This summer you are invited to share your favorite hymns! In the service folders for the next few weeks, you will find an insert where you can list your favorite hymn numbers, drop it in the offering plate or the church office and we will sing them in worship this summer. Sometimes it’s nice to sing the old familiar hymns; we may just learn a few new ones too!

There are a several coats and jackets that have been hanging for quite a while (two years?) on the coat rack in the hallway at church.
Look familiar? Please check in the next few weeks if any of them are yours. We will be donating the abandoned outerwear to the Navajo Mission next month.

We hope to find a coordinator to pair with another person to head up the Fellowship Ministry Team. Jim Rebholz is the council liaison and Sally Newcomb has been managing the scheduling. With two people sharing the workload, it allows folks to travel and know that their co-chair is covering the duties. | | |
We are also looking for a person (or two) to take on the semiannual Blood Drives held in the Emmanuel Lutheran Fellowship Hall. Gail Gentes has been coordinating the blood drives for the past three years and is ready to pass on the task. If you are interested, Gail will teach you all the ins and outs of the commitment during the next drive on July 25. | | |
