Grace of God Lutheran Church

Grace of God Lutheran Church Sunday Worship: 10:00am
At Grace of God we are: loving God, living our faith, Inviting and welcoming all....and having a good time doing it! All are welcome!

Come and Worship with us every Sunday at 10 am at the Long Neck Cheer center! (beside Grotto's and the Ocean Grill on Long Neck Rd.) We are a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Congregation. Grace of God Lutheran Church was founded by the people and pastor of Community Lutheran Church in Frankford, DE., in cooperation with the Delaware-Maryland Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. For fi

ve summers prior to its naming, GOGLC was a preaching point for summer visitors and residents on the north shore of the Indian River Bay. Pastor John Barton and several members of Community Lutheran made the trek north each Sunday to offer Lutheran Worship in an area where there was no Lutheran presence. Worship was held in various locations, including the Indian Mission Methodist Church and even above a liquor store! Once a new church was approved for development by the ELCA, Pastor Judith Moller was appointed as mission developer. The name Grace of God Lutheran Church was chosen through prayer and study by the original nineteen members, and the first worship was held on November 28, 2005.

“Owe no one anything, except to love one another.”
—Romans 13:8

There is one debt we never finish paying: love.
Not love only for those who agree with us.
Not love only when it is convenient.
Not love only when it is returned.

The love Christ calls us to keeps reaching outward.
It looks like mercy when judgment would be easier.

Truth spoken with compassion.
Courage in the face of injustice.
Forgiveness that opens a way forward.
Care for the neighbor whose needs we might rather not see.

We will never reach a day when we can say, “I have loved enough.”

There will always be another opportunity to love.

On this Sunday, may we receive God's abundant grace and carry that grace with us into a world still hungry for love.

"Pray for congregations’ fall programs and ministries, that their leaders and volunteers will strengthen people’s faith, deepen their understanding of Scripture, discern their gifts and nurture their sense of community." —Prayer Ventures

When the Bible talks about repentance, it may include confession, apology and changed actions, but it also means much more. Metanoia – the Greek word translated as “repentance” in the New Testament – literally means a change of mind, a transformation of perspective. To repent – as John the Baptist and Jesus meant it – is to change direction.

We can think of repentance, then, as a turnaround: a return to God and a change of heart. Simple – but not easy. It is tempting to envision this return as a long, arduous (and heroic) journey we make back to the place where we lost track.

Yet when Jesus and John the Baptism invite their listeners to “repent,” it does not mean that we need to make our way closer to a God who is distant, separated or far off, but the opposite: The kingdom of God has come near. When we turn back to God, we find an all-encompassing love that has never left us alone, not for an instant – so there is nothing to fear in repentance.

This message is excerpted from the Bible study “Turn, turn, turn: A time for faithful repentance” (Session one) by Meghan Johnston Aelabouni in the September 2018 Gather magazine. Today is the 15th Sunday after Pentecost.

Following Jesus changes how we think, love, speak, and serve. His life becomes visible through ordinary acts of compassion.

“It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” — Galatians 2:20.
