Social & Learning Opportunities
Kids & Parents: We're excited to resume Sunday school! On the first and third Sundays of each month, 9:00-9:45, Sunday school for grade schoolers meets in the nursery and possibly also the fellowship hall. Please let Pastor Brett know if your child plans to participate so that we can plan and possibly group students by age.
We're also starting something we're calling Little Lutherans, a gathering for parents and littles, infant to Pre-K. This will meet on the second Sunday of each month, 9:00-9:45, starting October 9. Little Lutherans will provide fellowship for parents and some simple ways to talk about and start growing faith in your little ones.
If you are an adult who might be interested in leading, helping, or teaching (or learning how) adults, kids, or youth, please also reach out to Pastor Brett.
If you haven't already, parents of kids infant through school age, please complete our parent survey here, to help us plan for group sizes, children's ages and interest. This fall for all ages we'll be using the excellent Manna and Mercy curriculum, which uses excellent theology, engaging lessons, and real-life application, to learn the story of the Bible and our faith.
Weekly Bible study Thursdays, 7:30-8:30pm on Zoom, led by Pastor Brett. (Zoom link here!) We're reading together the book of Acts from the New Testament. Feel free to join in whenever you can - no prior experience or continuity is required. See you Thursday nights! You can use any online Bible to follow along (a simple NRSV, same translation we use in worship, is here: bible.oremus.org), or recommended print Bibles include the Harper Collins Study Bible and Lutheran Study Bible (with the blue cover, published by Augsburg Fortress).
Early in the summer we had two one-session topic studies - on topics which, given current events, our wider church has encouraged us to study our denomination's statements and faith perspective/resources on. Pastor Brett created a study guide for self study or learning more about each topic: Abortion and Community Violence.

Getting Connected: New/Prospective Member Session
If you're new to the GLC community, or would like to meet people who are, come join in for Getting Connected, 11:15-12:30 in the fellowship hall, Sunday October 2.
Getting Connected is a gathering to learn more about GLC and each other. It's open to any who are curious, and especially those considering church membership. Come if you've been before, are interested in joining, or a current member wanting to welcome others! Pastor Brett has redesigned the content, and we'll share a bit about GLC, what it means to be a Lutheran Christian and a member of our church community. For those interested in joining, we'll celebrate welcoming you as members in the context of worship sometime soon. Questions? Interested? Talk with Pastor Brett - pastor@georgetownlutheran.com
