The Saints softball team kept their winning streak alive winning both games against St. Nicholas Church last Friday night, bringing their record to 8-4. This Friday evening the Saints take on first-place Old Donation Church at 8:45 pm and 9:45 pm. Games are at the Princess Anne Athletic Complex, Red Field #4. We need as much support as possible; come out and cheer on the Saints!
Donna Lewis was our Stewardship witness speaker at both worship services this morning. Donna related some of the many times over the past forty plus years of worshiping at Emmanuel that she has experienced moments of joy as she has both given, and been the recipient of generosity offered by fellow parishioners.
Thank you Donna for your inspiring witness talk relating how much your Emmanuel family has meant to you, Doug, and your family through times of both prosperity and challenge.
Congratulations to Grace Duncan whose pledge envelope was drawn this morning after announcements. Grace won a $50 gift certificate to Salvatore’s Pizzeria for turning in her 2019 pledge before October 21.
Don’t miss the fun! Turn in your pledge card at the office, by mail, or bring it to church on Sunday to enter the October 28 drawing ($25 gift certificate to Cinema Cafe) and November 4 (Flat Jesus mugs and mouse pads).
Your Vestry is looking for persons who want to share their Generosity and bring Joy to Emmanuel parish. Vestry members are elected for three year terms (2019-2021).
The Vestry is the primary leadership body, serving as the spiritual discernment and decision-making group, responsible for setting church vision, providing financial oversight, enabling policy development, and nurturing and supporting Emmanuel’s many ministries. There are many areas where parishioners can give their time and talent.
We ask you to prayfully consider serving on Emmanuel’s Vestry because your leadership skills, generosity, and joy are needed. Serving on the Vestry is an experience that enriches one’s spiritual life and offers a feeling of being connected with Emmanuel’s entire community. We are a congregation worth investing in!
Speak to Mother Mimi, Rick Keuhne (Senior Warden), or Diann Nickelsburg (Junior Warden) if you have questions. Please consider serving, you are needed!
Have you ever noticed this bookcase next to the kitchen door filled with colorful works of kitted and crocheted fiber art as you walk down the long hallway?
These works of love are part of the Prayer Shawl Ministry and are offered to those who need comfort, healing, or as a celebration. To give someone a shawl, please take one and then write the recipient’s name on the list provided.
Yarn and monetary donations are graciously accepted, as is your talent as a knitter. If you are interested in being part of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, please speak to Loretta Jensen or Karlyn Chafee.
