Church Happenings - Week of 8/19/25
Sunday Morning Prayer Team
"Make Me A Channel of Your Peace"
Join us every Sunday from 9:15-9:30 AM in the sanctuary for prayer before worship. Together, we'll pray for our world, our nation, our community, and each other. In times like these, prayer matters—and praying together matters even more.

We are celebrating Glendale UMC's 40th Anniversary!
You are invited to help us celebrate the 40th anniversary of Glendale United Methodist Church with your time, talents, and treasures!
We hope you will spend some time each Sunday in September with us. Each Sunday you will have an opportunity to embrace your talents through a whole host of activities. You will also be blessed, in person or through video, by our past pastors.
We start the month with Bishop Lanette delivering a sermon on SEEDS OF FAITH as well as helping with the blessing of students and teachers. Pastor Brenda will share message of ROOTS & GROWTH as well as WEATHERING SEASONS. We conclude the month with Conference Superintendent WooJae’s words about the church being a HARVEST OF BLESSINGS.
Throughout the month of September, we are accepting donations from your treasures in ANY amount but believe $40, $400 or $4000 would be a fantastic way to bless Glendale’s ongoing ministries. Checks can be made out to Glendale United Methodist Church indicating 40th Anniversary in memo line.
