We had a great first morning at SonHarvest County Fair! Enjoy the video!
News
The road construction on NE 119th Street will impact Glenwood Community Church in the upcoming weeks. Please plan for at least an additional 15 minutes of travel time. From Clark County's project website:
This project [to widen and improve NE 119th Street]... will replace the Curtin Creek culvert under NE 119th Street, about a half mile east of NE 72nd Avenue. This work will require closing NE 119th Street at Curtin Creek to through traffic.
The course is closed this week Monday through Friday morning, 7am to 1:30pm each day for our Vacation Bible Camp.
As Pastor Paul shared on Sunday, June 21, Glenwood is moving from three to two Sunday services beginning July 5th in order to consolidate and strengthen ministry resources. The new service times are 9:00 and 10:45am. During this shift, the church leadership will evaluate service time options for the fall and beyond.
The church office will be closed Friday, July 3rd in observance of the 4th of July holiday.
A reminder of upcoming meeting location and schedule changes for FTF:
Friday, June 26:
Due to the use of all Main Building rooms during VBC week, First Things First (FTF) will move from our regular location (the Library) to the House on Friday, June 26 @ 6am. The House is the brick façade, ranch-style house, 100 yards west of the Main Building.
NOTE: Parking is very limited at the House, so we ask that you park in the Main Building lot and hike across the ‘lawn’ to the House, leaving the House-parking open for those who are older.
Our prayers of love and support are with the following families for the recent loss of loved ones.
The family of Arlene Kielman. Arlene passed away on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. She was a long-time attender of Glenwood, mother of Sandy Fox, Sharon Kielman, and Sue Vail; and grandmother to Debbie Marshall. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, June 16 at 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
We look forward to welcoming 300 VBC campers to SonHarvest County Fair on June 22-26. Our camp is free to all attendees. If you would like to sponsor a camper, please put your donation in the envelope (provided in your bulletin) and place it in the offering. You can also turn in your sponsorship to the church office. The suggested donation is $15.

Welcome to the new glenwoodcc.org! Our hope is to provide information and resources for the people of Glenwood Community Church, those curious about our church body, and those interested in the Jesus of the Bible. A major goal in designing the new site was ease of use on both mobile devices and computers (forty percent of our site visits come from mobile devices). We simplified the menu structure for easier navigation and increased the use of images, recognizing their value in visual communication.
Are you on Facebook? Glenwood is too! On our various Facebook pages you will find encouraging words, helpful information and pictures of current events. This is a great way to stay connected with happenings at Glenwood.
Jean Dorlus is one of Glenwood's global outreach partners in Haiti. We are grateful for his health and recovery.
”I would probably die within a year or so,” Dorlus said. ”I was actually making arrangements to die...”
Things looked bleak, but then Dorlus told his troubles to a friend, who told the story to another friend who happened to be working as a missionary in Haiti from Calvary Church in St. Peters, Missouri.
”It is quite amazing how God brought everything together,” said Pastor Curt Neff.
The February 2015 Haiti G.O. Team had a wonderful trip building relationships (and buildings). Be sure to check out their updates on the Glenwood Facebook page!
