Celebrating the Story
We have been so thankful for all the participation through the readings, the
blogs, attending worship and all the conversations around the church-wide
emphasis of “The Story.” So, we want to celebrate and we want to celebrate big!
Nichole Nordeman, a multiple GMA Dove Award winner,
including two awards for Female Vocalist of the
Year, will offer a concert at Gloria Dei. There will be
no charge to attend the concert.
Nichole was approached to create an album for "The Story." She accepted and wrote 17 songs from the first person perspectives of the characters of the Bible and applying them today. Listen to her talk about writing the songs.
Want to help?
To help cover the cost of the event, we are
looking for 100 VIP families or businesses to
donate $100. Each VIP will be given tickets for
advance seating. If you are interested in helping
with the concert, please contact Bill Clark at Bill Clark or give online by clicking here.
Here's some of her music:
Why | Holy | What if | I am with you (A story of Ruth and Naomi) with Amy Grant | Love Story |

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Members
Choice Dollars can go to Gloria Dei
If you are a member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, you have a new, easy way to help support what matters most to you—even your own congregation. Through Thrivent ChoiceSM, a new charitable grant program, members can help choose where Thrivent Financial distributes some of its charitable funds each year.
By directing Choice Dollars, you can request funding for thousands of Lutheran organizations nationwide, including Gloria Dei. Potential designated Choice Dollars amounts that can be directed range from $25 to $500 for each eligible member.
Please note: If you designated Thrivent Choice funds to Gloria Dei last year, please go online to designate your recurring direction for 2012. Thrivent does not automatically roll over 2011 recurring directions to 2012, you must set it up for 2012. For more information click here. |
