According to our church constitution, the nominating committee’s responsibility is to present church board nominees for Glenwood member vote at the Annual Meeting. Looking at 1 Timothy 3:1-13, a nominee should demonstrate spiritual maturity, manage his household well, manifest a servant’s heart, and endeavor to live his life above reproach.

On January 28 we are having a special congregational meeting in the Worship Center immediately following the second service. The church board is recommending that we change the job title for Nathan Nymeyer from Director to Pastor. This does not change his present ministry focus, but does place him on the board of elders. According to our church constitution, this recommendation requires a congregational vote. If you are a voting member of Glenwood, please reserve time for this meeting in your schedule. Your presence is very important!

This class is built so that if you miss a week, it’s okay to jump back in the following week.
