Paul Behrens Service

October 19, 2021

Dear Glen Mar,
We had taken advantage of the fact that Laity Sunday coincided with RIT’s Parent’s Weekend to go see Lydia this weekend, are driving home today from there. I’m eager to get back to MD to be with you all. As one of your pastors, it feels wrong to be away from our church family when things happen. I’m gratified and humbled by the powerful worship and care you all showed for one another, and for Pastor Melaina’s leadership at a time when I wanted deeply to be there “in person” with you.
I wanted to let you all know that we will be having a visitation for Paul Behrens at Glen Mar on Friday evening, 10/22, from 6-8 pm and the service on Saturday 10/23 at 11, with visitation beforehand from 9:30-11 am. There will be no food afterwards so that people may remain masked and COVID safe.

Remembering Saints

Pastor's Ponderings

All Saint's Day, remembrance, saints, worship

Dear Friends,
As I was driving into Glen Mar this morning, I could hear, “Oh when the saints, go marching in, oh when the saints go marching in, oh how I want to be in that number, oh when the saints go marching in—go marching in” singing loudly in my head. I remembered as a child really punching in that last line, “go marching in.” At that point in my life, I did not really understand All Saints’ Day, but I knew my goal was to be a saint because I wanted to be “in that number.” It is still my goal: to be a part of the great crowd of witnesses. I think we all share that goal: to hear “well done my good and faithful servant.”
