Greetings from Berwick (and Danville)!
We just finished month #4 of our residency program at Iron Mill Church in Danville! The month of August was filled with exciting observations and ministry opportunities!
The month started off with a summer celebration at Iron Mill, celebrating how God has been working and bringing us to this point through the pandemic.
I had the opportunity to visit two different community groups during August and do an in-home visit with a new family and our lead pastor. I also had the opportunity to preach September 8 as part of a short series called “Fear Itself.”
The community group that our family is part of is ready to multiply. The leader of this group and I talked about what it would look like to multiply this Fall. We have a target of beginning a new group sometime in October!
I also had the opportunity lead an elders’ prayer meeting in Berwick! It was exciting to show the Iron Mill elders around the town of Berwick. The original plan was to meet at a park near the Market Street bridge in Berwick (pictured above). However, the morning was rainy, so we quickly changed our plans and drove to three different locations and prayed for three different aspects of Berwick and our plant. It’s exciting to be part of a team that is passionate about planting and multiplication!
In addition to these opportunities, I was also able to do some spiritual gift coaching, organize an Iron Mill Student event, participate in a community group leaders meeting, individually meet with several college students, meet up with one of my mentors, participate in an outreach at a Chicken BBQ in Danville, and I’m sure there are more things I’m missing!
We are able to invest our time into preparing for church planting because of generous people making financial contributions! We appreciate the prayer and financial support so far! We are still looking for partnerships. If you are interested in staying up to date with our needs, follow this blog! If you are interested in supporting us financially, you can send checks made out to Iron Mill Church with “Iron Mill Greenhouse” marked on the memo line. Their address is 2 Church Hill Rd, Danville PA 17821. You can also give online at https://ironmillchurch.com/give/ by choosing “Iron Mill Greenhouse” in the drop-down menu instead of “General.”
Thank you for your generosity! We look forward to keeping you up to date each month!
Serving Christ with You,
Brandon and Samantha Glenn
