Justa Center is a day resource center in Phoenix specifically designed to help those over the age of 55 find appropriate housing, employment, and other needed services.  The Jasta Center relies solely on private donations and gifts.  Gloria Dei members generously donated many cases of water and other needed items along with monetary donations.

Welcoming & Accepting:  We strive to welcome all, meeting people where they are, respectfully embracing both the differences and the gifts that come with living into a community of faith.

Christ Centered & Grace Filled:  Our life together, as well as our outreach, comes from a Lutheran accent centered in God's unconditional love and grace, as well as, the example of Jesus Christ.

Externally Focused & Internally Supportive:  We commit to use our individual gifts to serve and support one another, the church and our community (locally, nationally and globally).

Socially Conscious & Compassionate:  We strive to remain aware of the world around us and to respond with openness and compassion.

Responsible & Accountable:  We seek to grow in discipleship and faithful response to the needs of each other and the community we serve by being accountable and transparent in our actions.

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.  Psalm 143:8 (New Living Translation)

Come join Pastor Brent every Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Conference Room as we continue through the summer exploring the scripture readings from the previous Sunday.  We will use the Daily Discipleship resources from the ELCA website that are designed to enhance our understanding of the Word and deepen our spirituality.  Coffee, questions and conversation about the Bible - what could be a better way to spend a summer morning? Oh yeah, donuts!
