Hailey is a model student in our youth ministry. Her primary role is selecting music for every youth service on Wednesday night. However, her leadership and willingness to serve far extend her responsibilities. What I am most proud of is her dedication to making disciples. She is one of several of our students who truly understands the importance of adding value to someone else.

Roland is our Parking Lot Captain, and does such a great job. Actually, "great job" doesn’t even begin to describe the ministry of Roland Roux. Many of you have seen Roland in the parking lot with his big umbrella bringing one person after another to safety from the down pouring rain. One can find him in the Seniors parking lot where he valets as many cars as he can. One of the most touching things you will observe him doing is stopping to pray for needs right in the middle of the parking lot. It is not just about the physical aspect of the parking lot, but Roland uses this opportunity to minister the love of Jesus to anyone needing a special touch. He is very sensitive to others and takes his ministry to heart as he feels he is an extension of the Master's touch.

We are so blessed to have Roland at Glad Tidings, and the people of Glad Tidings and our guests receive such a warm reception the minute they enter the parking lot.

Great job Roland Roux! You are so appreciated, and such a blessing.

If you see Roland in the parking lot, let him know what a blessing he has been to you!

Just one visit to the Glad Tidings Bookstore will reveal how Becky loves people and loves God. She is eager to provide excellent service to the folks that stop in and shop before and after church. Becky has been a faithful volunteer since the bookstore opened in April of 2010. She is involved in several areas of ministry here at Glad Tidings and I am grateful that she has remained committed to the success of the Bookstore helping to provide Christian books and materials to the congregation. Becky volunteers with a spirit of excellence in whatever she sets her hands to do! I am really proud that she is my friend and co-laborer in God’s Kingdom with me.
