Upcoming Events/Happenings at Gloria Dei
What a fantastic achievement for everyone who contributed to were involved with the exterior painting of our church building. Special thanks to Kathleen Birdsall for overseeing this project! It’s inspiring to see how the freshly renewed facade already elevates the curb-appeal and warm welcome of the church.
Your finishing touches are bringing new life to the building—highlighting that this is not just a structure, but a place of gathering, faith, and community. The new paintwork will serve as a bright, visible sign of the vibrancy and care within the congregation.
Congratulations on the nearly finished project — I hope the final steps bring the same satisfaction and joy that the work so far clearly reflects.
The following are pictures from our Fall fashion show that was on Tuesday 10/21. Fashions from
Fashion Labels. Guest speaker from Women Build Habitat for Humanity Lake-Sumter.
Blessing of the Pets was held Saturday, 10/4/25. Pictures are posted below.
What a joyful and heartwarming day! Our Pet Blessing event was a beautiful reminder of God’s love for all creation. Seeing our furry, feathered, and even scaly friends gathered together brought smiles to everyone’s faces. It was a true celebration of the special bond we share with our animal companions and the many ways they bless our lives.
“Good job, team! The Pet Blessing was a wonderful success — full of joy, laughter, and love. Thank you to everyone who helped make this special day possible!”
Sunday, 10/5/25, we had a cake for our Music Director, Len Cremisio, who celebrated his first year anniversary of service here at Gloria Dei, along with his lovely wife Bonnie.
“I’m so thankful for my first year of service at Gloria Dei. It’s been a season of growth, purpose, and community. Grateful for every challenge, every opportunity, and every person who’s walked alongside me. Looking forward to what God has in store next year!” Thank you!
Please join us after church on November 9th for a free presentation from Home Instead liaison Deborah. She will provide a short presentation regarding aging in place using home care vs home health care and explain the difference. Light refreshments will be provided. Please plan on attending.
