⛪ Joint Worship Service TODAY! ⛪

A friendly reminder that worship this Sunday, May 31, will be held at 10:00 AM at First English Lutheran Church on Ireland Road. Gloria Dei, Hilltop, and First English will gather together for this special joint service.

Following worship, everyone is invited to stay for fellowship, consolidation updates, and a Listening Post to share feedback and ask questions. We expect to conclude by approximately 12:30 PM.

Many members have already joined one of the consolidation task forces, and the remaining teams will begin their work in June. If you'd like to get involved, please speak with Pastor Patrick.

We look forward to worshiping with you on Sunday! ✨🙏
