There’s always something happening at Glen Mar.
Lent Begins – Wednesday, February 22
We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility – climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever-more-likable social media accounts. We may comb the shelves of the self-help section of libraries or bookstores in search of just the right formula to gain success.

During Lent, We Reflect on the Life of Christ
Part of Jesus’ humanity included experiences of negative emotion, including sadness and loneliness. God never intended for us to be completely self-sufficient. Part of God’s plan is for each of us to turn to others for help when we need it. Consider having a trained Stephen Minister in your life. To find out more, talk to one of the pastors, contact us by
