As many begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and we prayerfully return to more programming at Gloria Dei, God continues to inspire us to grow in faith with small group opportunities this summer. We give thanks for the Holy Spirit's work, encouraging us to grow in faith even through challenging circumstances. Feel free to contact the church office at 651-699-1378, if you have questions about any programs.
