The Glenview Outreach "GO" Bus provides transportation to and from Glenview's 10:30 a. m. Sunday service at no charge. Members of the congregation and visitors are welcome to reserve a ride on the bus every week or as needed. An effort will be made to include everyone living within a reasonable travel time from the other passengers and Glenview.
When does the GO Bus run?
Plans are to start on January 9, 2011 and run until mid-. June 2011. The continuation of the GO Bus after this time will depend on several factors, including ridership, volunteer participation and funding. Once a route has been developed, regular passengers will be given an approximate pick up time between 9:00 a. m. and 10:15 a. m.
