Community Events - You Are Invited

Hello Gloria Dei,

This week I simply want to highlight two of the many events that are happening in and through Gloria Dei. The first is coming up this Sunday, May 1. Gloria Dei is blessed to have an Open Arms Addiction Ministry that seeks to support and educate our members and friends surrounding issues of addiction. This is a community wide event. Here are the details for the event this Sunday. You are cordially invited to attend.

Addressing the Addiction Crisis
Gloria Dei’s Open Arms Addiction Ministry is hosting an event along with Pastor Ed Treat and the Center of Addiction & Faith in St Bonifacious, MN (www.addictionandfaith.com). This event will be held at Gloria Dei on Sunday evening May 1, 2022. You can take part either in person or online. The details of the event are below.

I encourage you to join me at this event. Worship will include dynamic Christian music and speakers include the Sioux Falls Mayor and the Chief of Police. I hope this works for you as we join our sisters and brothers around the Sioux Falls area to praise and worship God together.

See you in worship,

Pastor Tim
