EMMANUEL WEEKEND FORUM

Rowe Hall, Room 101

Saturday @4:00pm

Sunday @9:30am

Have you ever been to a National Youth Gathering of the ELCA or one of its predecessors?

Join us this weekend for the Forum and share your story of how it impacted your faith and your life!

And come and see what the 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering is all about!

(Click the video below to watch the Forum Preview)

• Keep your eye on mercury levels of tuna. Levels vary with types and brands, but generally light and skipjack tuna contain much less mercury than albacore. About the only fish I will eat, so good to know.

• Another way to help your memory: Yoga! Either at home workouts of 50 minutes 3x a week, or in a class is a benefit. I have never felt so uncoordinated in my life until I took a yoga class. No filming, please.

• Does sunscreen really lower the risk for skin cancer? Yes! If used daily and reapplied as directed, it can cut the risk of squamous cell carcinoma by 40% and reduce the risk of fatal melanoma. Use at least 30 SPF every day. You can still get that tan (which makes almost everyone look better in my opinion), it just takes longer to get. I know I’m crazy, but I think I look thinner with a tan. Just an illusion, folks, just an illusion.

Please keep the following people in your prayers:

• Scott Cristian
• Caroline Giambattista
• Curtis Savenko
• LaDonna Whetzel

THANK YOU! We have raised over $1000 so far -
