This is the fourth year that Glenwood has funded a party for the students of CENV in Merger, Haiti. Each child is given a small gift; in addition there are games and singing. Parents are invited, and everyone receives a hot meal. If you would like to contribute, please make your check out to Glenwood and designate it for the Merger Christmas Fund. You can send your sponsored child a Christmas card. Please allow two or three weeks for it to get to the school.

Would you like to help make sandwiches and travel to areas in Portland to distribute them along with hats and gloves to those in need?  If so, bring your turkey (or other meat) leftovers to the church the day after Thanksgiving (Friday, November 23) at 10:00 a.m. in the kitchen.

Each year in the first half of November, there is the “International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.”  This Sunday morning we are praying for those brothers and sisters in Christ who are persecuted because of their faith in the Jesus of the Bible.

Daylight Saving Time ends next Sunday, November 4, 2012. Remember to set your clocks back one hour next Saturday night.

Pastor Paul talked about a few resources during his Oct 21 sermon, Messaging the Gospel, that do a good job of encapsulating the Gospel and provide great discussion points in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others.  Please see the links below:
