serving on the Finance & Stewardship Committee as treasurer please

contact one of the committee members.

The committee members are working on the Stewardship Campaign

for this year. More information will be provided in the near future on

Christian Education

Sunday School Resumes

Where did our summer go We are sure all of our children are asking the

same question. Back to our routines—which

includes: Sunday School Classes resuming on

September 16th at 9:15 a.m.

First, we would like to thank Tim and Jan Dinterman for hosting our

annual Care-Giving and Prayer Shawl picnic on August 21st. We

had a wonderful time and delicious food.

Although the members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry have not met on

a regular basis, they have been busy making the lovely shawls and

blankets that have been presented to our loved ones this year. We

have almost depleted our inventory of yarn. If you would like to donate

yarn or money towards yarn to help us replenish our inventory of

blankets and shawls, please contact Connie Rough. Thanks

Care Givers

Glade Guild

The Guild needs your garden’s extra red,

green and yellow bell peppers to freeze for

the pepper slaw for our November 2nd &

3rd church dinners. We could also use pint

and quart size jars for the dinners.

September---Children and teens are heading back to school! Most of us

are beyond that age bracket. But, no matter what your age, you're never

too old to learn. And you're not required to get a new lunchbox or new

sneakers...you don't have to set your alarm clock so you won't miss the

big yellow school bus...you don't have to worry about grades on a report

card. In school or out, everyday you can practice your

A B Cs... Always Be Car ing!

Perhaps you'll consider things you can do to ADD beauty to the world,

beginning in our community, by simple acts of kindness. You could

SUBTRACT from some fr iend's busy schedule by prepar ing a meal

for the family. You could practice "the 3 Rs" by sending a note of

encouragement to someone to READ. . .by "_RITING" a thank you note

to let someone know you appreciate them... or by simple

"_RITHMETIC" with 1 smile + 1 kind word + 1 listening ear

equaling an A+ in caring!

Blessings!---Becky D.

The Glade Guild will meet on Sunday, September 30 following the

worship service. The agenda includes the Nov 2nd and 3rd Fall

Dinner and Bazaar, Christkindlmarket 2018, and the Thank Offering

Service. All are welcome!

The Mental Health Association of Frederick County has served the

community as a private, non-profit organization since 1965. A leader

in creating services that respond to the changing mental health needs in

our community, the Mental Health Association of Frederick County is

a place where people can be heard and receive support. Their

programs aspire to promote positive mental health and offer not just

education, but the support and compassion needed to make real and

lasting changes in the lives of those they serve. Your support enables

them to provide suicide/crisis intervention, professional therapy

services on a sliding scale basis, trained advocates for children in the

foster care system, and child abuse prevention programs that

strengthen and empower Frederick’s children and families.

The Date

Sept. 16, 2018

Many thanks to our July Soup Kitchen crew. We were a small but

dedicated and efficient group. We had plenty of food for our guests

and all went smoothly. We are up again on Sunday, Sept. 16th at the

Frederick Community Action Agency in downtown Frederick. We

will need mac & cheese, cakes, salad, rolls and, of course, servers. It

is a privilege to serve and we are thanked profusely and sincerely for

our service. Come join us on Sept. 16th. We can give you a ride from

church at 4:15 p.m. or meet us at the Soup Kitchen at 4:45 p.m.

Look for the sign-up sheet at the back of the church.

Mission & Social Action Committee

The 2018 Altar Flower Sign up Sheet still has several Sunday’s

available for the remainder of the year. PLEASE consider signing up

to provide the flowers for a Sunday or two. You may place them in

honor or memory of someone who is special to you. Consider

selecting a Sunday that coincides with their birthday or another special

day. You may wish to give a donation to the altar flower fund instead.

Make the check out to “Glade UCC” and on the memo line, write

“Altar Flower Fund”.

Special Thanks

A big thank you to Bill Powell for arranging

all the wonderful special music during the

summer while our choirs were on their

summer break. We enjoyed the beautiful

music from the very talented musicians.

Dear Members and Friends of Glade,

Thank you for such a nice celebration of

my eight years as your pastor. The kind

words of remembrances, the delicious

meal and time of fellowship, and the

generous monetary gift that we received to add to our Ireland trip

fund is most appreciated. A special word of thanks to Connie

Rough, Frances Cecil, Becky Duncan and Chris Torbeck are in

order. The table decorations, flowers, cake, and delicious food

were wonderful!

With Gratitude and Love,

Phil

A special thanks to all who provided the Refreshments

for our fellowship time after the summer worship

services.

They were enjoyed by all!
