Join us in person or live-stream on Facebook this Sunday. We are open for both services and will be live-streaming both. If you have a Facebook account, click on the Facebook link on the home screen to access the videos. The videos are saved to the page, so you don't have to watch live if that doesn't work for you.
We will continue to provide a Worship Devotional. It will be posted online the Friday before each Sunday.
Click on the "Find Out More" button to download the Worship Devotional for the Third Sunday of Easter, April 18.

There will once again be a drive through food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network's FREE Neighborhood Market at TBA on Saturday, 5/1/21, from 9-11 a.m.
Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, and you will need to bring your own mask. On 5/1, anyone planning to volunteer who is or has been feeling ill - especially if they have or have had a fever, cough or flu-like symptoms - is asked to PLEASE stay home. Volunteers will be encouraged to drive through and get food for their own household, too, just like usual.
Please share this information with everyone you know who could benefit and with those who might want to volunteer. Questions can be directed to me @ 13jdixon13@gmail.com or 559-287-3457.

Suspected Arson
As many of you know, Anthony and his family have a nail salon where they offer manicures, pedicures, and the like. In early February, the On shop was broken into and set on fire.
Not only was there smoke and fire damage, but there was additional damage due to water from the ceiling sprinkler system. They do have insurance, but naturally it only covers so much.
If you would like to contribute to their recovery, you can drop off gift card, cash or a check made out to GSLC at the office, or you can put it in with your offering. Please be sure to note "Anthony" in the memo section. This is a wonderful opportunity to shower one of our family with God's love!
Shalom, Julie W.
Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
Happy Easter! Unless you are reading this the first few of days it is released we are in Eastertime! If you are reading this before April 4 we are still in Holy Week. How exciting that we are going to be resuming worship services for everyone! We will be open for our 9:00 and 10:30 Easter worship services. This has been a long wait. We haven’t seen some of you for over a year.
Easter is a time of celebrating life. Of course, Jesus’ resurrection from the dead is at the center of our celebrations. But there is life all around us. During these warmer days we are seeing blossoms and new life everywhere.
One way of affirming life is by getting the vaccine for Covid-19. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of misinformation that has some people thinking it’s not a good idea. That is extremely unfortunate. We have such a golden chance to return to some kind of normalcy. I want to be clear that I believe the vaccine is a gift from God. I recommend we all get it. There is a question of whether or not it is effective for organ transplant recipients and I’m getting it. There is no way I am going to miss out on taking this opportunity to strengthen my health and the health of my church and greater community.
Happy Easter! (Unless you are still in Holy Week! Then penitence is best.) I hope you find all kinds of new life around you to celebrate. It will be wonderful to celebrate with you!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
