2020 LWR Challenge
Lutheran World Relief is celebrating its 75th Anniversary of faithful service of God’s love in action for the world (Watch the 1 1/2 minute video). In honor and celebration of this milestone, Immanuel has been challenged by a member to match a $5000 gift to LWR. The funds from this challenge will support LWR’s work in Central America where farmers are being supported and encouraged so that they can thrive were they are.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
FALL CLEAN-UP
TODAY: Saturday, Oct. 24, 8am - 12 noon
The focus will be on cleanup outdoors. We'll be removing lots of brush in our retention pond on the south border of our property and tending to winter preparations outdoors. Let us know when you're available: Please sign-up
SNOW SHOVELERS NEEDED
We're hoping that some of our regular snow movers can get some help from some newbies (as more folks are working from home and have flexible schedules). Volunteers sign up to shovel for a week at a time - maybe 2 or 3 times a winter. We have two snow blowers that are available to use. We're in need of volunteers ASAP, as it’s already snowing!!! Contact tammy@immanuel.us with any questions. Please sign up online!

Coats are being received through the end of October.
Items will be distributed through Loaves and Fishes in early November and are needed more than ever!

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS
Oct. 28 - Nov. 18, 6:30 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.

We don't do lament very well. Let's learn together from God's people how they cried out to God in difficult circumstances, seeking God's mercy in all things. How might we recover the lost spiritual art of lament as we seek hope in God during these uncertain times?

 All are welcome, for part or all of the series! Details and Zoom link.
