Dear Glen Mar,
I wanted to share with you that our beloved Ron Stevens has passed away following a battle with cancer. His service celebrating his life will be on Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 10 am at Haight Funeral Home on Rt. 32, with burial following at Lakewood Cemetery. Visitation will be on Monday, Oct. 11 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm at the funeral home.
Dear Glen Mar,
One of the first events I went to as your lead pastor was the Bridges for Housing Stability “Hotter Than Thou” Chili Cookoff. It benefits Bridges, a great partner organization that works with Howard County families to ensure they can not only have housing but have it in a sustainable long-term way.
Dear Glen Mar,
I was so pleased to lead our first ELC chapel of the new school year, and it was my joy to share with them that God’s book has a name, The Bible and that in it they would learn all about God’s love for them. We learned about creation, from Genesis, and as we went through the days of creation, after each thing God had made, we acted it out.
Dear Glen Mar,
You may have heard that the Church is the body of Christ and that we are, all of us, members of it. We are all given gifts for Christ to use through the church to build up the church and be a blessing to others. When we are using our gifts, we please the God who gave those gifts to us.
Dear Glen Mar,
It’s Labor Day weekend! It has me thinking about “God at work.”: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.” (Gen. 1:31). I like picturing God in a yellow hardhat, construction plans in hand, with a ruler, a “plumb line” (see the Book of Amos), a pencil behind the Divine Ear. I see a twinkle in God’s eye, and a concentrated look, that feeling of flow, where time stops. I hear God whistling softly, sanding sharp corners and making angles true.
