Good morning friends and Members of Emmanuel Church,
It’s an overcast morning on God’s hill!
Sunday, July 29th marks the last Sunday of the month but also a new theme in worship. We will begin a series on the book of Psalms called: The Modern Psalm. It will last through August 26th and will look at our life from all sides–in the book of Psalms there is every human emotion; grief, anger, praise, hope, praise, love, loss, worry, concern and joy. We will discuss how to deal with emotions using the Book of Psalms during this series.
Looking ahead: Wednesday Evening is the Prayer Angels at 7 p.m. We will pray for 2 blanket recipients and will make 2 blankets, as well as pray for the congregation.
Next Sunday: August 5: Holy Communion and The Modern Psalm.
Wednesday, August 8th: Consistory at 7 p.m.
Wednesday August 15th at 7 p.m.: Confirmation 2018-2019 organizational meeting for Confirmation youth and their parents. (12 years old by May of 2019 is the recommended age)
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Joseph
Looking Ahead: Church Picnic & Export Ethnic Food and Music Festival
Save the Date: On August 18th, we have been invited to join other churches at Fairview Park in Delmont, for the Annual Church Picnic of Fairview. On that same day (!), we will be hosting a booth at the Export Ethnic Food and Music Festival from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. We will be looking for people to sign up in approximately 1 hour blocks. Sign up sheets are in the Steele Building for you to sign. Hope to see you there!
