Ask a Youth...


It's not too early to start thinking about the holidays-after all the retail stores are already filing their shelves!


Christmas greenery orders are being taken NOW through November 1 from any youth. Delivery the weeks of November 28 and December 5 (if needed).


Funds from this youth fundraiser will go toward their trip to Slovakia planned for June 2023.

Next Weekend! Please plan to attend.

Property Spotlight

Cremation Garden

Take a walk through our beautiful Cremation Garden. The Stands and plaques have been completely refurbished and look great. Our departed cherished members are respected, loved and cared for by our church family. Watch for new flat, stones marking the burial areas coming soon. 

Property Committee is proud to announce that the Metal Pitched roofs are completed. Kingdom Roofing is hard at work on our flat roofs taking all the old layers off, repairing base damage and reroofing with small pitch. When roof is complete, we will have new commercial grade gutters installed.

Painting has commenced and you will be seeing quite a change in Emanuel’s updated look over the next few weeks.

New storage cabinetry for the Fellowship Hall has been ordered. It takes a while but soon we’ll have additional storage for our committees.

Office reception, copy room, Peter’s office and Sanctuary elevator stairwell have had new carpet installed. Sheetrock repairs will commence when roofing complete.

Thanks for your patience during the updating of our campus.

Barb's Medical Minute

If you’re like me and have trouble getting all the fruits and veggies you need in your diet, try these tricks. (Seriously if they tasted more like chocolate, NOBODY would have a problem getting enough.) Try:

  • fruit on your cereal or oatmeal (ok)
  • spinach (nope) or other veggies in scrambled eggs
  • shredded, grated, or pureed veggies in stews, casseroles, or pasta (way to ruin pasta)
  • carrots dipped in hummus (gag)
  • broccoli with peanut butter (not eating trees). 

And it is suggested to reach for a fruit for that sweet something after dinner. (I prefer that bowl of ice cream!) And I wonder why I can’t lose the 20 lbs. that I need to!!

Hospital Care Callers Visits


Hospital visitations are starting again!! If you are in the hospital, be prepared for one of these people to come and visit and (hopefully) cheer you up.

Kathy Keck        Robin Curle            Tim Lady

Ellie Boehmer    Darlene Curtin       Birdie Clark

Nancy Bollers    Pat Walther

Jan Quinn          Debbie Steinberg


With this Spiritual Care Giver program up and running again, we need everyone’s cooperation to let the church (or Barb Spenks) know when they are admitted to the hospital.

If we don’t know you are there, we don’t know to visit!
