Leader:
Give and it will be given you; good measure pressed down shaken
together, running over will be put into your lap.
People: For the measure you give will be the measure you get back
Leader: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust
consume and where thieves break in and steal.
People: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth
nor rust consume and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Unison: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

SISTERS OF HAGAR MINISTRY
A Woman of Faith Sisterhood
March is National Women’s History Month; as
such, the Sisters of Hagar are planning two events:
ANNOUNCEMENTS
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd IBC CREDIT UNION will hold their
Annual Shareholders meeting immediately following worship service downstairs in Classroom #3 (lower hall nearest Trustees office) All are welcome ~ The
Board of Directors.

Life Haven Women’s Shelter Basic Needs Drive We believe women
need to support one another, especially those who, at times, are not able to
support themselves. We are asking Immanuel to assist us in helping the
women housed in Life Haven Women’s Shelter. They need twin size blankets ( gently used and/or preferably new), new washcloths, towels and personal size laundry detergent. The ladies are allowed to take these items
with them when they leave the shelter. You will be able to find these items
less expensive if you shop dollar stores, such as Big Lots, Odd Lots or other discount stores, and Good Will Stores. If you prefer, you can donate
money to us, and we will do the shopping. Boxes will be placed in the
front and back narthex for you to place donations.

SUNDAY, MARCH 22nd: 100 WOMEN IN BLACK —We ask that all
women dress in black. We want to be at least 100 women strong, dressed in
black as a statement of mourning for our black boys and girls who are mistreated in any way by the police and by any and all systems—judicial, governmental, social, educational and economical that hinder our children, and
all of us, from living the best we can, free from fear because of the color of
our skin. A call to all women to show your support by dressing in black!
