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!

High School Students are invited to attend the Winter Retreat on January 9-11 at Eagle Fern Camp. The brochures are available in Room 305 (High School room upstairs).

Please join us for a 6 week study in the book of Judges studying the life of Gideon. Gideon by Priscilla Shirer reminds each of us that our weakness is God's strength. Gideon's story involves far more than a wet fleece and a battle won with 300 soldiers. His epic victory actually tells of one man's struggle with his own weakness - and the One True God who transformed it into triumph.
The Haiti G.O. Team has been hard at work this past week and has shared daily updates! Check out their stories and pictures at glenwoodcc.org/goteam.
This is the sixth 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, make your check out to Glenwood and designate it Fund 26306/Merger Christmas.
