Gloria Christi Federated Church, located at 3535 E. Lincoln Dr. in Paradise Valley, will open its doors one final time on November 20, 21, and 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day, to share its ministry resources with other congregations. As the church has sadly closed its doors, all items—including office supplies, chairs, bookcases, file cabinets, banners, altar paraments, tables, Sunday School crafts, and even an organ—must find new homes.
This open house is an opportunity for congregations in need of these resources to collect valuable ministry supplies. Visitors should bring their own boxes, bags, or totes to transport items. Cash donations will be accepted to support the final expenses of the church.
In our Lutheran tradition, resources that have served one congregation faithfully can find new life and purpose within another, embodying stewardship and the continuity of ministry. This open house is a meaningful way to ensure that items from Gloria Christi continue to support ministry across our synod.
Please share this opportunity with church leaders and members who might be interested in acquiring supplies for their ministries. Whether you’re seeking practical items or cherished church furnishings, this event allows each congregation to continue the work and mission of Gloria Christi in new ways.
