Hello Glenbrook!
Another quick midweek ...What's New? The Friday edition will return on Friday January 9th. I hope everyone had a really lovely Christmas, mine was very quiet at home with my family which was great. In the blink of an eye we are on the eve of 2026, many people within the Glenbrook family have had a difficult and challenging year and so we send our prayers out to them and we hope that the coming year is lighter and brings more hope and unity for everyone. With that, have a lovely and safe New Year's Eve and see you all next year!
Philippians 4:8b – …fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.

GLENBROOK ANNOUNCEMENTS
AGM - MARCH 1st
Please mark your calendars for the AGM on Sunday March 1st after the service. There will be a light lunch followed by the meeting. Reports are due to the office by February 15th.
Thank you!
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 have not received any prayer requests in the past couple of days, 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
