This Sunday, Pastor Joe Glymph will lead us in worship

Joe Glymph has recently retired as pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Largo, FL. Joe grew up in South Carolina, Greenville being his hometown. After graduation from school, he worked with a construction engineering company for 10 years before attending seminary. His first call was in Charleston, before moving to Clearwater where he served at Prince of Peace for 24 years.

Worship Theme: Care for Yourself

Mark’s gospel makes clear how great is the press of the crowd, with its countless needs to be met, on Jesus and his disciples. Yet in today’s gospel Jesus advises his disciples to get away and rest, to take care of themselves. Sometimes we think that when others are in great need we shouldn’t think of ourselves at all; but Jesus also honors the caregivers’ need. We are sent from Christ’s table to care for others and for ourselves.

Sunday School Class this Summer

Children's Sunday School classes are taking a break for the summer months.

Adult Sunday School meets between services in the Fellowship Hall.

See the description of this summer's Adult Sunday School class below...

Sunday School Continuing July 21

Our class began July 7 and is continuing this week.

The theme is Civic Life and Faith .

America is in political turmoil. Extremism, polarization, hateful rhetoric, and partisan fighting by our leadership are dividing the country.

What does God want? As both Christians and citizens, what are we to do?

This class will help each of us to consider responses to these questions. Scripture and an ELCA draft document, Civic Life and Faith, will serve as resources.
