Please stay after worship service to join us in the fellowship hall for an exciting moment in our church’s journey.

This is also a joyful celebration of our identity! We’ll be taking a community photo together in front of the pride flag to commemorate our decision from earlier this summer and for our Reconciling Ministries page. This photo will be an important part of sharing our welcoming spirit with the broader community. You may want to wear your favorite pride clothes!

Your presence matters as we come together to celebrate this pivotal moment and set our goals for the future. This foundational work is essential to who we are becoming, and we want every voice to be part of it!

Come ready to celebrate, connect, and be part of something meaningful.

Sunday Worship Volunteers are needed every Sunday.

Explore the volunteer opportunities below and find the role that suits you best.

GREETER
Since Glendale focuses on loving God and others, we aim to have a welcoming presence as people arrive for service. Ensure they check their name on the "Our Welcome Sheet,"show them the bathrooms, point out the sign with the Wi-Fi password, and hold an umbrella for those arriving in the rain. A wheelchair is available in the hallway by the bathrooms for anyone needing assistance.

USHER
Sign up to assist with worship logistics here. Ensure attendees have their bulletins and hymnals if desired. Offer our kids' bags and invite guests to leave their contact
information for a fuller welcome later in the week. During the service, bring prayer requests to the pastor and place the offering on the altar as the church prays over the gifts. Finally, record the head count in the binder by the bulletins.

ACOLYTE

Light the candles on the altar before the service and extinguish them at the end.

TECH TEAM

Are you a PowerPoint enthusiast ready to help others follow along in worship? Or would you like to operate the live-stream and camera (there's a joystick involved)? Sign up here. If you're interested but need training, email us at glendalechurch@msn.com, and we'll connect you with an experienced team member.

LITURGIST

Are you passionate about bringing scripture to life? Sign up to read during worship! We'll send you the passage the Thursday or Friday before your Sunday, so you have time to practice those tricky names with confidence. Feel free to read in another language if you'd like!
