In Our Prayers

  • Our deepest condolences to the family of Melodye Phillips whose father, Wayne Cure, passed away September 8.
  • We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Lorene Colburn. Lorene passed away Saturday, September 7. There will be a graveside service at Rose Hill Cemetery at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, September 11.
  • James Stoner, teacher and case manager at Triumph Village, asks that our church pray for him.  He has had undiagnosed health issues for several months. He recently received definitive results from extensive testing and is positive for black mold toxicity.   He has great faith that God will heal him, but asks that everyone join him in making that request of God. 
  • Please pray for Vic Akers who is recovering from recent nasal surgery. 
  • The Matus Family has requested we be prayerful for the Heuer Family. Their 7-year-old daughter, Kinslee, has a brain tumor and they are trying to find a surgeon willing to take on the risky surgery. Please keep the family in your prayers as they go through this difficult time. Specifically, they have asked us to please pray for Kinslee’s comfort, some peace of mind, all things peace and comfort for her little mind. 
  • Paula Clark has asked for prayer for Robert, in prison, with drug issues. He has a parole hearing next month.

We want to be prayerful for and with you. Please click below to submit any prayer requests to our leadership and prayer team.

Worship Highlight

This Sunday, we’ll learn a powerful new song based on the words of Jesus called “The Jesus Way.” Prayerfully listen and learn as we prepare to gather to join together in worshipping…and as we seek to follow The Jesus Way in community with one another.

MealTrain for Glenwood Youth Ministry

Wednesday night is an important part of our youth and student ministry. Each week they gather together for a meal in the Cove before class, and we need your help in feeding this growing group!

Volunteers for the Downtown Gathering

The Downtown Gathering is in need of 3–4 volunteers for 1st, 3rd, and 4th Sundays. We have some new faces and are seeing an increase in attendance, so a little more help means we can serve these brothers and sisters more effectively! Contact Bob Markwood (or the Church Office) to help!

We need your help!

Sunday Morning Bible Class

The first 11 chapters of the Bible are intricately woven together to tell a story of a creation that both needs its Creator, and refuses to obey its Creator. Join us on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. as we study the God who blesses His creation with goodness.

Pick Up and Drop Off for Kingdom Kids

For the safety of our children, its crucial to remember that we have a very important protocol which we must follow for dropping off and picking up kids for children’s worship. With the craziness of COVID, and the slow resumption of “normal” activities, we want to refresh everyone on this important procedure:

  • Children will be released from worship prior to the sermon. 
  • Parents must escort children to Children’s Worship and pick them up during the last song of the service. 
  • Please note that children will not be released to individuals other than parents/legal guardians or parent-appointed adults.
