Hello Glenbrook!
I hope everyone has been managing ok with all the snow and extremely cold weather this week. The snowstorm reminded me of the storms we use to have here decades ago, it really looked like a snow globe out there! We have quite a few announcements below so be sure to scroll all the way down. Please watch yourselves out on the slippery roads and sidewalks and have a great week.

Volunteer Opportunity for the Board of Managers
We are looking for 3 Members at Large to attend our monthly meetings
We meet the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm at the church, except July and August.

Areas include Envelope Secretary, Treasurer/Bookkeeper, Health and Safety, Fire, Security, Insurance and tracking Assets, and Leading with Care.
This role is ideal for someone who is willing to contribute to the committee, share ideas, and support the work of the Board, but not have a specific portfolio to manage.
If you are someone that has a banking background, this would be helpful to our committee, or if you have a background in Fire Safety, this would also be an asset to the Board.

Attend regular meetings once per month
Participate in the discussions
Bring forward ideas or concerns from the perspective of a broader member-at-large stance
Assist with general tasks as needed
Benefits of Joining:
Serving the Lord with your given Spiritual gifts

It is Winter but some Spring cleaning has been done in the church kitchen storage cupboards.
This week there will be a table set up in the coffee area for all of you to take a look at items that we have discovered are not needed. If you recognize something belonging to you please take it home.
