Dear Glen Mar friends,
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I am getting so excited about two of my favorite things – turkey and Giving Tuesday!
Turkey because it makes the house smell like “home and family” and Giving Tuesday because it is a global movement to encourage people to do good!
Dear Glen Mar friends,
On behalf of your pastors and staff, I want to thank everyone for their expressions of love for October’s Clergy (and Staff) Appreciation Month. It is our joy to be in ministry with each of you and we are so grateful God has brought our lives together!
Dear Glen Mar friends,
As votes are being counted in some important races around the country, and as Veteran’s Day approaches, I give thanks for the ways that the Church models the servant leadership of Christ, in public and private ways. My prayer, as a citizen of a country that looks divided at times, is that we can model unity in diversity.
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.”
