the great line-up of entertainment at lunch in Romero’s Rusty
Nugget Saloon, aka Henry’s Cafè, from 11:00am-1:00pm.

are also offering western movies every day. The week will
culminate with a great concert from the popular Dry Heat
Band on Friday, March 27 at 6:00pm in the Auditorium. Invite
your friends and enjoy the week!
Please check the four page, Gold Nugget Gazette that you
received last week for a full listing of all of the activities.
Glencroft Recycles
Our partnership with Glendale Recycling is coming
up on our seventh year. As a refresher, we want to
review a few of the things that can be put into the
recycle bins.
• Food cans, empty aerosol cans, aluminum cans
• Corrugated cardboard boxes, dry food boxes (remove
waxy lining from cereal and cake boxes), paper towel tubes,
pizza boxes
• All newspaper and inserts, magazines, telephone books
• White and colored paper, junk mail, files folders, paper
grocery bags, windowed envelopes
• All plastic containers that carry the recycling symbol of
#1 through #7. If there’s no number on it, throw it away.
All recycling items need to be clean, dry and empty (please
empty bottles of soda and half used food containers before
recycling). Recycling items should be placed loose in your
recycling container. Do not bag these items.
If you have an item not on this list or you have a question if it
is to be recycled, it goes into the garbage!
New Phone Number
The Dry Heat Band
This local band is back to entertain
us with a variety of music. Their
act includes Western, Country,
Folk, Old Standards, Bluegrass
and Gospel music. Humor and
audience participation are trademarks of The Dry Heat Band. Come
enjoy the show on Friday, March 27
at 6:00pm in the Auditorium.
Henry’s Café now has an
external telephone
number, 623-847-3111.
The new line was added to
make calling from an outside line easier for
both guests and residents. You can still
reach Henry’s by dialing 2030 when calling
from a Glencroft line.
New Times
The Sunday Vesper’s Service at Providence
Place now begins at 3:00pm.
The Tuesday Bible Study with Chaplain Cheryl
in Providence Place’s Skinner Memorial Chapel
now begins at 9:30am.
Coming Soon
Watch for details on the new Aging in Arizona
Educational Series that will be offered the
second Wednesday of each month starting
April 8 at 10:30am in the Auditorium.
Casita Guest Parking
There has been an increase in people parking near the grassy areas by the Casitas.
There is NO parking allowed there as these
areas need to be available for emergency
vehicles. Please ask your guests to park in
visitor spots or on the street.
In Times of Trial
A new 8-week women’s Bible Study, "In Times of Trial"
by Gene A. Getz, will begin on Thursday, April 9 at
10:00am in the Grand Canyon Room. Please call the
Community of Faith office to register so they will
have enough materials prepared.
"New believers are not in the Church long before
they discover that Christians are not exempt from
testing and trials.
Joseph, last of the four great patriarchs, suffered in
ways that adults can identify with today. He was
tempted, abused, rejected, misunderstood, falsely
accused and lonely. In spite of Joseph's isolation from
godly influences for several decades, he proved to
be a model of one who obeyed God and pursued
godliness in all circumstances.
This study will be a source of strength and encouragement to today's Christians as they face temptations,
struggle with testing and endeavor to find answers
for periods of waiting. From Joseph's experiences,
they will be assured that God is silently at work in
their lives, as well, bringing them to a new level of
maturity that will equip them to be triumphant in
times of trial."
Campus Distribution Boxes
Did you know that we have labeled distribution boxes on our campus that can be
used to deliver notes to our independent
living residents? The mailbox cubbies are
located in the Activity Center. Towers residents will find their distribution boxes
located in the Towers lobby and Manor 2
residents will find distribution boxes in
their lobby.
Please check your box from time to time
and feel free to use the boxes to distribute
well wishes and birthday greetings to
friends and neighbors.

You will never be
as young again
as you are today,
so have fun.
But be careful,
because you have never
been this old before.
Did you know that the GCA has a
Birthday Party every other month to
celebrate our residents’ birthdays?
We also greet new residents who
have joined the Glencroft family
during this celebration.
Everyone is invited to join us on
Tuesday, March 24th, at 3:00pm
in the Towers Dining Room as we celebrate the
March and April birthdays on our campus. There
will be refreshments.
New at Henry’s
A new POS (Point of Sale) computer system is
being installed to improve the Glencroft dining
experience in Henry’s Cafe. Beginning mid April,
a server will take your meal selection on a touchscreen device and it will automatically display on
a screen in the kitchen, where the cooks will
prepare your order. This will enable the servers
to continue providing customer service and
taking other guests orders without having to walk
back and drop the paper ticket off to the cooks
and it will speed up the time that you receive your
meal. In addition, the new system will be able to
take credit card payments for food.
Pizza and a Movie
On Friday, March 20, bring $5
to the Auditorium at 5:00pm to
enjoy pizza and a movie. The
movie will be City Slickers.
This Western comedy features
three friends in a mid-life crisis
as they go on a Wild West
adventure together. This isn't
really a Western movie in the
classic sense, but more like a fish-out-of-water
comedy. Billy Crystal is hilarious with his sarcasm
and cynical sense of humor, and together with
Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby they make up a really
fun trio. Jack Palance is memorable as Curly
Washburn - an old legendary cowboy
who oozes intimidation. If there
were ever a contest for most
hardcore cowboy in cinema,
it would be a close race
between him and Clint
Eastwood.

Was Jesus Really Convinced He
Was God?
Isn’t It Offensive To Claim Jesus is
the Only Way to God?

Passion Week, also known as Holy Week, is the
time from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday.
Also included within Passion Week are Maundy
Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Passion
Week is so named because of the passion with
which Jesus willingly went to the cross in order
to pay for the sins of His people.
Jesus Christ truly revealed His passion for us in
the suffering He willingly went through on our
behalf. What should our attitude be during Passion
Week? We should be passionate in our worship of
Jesus and in our proclamation of His Gospel! As
He suffered for us, we should be willing to suffer
for the cause of following Him and proclaiming
the message of His death and resurrection.
The Spiritual Life Leadership Team has put together
several events during Passion Week to help us
focus on Christ. Everyone is invited to participate
in the events listed.
Wednesday, April 1, 2:30pm • AUD

Friday, April 3
