We will continue to offer the virtual gatherings, and we want to urge those who are at risk, and any who feel it is best for their families, to stay home and join us online. We look forward to gathering soon with those who feel safe to join us (remember, we will be wearing masks and practicing social distance).

A Note of Thanks

Dear Glenwood,
 
A mere thank you doesn’t seem like enough as I think about what you have meant to my family during these last seven months as I recovered from the accident. We’re so grateful and thankful for the prayers lifted up for Sammy and me, and for all the support you gave to Juan. Thank you for being Jesus to us. We love you,
 
Charlie Jo, Juan, and Samuel

Come Paint with Us!

Every lady resembles a beautiful flower. Our lives are filled with constant growth. More often than not, our favorite moments are the days when we have blooms of wonderful memories. However, we must not forget that it is the constant care and love we give to our life that leads to the blossoming moments.

We would like to welcome you all to share in the floral beauty of all our lives with flower pottery painting on Saturday, June 5, 2021 from 2:30-4:30 pm. The class will be lead by Alie Randall and will take place in the youth classroom in the gym. Click here to register.

Please bring your own choice of terra cotta flower pot and we will provide painting supplies. Also, don’t forget to dress accordingly!

We are asking attendees who are able and willing, to bring a finger food or snack option to share with everyone and BYOD (bring your own drink). 

We’re so excited to share a lovely day with you all!
