alone. Whether your loss is recent or from many years ago, GriefShare offers a caring and welcoming place to be supported, heard, and encouraged alongside others who understand.

Cost: $5 per person
(Includes participant workbook and all classes.)

Many thanks to the volunteer facilitators who make this ministry possible:
Deb Clark, Connie Moeller, Barb Switzer, Greg Turinetti, Ruth Witmers, Tammi
Marietta, Paul Winters, and Beth Olson.
