Lilja Family Charter Members
Charter member Glenn Lilja was born near Erie, Colorado on the Boulder County line and joined St. Andrew as it was being born. Glenn and his wife, Shirley, were married at First Lutheran Church in Boulder. For awhile they attended services there. Since St. Andrew was being established, and Glenn and Shirley and their two daughters lived in the neighborhood, they became charter members of the new church.
Glenn served on the first Board of Deacons, and Shirley, as wife and mother, helped with Sunday School classes. Through the years, Glenn has been a faithful member of St. Andrew. As he says, “St. Andrew is a place of blessing, a place of friendships. It’s my home.”
Glenn sees the future of St. Andrew as continuing to teach God’s Word and to keep the people of God here as special as they always have been and always will be. “St. Andrew was the number one church when I joined. It’s still number one. I would say that to this day.”
