Thank you for giving Pastor Eric & Pastora Lisa a season to relax, refresh and reconnect with our family! Looking forward to bringing the message this Sunday and see you at Wednesday Bible Study!

Please note, we are postponing the outdoor services until further notice. So plan to meet inside in the Main Sanctuary @ 10:30 am!

We have great news! Glad Tidings Church will be hosting a Life Line Screening event on 09/06/2025.

We made a good start on "Lighten the Load" and there is much more to go!

The Council will be planning the next event - which may be a Rummage or Garage Sale.

Do you have items that you would like to sell - and maybe give some proceeds back to the church to help with our projects?

Projects include:

1. Cut down the Cottonwood trees in the front lawn <-- all that remains is the "cleanup" and lawn reseeding, etc.!
2. See Keith Greenup if you would like to help rake, water or seed the lawn.
3. Clean up the left-over debris from Black Walnut and Cottonwood trees <-- now in the South-East area of our "woods"
4. Recharge / fix leaks in the HVAC system <-- recharged system, thank you Tom Ellis HVAC Technician for getting this working again!
5. Reseal and stripe the parking lot and driveway <-- scheduling for late September / first week of October
6. Roll-off for "Lighten the Load" items that don't sell at our Garage Sale
7. Equipment for TBD Outreach (Tent, Hot Dogs and fixings, etc)
8. Repairs to the Church's Street Sign <-- Juan and Morris making good progress, "Let there be light!"
9. Repair the outdoor water spigot <-- DONE!

Please prayerfully consider adding a bit more to your regular giving so these projects can be done quickly and without exhausting our reserves. Current total projects estimate is $19,000 - $22,000 to complete.

And remember to pray for one another - if you have not seen someone at church in a while, pray for them, give them a call or text - you may be the one God uses to encourage a brother or sister in Christ.
