Hello Glenbrook!
A quick mid week "What's New?" before we head into Christmas and the holidays. Please note that there will not be an email this Friday as it is a holiday. I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, however you choose to spend it. Whether it's with many friends and family or a quiet day, the message is always the same.
"May the light of Christ shine brightly in your heart and home this Christmas".
We have Rev. Dr. Victor Shepherd speaking at Glenbrook tonight, December 24th Christmas Eve at 6:30pm and Dec 25th Christmas Day at 11:am. Both services will be online.
Have a wonderful Christmas,
Andrea
GLENBROOK ANNOUNCEMENTS
PRAYER REQUESTS
As was mentioned before, we have updated our email prayer line which is now being handled by Ward and Lois Pipher. A good number of our congregants have volunteered to pray for those who submit a request to the prayer line. Those with prayer requests can use the email address prayer@glenbrook.ca to have their request shared with the prayer team. We have already shared a couple of requests with the group and hope these have been delivered to your email inbox if you are part of the prayer line.
If you are a member of the prayer team and don’t think you have been receiving prayer requests, please check your spam folder, as the request may have been directed there. Please be sure to move the spammed email to your inbox and include the prayer@glenbrook.ca address to your contact list. This should ensure that future emails sent from the prayer line email address will be delivered to your inbox.
CONGREGATIONAL GIVINGS
Thank you for your continued support! To make your offering, please review the various donation options available below.
E-Transfer: Simply send your donation via Interact E-Transfer, to treasurer@glenbrook.ca and please make sure to include in your email your envelope number or mailing address and which fund you want your donation to be allocated to.
Weekly offering Envelopes: Choosing this method involves being assigned a designated weekly envelope number. The weekly offering envelopes will be supplied to you for placing your contribution on the offering plate each Sunday.
P.A.R. (Pre-Authorized Remittance): As an alternative to regular weekly offering envelopes, this is a perfect time to join our PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance) program. In doing so you don’t have to worry about picking up your envelopes or mailing/dropping off cheques. Here is the information you need to know about the PAR program. Under this arrangement, a monthly debit is made by the United Church of Canada on behalf of Glenbrook Presbyterian Church to your account on the 18th of each month. You can allocate funds the same way you do with your regular offering envelopes. You can also make changes, (increasing, decreasing, or cancelling) your pre-authorized amount at any time. If you would like to be part of this plan, please contact the church office. - Please note that a prescribed 2-3% service charge and a $0.50 pre-authorized debit charge will be paid by Glenbrook.
Canada Helps: Donate online through Canada Helps which withdraws your weekly offerings each week with an associate fee of 4.5% that is paid by Glenbrook church.
Blessings,
Selene Naranjo
