GULL HARBOR LUTHERAN CHURCH…read more Gull Harbor Lutheran is located past Priest Point Park and is home to a very friendly congregation. Pastor Suzanne Appelo is very welcoming. She does a great time involving the children during service. Her sermons are to the point, interesting and often humorous. Communion is every other week. The church bakes its own gluten-free communion bread (I heard there are quite a few attendees who cannot have gluten) and offers juice in addition to communion wine. Visitors are chatted up by members and are always invited to the coffee hour after the service is over. Conversation usually consists of long time members introducing themselves and welcoming you to the church. Everyone I had the chance to talk to were very nice. I should mention this is one of the best coffee hours I have ever been to. It is obvious many people at Gull Harbor Lutheran love to bake! Everything I tried was delicious. One of the men bragged that the apple pie he brought was made from the apples grown in his yard. Weddings: Pastor Appelo performs weddings at the church and offsite. She welcomes all couples. Events: Sausage Fest in October. I've been going for 10 years and it's amazing! You can buy the leftover sausages by the bag the following Sunday at a discount. All proceeds go to SafePlace, the Thurston County Food Bank, and Lutheran World Relief. GHLC has a pay-what-you-can garage sale in the summer. One time I bought a whole box of cookbooks for five dollars! There is almost always a good selection of kitchen items and ladies' clothing. I can usually find nice kids items there as well. The money raised helps to fund their Vacation Bible School. VBS is free to the public. Vacation Bible School in the summer. My daughter went with her cousin last year. They had a great time. VBS was free. The VBS instructors included parent volunteers, younger congregant volunteers, and the pastor. My mother helped out a bit too. I have a good time at this church. I'll be back.
