| | Pastor Scott's Message This week I wrote a letter of introduction to the CCLS preschool families. It said: I'm Pastor Scott, the new pastor at Glendale Lutheran. You've probably seen me around, visiting classrooms or greeting people at the door. I'm excited to be a part of your preschool. My job is to make sure that the church blesses your family. You may have another church or you may not have one, but I want to offer my help. If you or anyone you love needs a pastor, let me know. If you are going through a crises or just need someone to listen, I'm here Monday through Thursday. My office is past the church office and left after the stairwell. I have a Masters in Family Ministry which means I may not have all the answers, but I can point you in the right direction. Throughout the year our Glendale Church Preschool team is planning events for you including a Thanksgiving gift bag, hosting the CCLS Christmas program, a birthday bag service project and an end of the year breakfast. We pray it's a great year for you! Sincerely, Pastor Scott If that goes for our CCLS families, it certainly goes for you. You are my most important priority as pastor at Glendale. If you are in the hospital, let me know. If someone you love is sick or dying, please tell me. If I can offer any spiritual counsel to your situation, I am here for you. God sent me here so that you have a person you can count on to give you Jesus. If you need Him, I'm ready. |
| Tables of Eight Our "Tables of Eight" will begin in October. A sign-up sheet has been posted on the kiosk; please list your name (and number of participants, 1-2), your phone number, and email if you have one. This time around, I will be putting together groups of six, leaving room for Pastor Scott and Ann to join you, if and when they can. We realize it may not be possible for them to dine with each group every month, but this will at least give them an opportunity to know us further and vice versa. This also means we will only meet three times in any given month, giving a little more leeway in your planning. Remember that by signing up your are committing to hosting one supper a month, but have your choice or entertaining in your home, at a restaurant (dutch), or even using the church as your dining room. Be unique to yourself--paper plates to fine dining, we enjoy all of it just by having a family get-together. Hope to see all of your names on the list. Carol Froesel |
| Potluck It's that time again, time to meet and eat! Our first potluck of the season will be Wednesday, October 18. We will gather at 6:00pm for fellowship and begin dining about 6:30pm. Hope to see a lot of you there!
