Next Sunday, the 16th prepare to stay and help pack the
shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. There is no Sunday
School. Everyone is invited to help pack in the Youth Room.
Prayers
Prayers are offered for those who are in the hospital, going to the hospital,
or recovering: Marge Hafers, Mary Jean Jensen, and those serving in the
military.
Chair for the Church in Haiti
“Buy a chair” for Pastor Livenson’s church in Haiti. Each chair costs
$70.00 or you can contribute a portion of the cost of a chair. Checks
should be made payable to Emmanuel Lutheran Church with note:”Buy
a chair”
Farmworker’s Ministry Team
Will begin collecting sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets for the migrant
farmworkers at our Lutheran ministry in Dade City. Any size is acceptable.
Please bring them to the Yellow Bins in the Library on the weekend of
November 15-16th. If you would like to go along to deliver our gifts on
December 5th, call Gerri Amundsen at 395-1421.
Coffee Hour
New things are happening to the Coffee Hour. While you are
having a cup of coffee and a “sweet”, visiting with your friends,
look for the volunteer signup sheet for serving coffee
and sign up for a Sunday. We thought it might be more
convenient to sign up while in Fellowship Hall. Secondly, if you are hosting
coffee, please plan on being at church by 7:30am to get the food and drinks
ready prior to the first service.
