Church meeting scheduled for Sunday September 22, 2019

At the meeting of the Church Council on July 28 a

resolution was passed to form a Communications Committee to

specifically keep our members updated on issues related to our congregation

electing the “Traditional” plan which among other things bans pastors perform-

ing same sex marriages approved at the General Conference held last February

or electing the “One Church” plan that welcomes all persons, regardless of their

sexual orientation, to our church.

On September 22, at noon in the Carlson Fellowship Center we will be

having another meeting to become a “Listening Post” and the District

Superintendent, Jim Powell, has tentatively indicated he will attend as we all

listen to the many issues relating to the plans including the impact this will

likely have to local churches including Glendale. We urge you to attend this

meeting to learn more.

Members of the Communication Committee are Rev. Rich Garner,

Nancy Kachline, Sheldon Haase and Bruce Hinckley. If you have questions or

would like to join this Committee contact one of its members.

THANK YOU FOR CELEBRATING WITH US

Thanks to all who set aside a

Saturday afternoon on July 20, 2019 to

join Diane and I in celebrating our 50th

Wedding Anniversary. We are especially

grateful to Rosa Chou, Vangie Pico, and

Beverly Reynolds for organizing the

event and for all who brought food to

share. The table was well-laden with your

generosity.

We were delighted to greet the

many from the congregation who were

able to attend and to welcome several

from previously-served congregations in

Rancho Cucamonga, California and

Parker, Arizona. The cake and flowers

were and are being much enjoyed. We also appreciated the photographers and would be glad to receive

pictures taken of the event. A warm ‘aloha’ to you all from Hawai’i.
