Mark your calendars for our Annual Spring Clean-Up Day on Saturday, May 2, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM! 

This cherished tradition brings our church family together to refresh and renew our beautiful church home.

We truly mean it when we say there’s a meaningful task for everyone:

• Garden enthusiasts can help with planting and weeding

• Kids are needed to help pick up the sticks in the back of the church.

• Indoor helpers can tackle organizing and dusting

• Skilled hands can assist with minor repairs

• Those who prefer seated tasks can help with sorting or other tasks

Come for an hour or stay the whole morning—every contribution matters!  Refreshments will be provided to keep our volunteers energized. This is not just about cleaning; it’s about fellowship and stewarding the blessed space where we gather to worship. Please bring work gloves if you have them. Cleaning supplies and tools will be provided, along with guidance for all tasks.

Sunday Funday - Young people 6th grade and up.

Activity: Bonfire Night, Yard games,

Meal: Burger Bar & Smores

 For women of all ages.

For more information on how you can help out, please contact Glendale Church at 952-894-5394.

Wednesdays, February 18 - March 25  

Join us Wednesday evenings for a simple meal together (5:30-6:00 pm) followed by a 30-minute Lenten Study for teens and up while the Thrive kids (Preschool-5th grade) have lessons on Holy Week and Easter.  For the Lenten Study, we'll be following the study from our Bishop and District Superintendents: "To Be Made Well: Healing Stories in the Gospels".

SERMON SERIES

Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

The crucifixion of Jesus stands at the heart of the Christian faith, yet it raises questions that many of us carry quietly: Why did Jesus have to die? Did God need for Jesus to suffer? How does his death so long ago have anything to do with our lives today? If you’ve ever wondered about these things, or simply said “I believe, I just don’t fully understand it,” join us as we explore these questions together through the season of Lent.

Each week, we’ll explore a different understanding of the crucifixion through our sermon series “Love Does” alongside Adam Hamilton’s book on the atonement.

• March 1 — “Love Promises” — Passover, Covenant and Redemption (Holy Communion)

• March 8 — “Love Offers” — Penal Substitution or Selfless Offering

• March 15 — “Love Surrenders” — Selfishness or Selflessness

• March 22 — “Love Stays” — The Crucifixion and God’s Love

Please email a copy of your baby picture to glendalechuch@msn.com. We will have a fun time to guess who-is-who. 

 For women of all ages.
