This Just In

There’s always something happening at Glen Mar.

  • August Family Worship: Re-Shaped – It’s nearly time for August Family Worship! This year, we will learn how change is an important part of our growth and transformation; we are being shaped and re-shaped again and again.  Please sign your family up to be worship leaders.
