Congratulations to our Graduates

Jacob Schubauer

I am a recent graduate of Venice High School who loves music and the ocean. I was a part of the marching band and wind ensemble at my school for four years, and just recently joined the jazz band for one year. I play the clarinet and the saxophone. I have been accepted to USF and will be going to the Tampa campus to study marine biology. I have always loved the ocean and I dream of working at Mote Marine after I finish my degree. Preferably as a shark and ray researcher. I love reading, listening and making music, and hanging out with my friends, especially at the beach. Thank you for your time.

Katie Hurlburt

I just graduated from North Port High School and I am attending University of Central Florida. I plan on studying elementary education. I have been a member of the church practically since birth and grown up at Emmanuel. My favorite memories at the church are being a group leader for Vacation Bible School and going to the Youth Gathering in Houston, Texas. Outside of the church I’ve been most passionate about dance and percussion, and these groups have really shaped me into the person I am today. Overall, I’m excited to see what the future brings!

Are you using our mobile directory??

While hardcopies of our directories have been delayed - what hasn't these days? You can still use our mobile directory to look up current names, addresses and phone numbers.

If you don't have it already, you will need to:

Contact the office for your family's password that allows you access to the app data. This makes the app more secure.
You will then receive an email from UCD with instructions and your unique identifier (password).
Download the My UCD app from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store depending on your phone using the link in the email.
Enter or copy and paste the unique identifier and you should be good to go!

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Thank you to all of you at home knitters for all the shawls. We were able to donate 12 shawls to Tidewell Hospice in Venice.

Pick up a shawl, for you or someone you know that may need a hug, in the Narthex.

Anyone interested in getting together to knit, please let Jadynne Berg know @ 612.723.3111.

Barb's Medical Minute

People with diets rich in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kombucha

as well as kimchi and other fermented veggies have more diverse bacteria in their guts and less inflammation. This is proof that

having a wide variety of gut bacteria leads to reduced risk of chronic conditions like diabetes.

Seriously, the only thing in that list I have ever heard of is yogurt, I have no idea what the rest are. Anybody eat that stuff??
