I am pleased to announce a new Sunday morning equipping opportunity for high school students that will take place this fall. Up until this point, the high school ministry has offered one Sunday school class at 9:30, which has provided an environment for students to connect with one another and study God’s Word together.
The Glenwood church family is invited to the King’s Kruz-In car show and outreach on Saturday, August 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Now in its twelfth year, the King’s Kruz-In has grown to be one of the largest car shows in the Portland/Vancouver area.

Dear Friends,
The amazing DEO Ethiopian missionary team flew home to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia this week, bringing to a conclusion this first chapter of joyful evangelistic outreach into the Doro Refugee Camp. What a wonderful two months of the sort of ‘great and mighty things’ Jeremiah (33:3) spoke about! Thousands heard the Gospel, many more received Scripture portions, and at last report this village-to-village effort among the refugees brought more than 2,400 individuals into a new relationship with their Creator and Savior.
Mason and Lauren have committed to full time service in Haiti with Crossworld, and we are glad to send them. As they raise support, they are connecting with folks to share their story of God’s work in Port-au-Prince and Merger. Please stop by their table in the Foyer on February 10 and 17 to meet and talk with them.
The PDFs above are resources for both men who attended the conference or were unable to attend. If you would like a CD set of the conference (4 CDs total, music included), please click the link below and fill out the short form.
Every year the High School Ministry assembles a team of students and staff to minister to people both near and far.

Dear Friends and Family,
Nancy is back in Kenya with the RVA boys, who are now out of school. I haven’t had time to keep up with the daily blessings of our evangelist team, but yesterday I stopped over to talk through some issues. They are a great bunch, and I wish we could keep them!
