During Lent, We Reflect on the Passion of Christ
Part of his humanity included experiences of negative emotion, including sadness and loneliness. God never intended 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 email or call the Pastor’s Assistant at Glen Mar Church.

Dancing Needles – next meeting, Thursday, April 13 at 1:00 pm
Do you enjoy knitting and crocheting or would you like to learn? We need you in our prayer shawl group. Prayer shawls are given to those in hospital and those in need of special care as a reminder that others care and are praying for them. The group is also making baby blankets for our newborns and scarves for our armed forces. We usually meet the second Thursday of every month at 1:00 pm in Room 144 to knit, crochet, and share together. If you wish you can knit or crochet at home and we can arrange to have your finished items picked up or dropped off at church. Donations of yarn are always welcome.
