Faith Formation Ministry                   
One Family Bible Class

Seminarian Nate McCarty will be leading the Adult Bible Class series, which will meet at the usual time.
  
Stewardship Sentence
Matt. 6:25, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life." God is in charge. God is our loving Father. Put those two statements together and they spell the end of worry and anxiety. Yes, we will have crosses to bear. Yes, we will have difficulties. But through it all, our loving heavenly Father is in charge and He will carry us through. It is that simple faith, the faith of a child, that frees us from worry. And in the absence of worry, faith can step forward in bold action - and into the kind of generosity that can only operate in an atmosphere of trust.
Women's Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Please join our Women's Tuesday morning Bible Study as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit using the study guide "Living Beyond Yourself!" Whether you are new to Bible study or been at it for years we'd enjoy having you join us for fellowship, sharing and support. We'll start meet Tuesday, September 13 at 9:15am. Please contact Carol Froesel (822-1365) or Jeanne Clark (821-0522) if you are interested or have questions.

Thursday Evening Women's Bible Study
The Thursday evening women's Bible study will begin again on September 8 at 7:00pm. Usually we have met on the first and third Thursdays of the month; because of the Labor Day weekend approaching, we will have out study for this month on September 8 and 22. We will finish our study of I John during the next few months. We begin on Chapter 6 with the focus on I John 3: 11-24. A rich lesson on the standard that Christ places on love. If you are interested in joining in this Bible study, please let us know--a book will be ordered for you! All are warmly welcome. Please contact Cathie Albers (314-882-2033)  Join us at the church!

What Happens at Glendale During Pastor Wise's Treatment and Recovery Time?

logo 1
August 31, 2016
Your Leadership Council and Elders want the congregation to know that we have been in constant communication with Pastor Wise regarding his condition and necessary treatment. The reason for this update is that Pastor is about to begin a treatment schedule that will be very challenging over the next 4 to 6 months - and we want him to devote all his energy to getting well. Therefore, he will begin a leave of absence from our ministry as quickly as possible.
  
Our Circuit Counselor, Pastor Darrell Zimmerman, has also been talking with Pastor Wise and the Elders to put a plan in place for immediate back-up ministry.  This includes both the weekend worship activities and day-to-day ministry needs. Pastor Zimmerman is also working with the Elders to identify and meet with candidates who can lead our ministry over the next several months. Details continue to be worked out and will be communicated over the next several weeks.  
  
Pastor Zimmerman will preach this Saturday and Sunday. Seminarian Tony Fields will preach the following weekend, September 10 and 11. For the next two Sundays, Seminarian Nate McCarty will continue to facilitate the Adult Study series that Pastor Wise has been leading. Beginning in late September, Seminary Field Workers will take a lead role in confirmation education. Needs for pastoral care should be directed to Pastor Zimmerman at 314.580.4608.
  
Questions about ministry programs or day-to-day activities can be directed to the Church Office. Michelle will coordinate communication with the Elders, Pastor Zimmerman and others as appropriate.
  
Please keep Pastor Wise, his family and his caregivers in your prayers.
  
Yours in Christ,
  
GLC Leadership Council and Elders
