The old hearing loop was installed just under the carpet.

You may have noticed access to the parking lot between the church and Village on the Isle (VOTI) was blocked during the past week. This is a part of VOTI’s ongoing effort this summer to relocate their employees' vehicles to an alternative lot so that church parking can be made more available to members throughout the week. 

If you need access to parking, please tell the VOTI parking staff member (on duty between 6 and 10 AM) that you are with the church and require parking. VOTI and Emmanuel are continuing to take steps in working together to make our parking arrangement effective for our two organizations. If you have questions please reach out to Peter Doherty, Emmanuel Facilities Manager at pdoherty@emmanuel-elca.org.

Note: You can also get into the parking lot directly from the driveway on Tamiami Trail.

When should you go to the ER, and when can you go to a walk-in urgent care center? If you or someone is having a life-threatening emergency, or any condition that can cause significant disability, the ER is the place to go. Heart attack, stroke, breathing difficulty, severe injury are a few examples of when to call 911. Do not drive yourself to the ER!!!! (I know some of you have, but I won’t name names… !)

Use urgent care for things like common infections, colds, flu, earache, minor cuts or burns, sprains, fevers, etc. Walk-in clinics are designed for less serious medical problems or injuries, not life-threatening ones. The wait is usually less and so is the bill! Quicker and cheaper is always better!

Marvin Gates has been attending Emmanuel for a while. He grew up on a farm in South Dakota and worked as an engineer for Caterpillar. He has held many offices in the Lutheran church and likes to travel. He said he went to Israel and it was a powerful experience.

Dan Kilker has also been attending Emmanuel for some time. He was born in Milwaukee and worked as a Director of Engineering. He has been transferred eight times and always found a church to keep him grounded.

Please welcome both of these gentlemen to our Emmanuel family.

Please keep the following people in your prayers:

• Lenore Frederickson
• Caroline Giambattista
• Diane Hartman
• Curtis Savenko
