Stewardship and Outreach February Emphasis

The tradition of education in Lutheran churches has a long history! Did you know that within one generation, the German people became literate due to Luther’s education programs? You are invited to be part of this tradition by joining the Christian Education committee at Emmanuel. We want your ideas and energy to help plan and promote programs and events. Please contact Kathy Anderson if you want more information: ktanders55@ yahoo.com
