Dear Glen Mar friends,
As we prepare for July 4, I am in prayer for our nation and our leaders, and for all of us, as we ponder our nation’s complicated and tumultuous history and our hope for the future. We are in many ways divided as a nation, but this is hardly a new condition for any student of American history.

Dear Glen Mar friends, Reports from the Mission Team in Plymouth this week are that it is warm but all is well and everyone is having a great time doing great work! Keep those prayers coming!

Dear Glen Mar friends,
This Sunday, we will be CELEBRATING our Commitment Sunday—the ways God is calling all of us to GROW as disciples of Jesus, including and especially in our giving.

Because of your giving, we can have an Early Learning Center, pay our pastors and staff, and do every act of service and mission that we do at Glen Mar. Because of your giving, we can bless literally thousands of people each year, in Jesus’ name.
