Bible Study with Rob McRay at 7 p.m.
Eternal Fire and a Loving God: What Does the Bible Really Teach about Hell? Join us for a special study of what the Bible says about hell and eternal punishment. In recent decades, a growing number of leading scholars, theologians, and ministers have been rethinking the traditional doctrine of the eternal torment of souls in hell. Will God really torture people for all eternity? Does “the soul of man never die”? How are we to understand what the Bible says about hell in the light of what the Bible says about God’s love and justice? This class will explore what the Bible does and doesn’t teach about the eternal destiny of believers and unbelievers.

We express our deepest sympathies to the family of Bill Burke, who died Tuesday afternoon while in hospice care. Bill was the facilities manager, audio-visual engineer, and long-time member of Glenwood. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. A private, family-only gathering is being planned, and a memorial service will be held at a later date. Please keep Meredith, Rebecca, Daniel and the entire family in your prayers.

James Stanley, a former Glenwood Elder, was hospitalized Sunday night with chest pain. He was scheduled to be released home on Tuesday afternoon. Please pray for James and his family.   

Christian Homes is in urgent need of newborn (“NB”) and Preemie sized diapers. Donations can be dropped off at their Hollytree Drive location Mondays through Thursdays, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and Fridays, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Please call Kay ahead of time so she can come to your car. Her number is (903) 509-0558.

Mark your calendars for a Drive-Through Appreciation, Sunday, July 26, 1:00–2:30 p.m. at the church office portico. Help us honor the family of John and Kim Hodges for their 14 years of dedicated service to Glenwood. Drop a card of blessing, a gift card, and/or a gift in the basket and wave at the Hodges family as you drive by the church office. Continue to pray for the transition as they prepare to move to San Antonio.

The Benevolence Center is currently closed to the public, and as a result, the clothes pantry is closed. Because of this, the Benevolence Center is not accepting any donations at this time. Prepared bags of food are still being offered through the food pantry door each Wednesday from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Karing Kitchen is also offering prepared meals through the door each Monday evening hosted by area churches. A tentative opening date has been set for September 15, 2020, subject to change. 

Kinley Cash, daughter of Jeff and Cheryl Cash, our missionaries in Uganda, is in Tyler for the summer. We encourage you to take this opportunity to get to know Kinley. Invite her over for a visit or for a meal out and let her know how much we love and appreciate the Cash family. She does not have a car, so she will need a ride. Contact Kinley at (432) 232-8506.

Hey folks! We’ve been working hard to compile a list of ways that we can be of help to each other and our community. It has been such a blessing to see some of the ways you all are encouraging each other and sharing helpful resources on social media. We can’t keep up with them all, but if you will give us a heads-up, we’ll be happy to share some of them via Glenwood channels.
