GOT FRUIT?

The popularity of the “Got Milk?” ads is not only effective, but funny & eye-grabbing!  Seems to me that GlenMartians should publish a few, except that instead of milk being on the lips of every featured person, it should be fruit: the fruit of Radical Hospitality, Passionate Worship, Intentional Faith Development, Risk-taking Mission/Service, and Extravagant Generosity.

There are so many obvious sources of fruit in our church already - - - the Gift Card program, the Greeters, our Sunday morning worship, etc.  These are obvious and highly visible so they come to mind immediately.  BUT, what about the others?  What about those of which we never hear a resounding AMEN! or see at busy tables in the Gathering Area, or see identified by brightly colored shirts? 

How many other examples of our focused Practices exist and are being lived out in the body of Glen Mar?  We want to celebrate the least known as well as the most obvious.  

What are fruitful practices that you see in your life at Glen Mar?  Are they within your ministry, or acts that you see around you?  Is it a group, or even just one person?  We’re looking for enlightenment for that which we may be unaware or have overlooked.

Please email me (layleader@glenmarumc.org or gamarcar@verizon.net), drop a note in the Open Mailbox (literature rack in the Gathering Area), put a note in Pastor Mary Ka’s mailbox (across from the kitchen), or email her (maryka.kanahan@glenmarumc.org).

We are looking forward to hearing from you!!

Gail Carter, Lay Leader
