| | Pastor Scott's Message  God calls us to worship him through all of our comings and goings. Lutherans understand worship to be not just corporate worship services on Sundays but also the rest of daily life. You worship God by being a safe driver, calling someone who is lonely and making dinner for your family. I'm going to add another one to the list: getting your picture done for the Glendale Lutheran church pictorial directory. Starting this Sunday and continuing through December, the Fellowship room is set up for your photo to be taken. You don't have to be dressed fancy. Come as you are on a Sunday morning. The important thing is that we get everyone. Pictorial directories are great ways connect names with faces. Our face and name are important to us. The Lord knows us by name and face and so should we. Everyone God sends us is precious and should be treated as such. Getting your picture taken for the directory is kind of like singing in church. Everyone loves hearing lots of voices in church but not everyone likes to sing. You owe it to your fellow worshippers to make a joyful noise so they are encouraged, even if you do not like the sound of your voice. You may not like getting your picture taken but others enjoy seeing your face and learning your name. It also is a wonderful tool for new members. Thank you for serving the Lord by getting your picture taken for the directory.

Happy Birthday to Shelley Albers! This Sunday, November 26, is Shelley's birthday, and she's brought enough cake for everyone! Be sure to stop by the Fellowship Room after the service, pick up a piece of birthday cake, and wish Shelley all the best!

Angel Tree - Gifts for the Children of Seminarians The Angel Tree in the church is decorated with Angel ornaments with the names of children of seminarians. Please select an ornament, if you wish to participate, and purchase a gift for the child whose name is on the ornament. Wrap the gift and place it under the tree by Sunday, December 10. The gifts will be delivered to the children on Monday, December 11. Any questions, contact Mary Skouby. Thank you! |
LFCS Season of Sharing Glendale Lutheran Church will once again participate in Lutheran Family and Children's Services of Missouri's Season of Sharing mission, which provides area foster children with Christmas gifts. There will be a table set up near the Church entrance with a box for gift cards or cash donations. Gift cards in the $10 to $50 range for Walmart, Target, or Amazon.com are preferred. Donations need to be made by December 2, 2017, to provide LFCS staff time to shop and distribute gifts before Christmas. Additional information regarding the ministry and families being served can be found next to the gift card/cash donation box.

Glendale Internet Broadcast Update and Appeal for Help As you know, we have been broadcasting our worship services on our website for quite a few years. Just in the last few years, however, we have eliminated any advertising that beforehand would interrupt these broadcasts. Since then, we are receiving significantly more "views" on a weekly basis. Quite often we will have 4 or 5 individuals logged on during the service and will receive from 6 to 15 more views during the following week. An exception: we had 47 individual views for Pastor Scott's installation service. To expand this outreach tool, we began this year to also broadcast our Sunday Bible classes using the same technology. A camera has been installed in the Family Life Center and we are receiving 20 to 30 views a week! What a blessing this has been to those not able to be physically present. Here is where the appeal for help comes in. As we have volunteers who help with our worship service broadcasts, we need volunteers willing to engage this technology during the Bible class hour. Volunteer activity mostly involves turning the computer and camera on before the class and turning them off after the class (a much simpler operation than managing multiple cameras in the sanctuary.) Please consider supporting this broadcast effort. You may indicate your willingness by contacting Michelle in the church office. A brief orientation to the technology on a Sunday morning will follow. |
| Join Glendale's Publicity/Communications Team ???? Your Leadership Council is now forming a three-person team to plan and implement our internal and external publicity and communications. Team members will work with Pastor Scott to create and coordinate publicity, both internal to us and external to others such as local newspapers and media, for our special events, projects, and happenings. The team will also engage our already well-planned website so it becomes more active. Interested in being a part of this team? Let Pastor Scott or a Leadership Council member know.

Save the Date Saturday, December 2, we will be decorating our sanctuary for the coming Christmas celebration. We will gather at 8:30am. If the past is any predictor, we should be done before noon. Many hands make the task go quickly and with an increase in joy. Plan to come and help. |
New Pictorial Directory Coming! With our churches 75th anniversary fast approaching it is our goal to acquire every member's picture in our new directory. Frank Moret has graciously volunteered to take photos before and after service beginning Sunday, November 11th and continuing through the month of December. In addition you'll find a flyer in your mailbox this Sunday - please take a moment to update the information you want reflected in the directory and drop in the basket provided by the mailboxes. |
