Hello Glenbrook,
As many of you have noticed, we have had some issues with the “What’s New “newsletter reaching everyone. As we navigate our way to get these issues resolved let me remind everyone that if for any reason you don’t receive the newsletter by Friday afternoon you can always hop over to the Glenbrook website which will have all the info posted. Until then please bear with us until we find a solution and apologies for any inconveniences. Please note as well that the web version of “What’s New” does not contain detailed personal information as access to the web version is open to the public. We have a lot of new messages below so please scroll all the way down!
We have some special guests joining us for Sunday Services. This Sunday, Sept 7th and next Sunday, September 14th, Victor Shepherd will be bringing the message.
Have a great weekend
-Andrea
