Building Care
Coming Up: Building Required Backflow Testing and Inspection.
The lower-level hallway bathroom’s ejector pump failed due to a faulty circuit breaker--now replaced.
Huge thanks to Matt Shultz and Jerry Harned for installing a brand-new toilet in the women’s restroom.
Our annual fire alarm and sprinkler inspections were completed, helping ensure our building remains safe and compliant.
Heavy rains this past month brought yet another leak into the Narthex—a reminder that our aging roof is in need of full replacement.
Brickwork repair is needed on Sanctuary entrance steps—now temporarily cordoned off.
A new exit handlebar (“panic bar”) is needed on the Sanctuary doors.
We are grateful for the support that makes these repairs possible. Every gift helps us steward this sacred space with care, and to continue to sustain our required financial obligations. If you feel called to share your talents in being a part of our property team, please contact the church office or Matt Shultz.
Around the DC Metro Synod
Anti-Racism: An Ordinary Hero: Conversation with Joan Trumpauer Mulholland
Sunday, June 22 | 3 – 5 PM (includes a reception)
GSLC worship space & online (accessibility features)
Public event – all are welcome - 💻 Register
What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
In the 1960s, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland was a White college student from the South who put herself on the front lines of the Civil Rights struggle. She participated in the Freedom Rides, enrolled as the first White student at Tougaloo College, contributed to the Jackson sit-in movement, and was active in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Join us for an impactful conversation with Joan and her son Loki Mulholland, an author and documentarian. They'll share how Joan's faith led her to accompany her Black friends and others in the struggle against racial injustice in our country and commit her life to this ongoing work.
Joan and Loki will also discuss racial justice in the current moment and the importance of our individual and community efforts, no matter how big or small, in the collective struggle for equality for all.
There will be time for some questions and answers at the end and a reception and book signing will follow at 4 PM.
Questions? Contact Lori Strauss.
The Lord’s Wake
The Metro D.C. Synod Youth + Family Ministry Team invites youth and families from the Metro D.C. and Delaware-Maryland Synods to a day of fun, fellowship, and faith at the lake! Come to The Lord’s Wake – Youth + Family Day at Leesylvania State Park on Friday, June 27, for games, a shared lunch, and a special devotional reflecting on the faith-filled ripples we create in the world.
The event will be held at Picnic Pavilion #4 (handicapped accessible with restrooms, water, electricity, and a grill). We’ll gather from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, but the pavilion is reserved from 8:00 AM to dusk—feel free to arrive early or stay a bit longer on your own!
Cost: Just the $10/vehicle entrance fee to the park. Need help covering that? Let us know—we’ve got you covered.
Click here to register by Monday, June 23.
There is no lifeguard on duty—adult supervision is required for youth who plan to swim. Bring your beach towels, walking shoes, or simply your picnic spirit—and join us for WAKE 2025
