South Metro Chorale “Spring Sing” - May 12 at 630p
"Come enjoy some entertaining and uplifting choral music from the South Metro Chorale!
With songs that celebrate our nation's 250th birthday and popular songs from our most recent Cabaret performance,
there is something for everyone! Bring your lawn chair - we will be outside depending on the weather.
The concert is free and open to the public, and families are encouraged to bring young ones."
May 16, 9:00-11:30 am - Considering Glendale as your church home?
If you've been worshiping with us for a while and are thinking about making it official, our next New Member Class is coming up May 16th, 9:00-11:30 am. It's a chance to learn more about who we are and what we believe, and just as importantly, to get to know other folks in the Glendale community alongside you.
You're welcome to attend without committing to join. It's a low-pressure way to gather information, build connections, and discern whether Glendale is the right church home for you. Reach out to Pastor Brenda or the church office with any questions.
We'd love to have you there!
Glendale UMC will be volunteering with The Open Door Food Pantry
Next volunteer opportunity is May 13th at Eagle Ridge Middle School, located at 13955 Glendale Road, Savage, MN. The volunteer hours are from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
We have drivers to deliver food to clients who cannot travel to Eagle Ridge Middle School, and volunteers to help distribute food at the school. For more information, please contact Glendale at 952-894-5394.
Watch our very own community member perform in Unlabeled Theatre Company next presentation:
Once Upon A Mattress - May 14-24, Buy tickets here.
Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing.
Ladies’ Brunch with a purpose - May 16th at 10a
Bring new packaged socks and underwear (kids, ladies, mens) to the Ladies Brunch - we are challenging the Men's Brown Bag group to see who can bring in the most underwear.

Sunday, June 28th - Outdoor Worship & Picnic
Bring a lawn chair and worship with us outside. We will follow this up with a picnic. Come and enjoy the great outdoors!
Month of May Donation Collection - "The Drawer" - The Drawer's mission is to provide Warmth and Dignity through NEW Socks and underwear.
"At The Drawer, we believe that something as simple as a new pair of socks or underwear can provide more than just comfort, it can restore dignity, spark confidence and remind someone that they’re not forgotten and are worthy of respect."
If interested, we can also volunteer at "The Drawer" - let the church office know if anyone is interested and we can pick a date. More information and a video about volunteering here can be found at: https://www.thedrawer.org/bundle-with-us.
