Emmanuel Lutheran Church

November Newsletter - Please have your information for the next newsletter to the church office by this Wednesday, October 16.

A volunteer is needed to do Cookie Fellowship after the 8:00 worship service on Sunday, October 27. If you can do this, please let Pastor Alan know or call the church office.

Monday Night Bible Study - The book of Titus teaches how to live in a sinful world. Join us as we continue our study of Titus on Monday, October 14 at 6:30 in the church parlor. Enter the church through the yellow door located on the south side of the building.

Senior Worship - We now have a special worship service designed just for seniors who would like to come to worship, but can’t get ready in time or have trouble sitting in the pew for an hour. The service will start at 12:00 noon and conclude by 12:30. It will be held once a month on the third Sunday of the month. Large print bulletins will be available as well as a more intimate setting for enhanced hearing. If a more comfortable personal chair (folding/wheel) is needed, bring it! If you or a relative have ever said, “I miss going to church, but I just can’t anymore,” then this is an opportunity to come back to worship in the church you/they love and miss.

Eat and Learn - Join in on a refreshing look at the work of the Holy Spirit. Each session is from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the Education Building parlor. Pizza will be provided. This series is from noted author and pastor, Jim Cymbala and is titled, When God’s Spirit Moves: Six Sessions on the Life-Changing Power of the Holy Spirit. There will be a video presentation followed by group discussion. Remaining dates are: October 17, 31 and November 7 and 21. It's not necessary to attend all the sessions -- if you miss any, you are still welcome to come to any remaining sessions.

The church Library is a special collection of books, periodicals and DVDs available to promote the spiritual development of our members. Come and check out our library -- and check out a book, or two!

Office and Education Building Hours - The church office and Education Building are closed on Fridays, with exceptions for approved special events and funeral dinners. The Education Building is locked at 4:00 on Thursdays.
