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).

Glenwood Church of Christ Covid-19 Task Force members work collaboratively to keep all members and visitors safe from COVID while in the building or on the property.

We continue to work through the Book of Revelation during our Sunday worship gathering. As we do, we see how so many songs, and ideas found in the songs we sing, are based on these incredible texts.
