It has been a pleasure to have gotten to know Glendon. It was winter and my husband, Steve and I, were trained for focus group meetings. That’s where I noticed Glendon writing notes in the front of the room, as I had the pleasure to present one evening, even though one of our church members was writing on a large sheet of paper and keeping notes. Glendon was detailed, deliberate, and very personable with the presenters as well as the church members in the room. What I think is also a fun fact, is that Glendon always called me by name. I think we all love to hear our names said out loud.
It has been a pleasure to have gotten the leadership and direction for God’s plan from Glendon and to be one step closer to achieving immeasurably more.. As I’m writing, last Sunday our time turned to fall back…it’s two fold, we are in the season of Autumn and we are going forward “For Such A Time As This”.

Carmel Lutheran Church kicked off its ‘Hearts Compelled To Share’ capital campaign in record style. As of January 25th just 73 families of the more than 900 in the church had already committed $3.75 million dollars. That total represents not only the best kickoff to a campaign at CLC, it also represents the best campaign in total even though only 8% of the congregation has pledged so far.
The previous best campaign was just four years ago when CLC collected a total of about $3 million in pledges from over 425 donors.
