What a joy it was to see everyone in goldenrod “God’s work. Our hands.” shirts in worship on Sunday! The ELC Traveling Singers performed at Glassford Place and Mountain Valley Rehab Hospital and it was great to see the residents singing along and the smiles and Thank Yous they shared after. One gentleman at Mountain Valley told us that our singing was the best thing that had happened to him all month. We received many invitations to come and sing again. The folks that did yard work at Liberty Traditional School came back dusty, thirsty and hungry and the good news was that the potluck food was hot and ready to go and plenty to go around. The schoolyard will need lots more attention, but there will be other opportunities to help in the future. Envelopes were stuffed and postcards written for advocacy as well as for Yavapai Big Brothers & Sisters. The next 5
th
Sunday will be at the end December between Christmas and New Years. If you have any suggestions on projects we can do in the community, please contact Janet Santiago, church council president. A big shout out to all who were able to participate this time, thank you for sharing God’s love with our neighbors!
The church council in September approved the change in worship times; so beginning on Sunday,
November 3
rd
we will be meeting for worship at
8:30 and 10:30am
. This is the day that other parts of the country will be turning their clocks back, returning to standard time. So while they get an extra hour of sleep, we at Emmanuel will be sleeping in an extra fifteen minutes. But no worries, if you forget, you will just get an extra 15 minutes of fellowship time!
Our many opportunities for Bible Studies will be fully underway in October, make sure you find a group that fits your interests and time needs. A new trifold brochure with all the offerings will be available in the narthex of the church soon.
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Psalm 78:1
Blessings, Pr. Tricia

Liberty Traditional School

Our Mission Outreach for October is Liberty Traditional School. Emmanuel's Outreach Ministry has voted to have the monies received, split between the
Art
and
Music
Programs. The
Art
program is new this year with a newly hired teacher to teach with very limited dollars for classroom supplies. The PTO had been finding volunteers to do an after school
Art
program for a number of years and what little supplies they had left they gave to the new teacher. The
Music
program at Liberty is also trying to start an orchestra and is
IN
need of instruments.

Pictured here are Syrenity Tunstall with her mentor Renee Llewellyn, Aiden Johnson with his mentor Michael Beno,Serena Schiferlli with her mentor Deb Deutsch and Colton Woolley with his mentor Gary Kiser.
Confirmation is well underway and we recently had quite the adventure, literally on the grounds of Emmanuel Lutheran Church! Following the awkwardly adventurous life of Jacob, our confirmation students and their mentors are pictured here laying on the ground with their heads on rocks as we hear Jacob did in the book of Genesis… And we’re not sure how much sleep Jacob got with a rock as his pillow!
Aware of Jacob‘s famous wrestling with God story, our confirmation students and mentors participated in 12 thumb wrestling matches… To experience a little bit of wrestling and with the knowledge that Jacob produced the 12 tribes of Israel!
Please keep us all in prayer as we follow many of the characters like Jacob throughout the Bible, drawing us closer to God through the adventures lived by the ancestors of our faith!
