The GLC Staff – A Season of Gratitude

Amidst the waves of unanticipated challenges we have all experienced this year, there is much for which to be grateful. Below are just a handful of gratitude statements from the Great Lakes Conference staff.

As we wrap up 2020, what are you grateful for?

I am grateful to God for the evidence of His grace in my family this year and His work through our GLC churches as they have stepped up to serve people in their communities during this difficult chapter in history.
Garth McGrath | Superintendent

I am grateful for the blocked pathways this year that have allowed me to make different choices I might not have made.
Jody Eidnes | Conference Administrator

I am grateful to spend the majority of my days with my wife during this ‘stay in place’ order.
Alan Tumpkin | Director of Church Planting

I am grateful to have Christ and this amazing body of believers in my life during these difficult days. You are all so amazing.
Peg Wolter | Finance Assistant

I am grateful for the health of my family and the hope that Christmas brings to all of us!
Kim Carlson | Finance Officer

I am grateful for the opportunity to slow down, reflect and redefine what “success” looks like in my day-to-day. Identifying the grace God has showered upon my family amidst sorrow and stress has kept us grounded in love and hopeful for continued New Life in Christ.
Dani Van Voorst | Administrative Assistant

I am grateful for God’s profound kindness to allow me to finish a book… but more importantly, to move to Denver to be with our kids and grandkids.
Kevin Butcher | Conference Staff
