Stewardship is about time, talent and tithing. We are blessed to have many members that share their time and talents with us at Emmanuel. Have you ever wondered who sets up the church for every service? It’s members of the Altar Guild and they could use YOU.

Members of the Altar Guild prepare the altar and communion vessels for worship services, as well as array the altar area for holidays, baptisms, memorial services, and other special occasions.

Several members are on duty each month to prepare, replenish and clean up for the four worship services held each weekend
Monthly meetings are held the second Saturday of each month at 9:30 a.m. from October-April
On-the-job training provided

If interested, contact Maggie Merlino:

Barb's Medical Minutes

Since this weekend is Daylight Savings Time, I thought I would tell you the best times to hit the hay. To benefit your heart, the best bedtime is between 10 p.m. and 10:59 p.m. If you go to bed between 11 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. there is a 12% higher risk of heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. (YIKES!) Even worse, if you go to bed after midnight, then the risk is 25%!! Researchers noted that late bedtimes are linked with higher blood pressure, clogged arteries, obesity, and high blood sugar.

I guess early to bed, early to rise is true.
