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 arrange 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

Barb's Medical Minute

It’s important to have a regular morning routine because it is beneficial for the whole family. Mornings can be hectic, especially with kids, and so doing a little “night before” preparing can make them much easier. Set out the bowls and cereal for breakfast, make lunches, decide what you will wear to work, put shoes, coats, backpacks etc. by the door, all the night before. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, having a consistent morning routine can increase your energy, positivity, and productivity throughout the day. A regular routine can eliminate the need to make decisions right away, which may help preserve your energy for the day and prevent decision fatigue. I definitely don’t need decision fatigue added to my regular fatigue!!

Stewardship and Outreach Emphasis

The tradition of education in Lutheran churches has a long history! Did you know that within one generation, the German people became literate due to Luther’s education programs? You are invited to be part of this tradition by joining the Christian Education committee at Emmanuel. We want your ideas and energy to help plan and promote programs and events.
