Erik & Darcie Barman demonstrated how the leftover palms turn into ashes for Ash Wednesday. He uses a mortar and pestle to grind the burnt palms. The bronze equipment was from his great grandfather, Ole, a 19th century Norwegian pastor,

Christmas in July was wonderful!
Our annual Vacation Bible School went off without a hitch. Run by Sue Toscano, Janna Milazzo and Karen McNamara, with pastoral assistance by Pastor Baumgartner and a whole host of young adult and adult volunteers, the children had a very enjoyable day celebrating the birth of Jesus! More pictures in the gallery.
What a wonderful day June 11th was!

Little Buddies Preschool has been woven into the fabric of Greenwood Lake and Grace Lutheran Church. Run by Toni and Karen, this little school became the meeting place for friendships that span decades. Toni and the school continue while mourning Karen's untimely death. This tree will grow and thrive in her honor, just as all the children she loved continue to do.
