Goal Has Been Met!
Thank you for the support many have given to create accounts with Lutheran Church Extension Fund. We have met the first threshold for discounts to our mortgage rate. This will lock in our reduced rate for the next four years ( 5% down to 4.75%) saving over $8,000 in interest. Thanks to additional contributions specified for principal reduction we have also saved much more in interest cost -- over $42,000 -- AND reduced the term of our loan by a whole year. Monthly updates on loan progress will continue to be posted.
Courtyard Progress
   At a December Voters' meeting, our members voted to move ahead and develop our courtyard area on the Sappington side of our church.
   We have already garnered more than half the building and development cost:
  • We have member bequests totaling ------------------------- $52,795.
  • Your Leadership Council and Elders have pledged ------- $36,500.
  • One-third of our 75th Anniversary fund contributes ------ $ 3,400.
  • Recent member contributions add another----------------- $ 4,000.
                                                    Giving us a current total of -- $96,695.
   On the table at the rear of the church, you'll find a display of pledge progress, along with a box to drop your completed pledge cards.
   We will be accepting pledge cards through January because the contractor is ready to begin work this winter for planned completion in the spring.
   Please prayerfully consider your pledge to this project - and make Glendale Lutheran Church more visible and welcoming to anyone traveling along Sappington Road.
Used Vehicle Needed
A college-age GLC member is looking to purchase a used car or truck to use for long drives next year to Nebraska. Please contact Pastor Scott with any leads. Thank you!
New Flower Chart
The 2019 Flower Chart is up by the office! Please stop by and reserve a Sunday or two or three. Thank you!
