Glad Tidings Bulletin

Let's THRIVE in 2025!

Welcome to Advent Season at Glad Tidings Church!

We Are a Community that Cares!

Stay informed - see our Community Announcements Page!


Remember to pray:

  • Pray for our Assemblies of God World Missionaries serving in areas of heavy persecution and our Nation.
  • Kind Hearts Pantry - Saturday (December 20) - from 10:30 am until 2:00 pm remember to come out for Kind Hearts Pantry day! Check out the info for Kind Hearts Pantry Click Here
  • And remember to pray for one another - if you have not seen someone at church in a while, pray for them, give them a call or text - you may be the one God uses to encourage a brother or sister in Christ.

***** CSAT Compliance ***** 

In order to insure the safety of all church attendees (especially the children) as well as maintain compliance with our insurance policy, all volunteers are required to go through a vetting process which begins with a paper application and includes contacting references, an in person interview and a criminal background check. If you are currently volunteering in any capacity at GT and have not completed those steps, please see Joyce Porzi after service. (If you are having trouble finding her, check the Nursery). Thank you.
