Retreats |

The membership at Glendale Road will have the opportunity throughout each year to participate in various retreats. Each year, the ladies of the congregation have a great turnout for the annual "Ladies' Retreat." The men will have opportunities as well. Our hope through these retreats is to strengthen our congregation by strengthening one another.

New Members, Bibles, Visitation, Pictures |

The New Members' Program is designed so that each new member is welcomed, encouraged and educated about our family. This activity will assist all members in knowing about the specific work of the church and about newcomers to the congregation.

Each new member is given a Bible and also asked to participate in a three-week New Member Orientation Class so that all new members can become acquainted with programs, officers and functions of the Glendale Road congregation.

Programs Booklet and Directory |
Jim Nix - Elder |
-
Through Promotion and Growth, the church prepares a Programs Booklet for each member. The Programs Booklet is designed to keep each member informed about planned programs and operations of the church. Some church programs are budgeted and some are unbudgeted. The summary budget is provided in the booklet. Programs are described and contact persons are provided. In addition, contact information is provided for all members to encourage communication and participation. A pictorial directory will be produced and distributed every four years. Directory supplements are prepared each year to update the membership. Our next complete new directory is scheduled for 2009.
