Weekly Edition November 14, 2019
Greetings Friends!
Another week flies by and we are now in mid November! As we come full speed into this busy time of the year.... here is what we have planned for this coming weekend and beyond...
Our Fall Craft Fair takes place on Friday and Saturday this week. You'll find some wonderful craft choices on Friday from 4:00pm -8:00pm and Saturday from 9:00am - 3:00pm. This is not only a great chance to do some Christmas shopping, it's also a great chance to introduce your friends and neighbors to Immanuel. So bring a few friends, support the crafters and enjoy some wonderful food at Barb's Bistro!
We will also gather at the Buranich Funeral Home on Saturday morning at 11:00am to celebrate Vince Lawrence's life among us. Many of us were so blessed to get to know and love Vince here at Immanuel.
Sunday is the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost and I am continuing my sermon series, "What if...?" This week's message is based on Isaiah 54:1-4a and is entitled "What if... we did something extraordinary?" I believe there are 3 steps to extraordinary living and I hope you'll join me in looking at them this weekend! At 8:30am we'll celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion in our beautiful Fireside Room, while the 10:00am service will find us joining with the choir in the Sanctuary. There will be another great choir anthem for our enjoyment, as well! And our 2020 Stewardship Moment will have us looking at how we take care of our facility! Fellowship Time this week is hosted by the Peters and Stevens families. Thanks for hosting us each week as we enjoy a time of fellowship together!
Coming up on our calendar....
You need to order your Christmas Door Sprays this Sunday! See Shelley and her helpers in the Narthex to choose your door spray!
It's almost time to fill our Angel Tree and Mitten Trees! Look for these to be decorating the Narthex very soon!
Next Sunday, November 24th is our 2020 Commitment Sunday! You'll receive information about making your commitment and a commitment card this week. PLEASE try to have it back by next Sunday... so that our Finance Team and Administrative Council can finalize our Spending Plan for 2020. THANKS!
Advance planning for you is that we will decorate our Sanctuary and the rest of the facility for Advent/Christmas on TUESDAY morning, Nov. 26th! Yup, that's right... we're decorating before Thanksgiving.... because the First Sunday of Advent is December 1st this year!
Speaking of Advent... don't forget to sign up for our Advent Study, "The Wonder of Christmas" on the white board outside the Fireside Room. The study group will meet on Monday's at 12:00noon starting November 25th in the Fireside Room. We'll be bringing our own lunch and enjoying this time of study each Monday through December 16th! Our books are on order and we'll get them to you as soon as possible!
OK... come visit the crafters, and participate in all the wonderful events in the family of Immanuel! Because our family just isn't complete without you! See you at 8:30am or 10:00am! Pastor Jack and Pastor Pam
