Bishop Daniel will join us here at Emanuel for a conversation on rest and Sabbath. Bishop Daniel will join us on Thursday, April 25th. Pastor Sarah and Deacon Sherry will also be with us for the day. They will take the book study times (11:30a and 5:30p) to discuss rest and Sabbath. All are welcome to the discussion, even if you are not participating in the book study.
Bishop Daniel will also preach and preside at worship Thursday evening at 7pm.
The Communication and Evangelism Team were thrilled that 30 Lenten prayer journals were taken and (hopefully!) used. Now, we would like your input. There is a survey in the gathering space for you to complete and add to the offering plate. Fill one out if you took a journal. If you did not take a journal, fill out just the last two questions, so you can be heard too. We have an Ascension to Pentecost Journal in the works and something special for Advent.
From the Board of Spiritual Life Cottage meetings will be held for members of the congregation to discuss the worship schedule for the coming future. These meetings will be held in the Martin Luther room. The final meeting is schedule for: April 25 at 12:30 with Deb Yager
Everyone is invited to come to a meeting and share your thoughts. We want to hear from you!

Join us for Book Study! Bishop Daniel has stated 2024 will be the Year of Rest. To join in this process, we will work through “Keeping the Sabbath Wholly – Ceasing, Resting, Embracing, Feasting” by Marva J. Dawn. This book is more about living a holistic spiritual life, and goes far beyond just keeping Sabbath. We will be working through this book for most of 2024. We have in-person gatherings on Thursdays at 11:30a and 5:30p. We also have a virtual session on Sunday nights at 6:30p. If you would like the zoom link for the virtual session, send an email to Pastor Mike.
Newsletter Content is due Monday, April 15th for the May Good News Newsletter. Thank you!
