Adult Faith Formation (FALL 2022)

Sunday Morning Education, 10:00-10:45 am

The Gospel Gathering led by David Cope

We will examine the prayer life of Jesus and what it means to us in the 21st century using inspiring, interactive, power point-driven discussion. Investigate the rich tradition of prayer that Jesus inherited and the way he taught his disciples, and us, how to pray. We will utilize the unbelievable scope of Jesus' actual prayers, including The Lord's Prayer. For Advent, we will explore how we acquired the modern image of Jesus and survey the Christmas portrayals of Jesus in classical art, music and literature and in worldwide art, music and literature. Meets in-person weekly in Underwood West or online Mondays at 7:00 pm Zoom. Link in Friday Faithprints or by request.

In Community


  • young adults

    Young adults make up a growing part of our congregation. Connecting them to one another and across our ministries is one of our goals as a community. Contact our Director of Cross-Generational Ministry at andrew.buck@gslchurch.org for more information.

  • Older, wiser lutherans (owls)

    OWLs serves to support and enhance the lives of seniors within the church community. Encouraging Christian fellowship, OWLs holds social events (trips to Duke Gardens and Christmas at the Governor's Mansion are among the favorites) and brunch & learns, and they focus on giving back to the community through food drives and taking communion to shut-ins and others that cannot regularly attend church.
