Members of Emanuel – Thank you for helping celebrate my high school graduation. I appreciate your kindness and generosity, and am grateful for your support. Thanks again, Brody Conway.

Please silence your cell phones during worship services. Thank you!

Special Meeting Announcement There will be a Special Congregational Meeting on Sunday, July 28th at 12:00p.m. followed by the Ice Cream Social. The purpose of the special meeting will be to vote on a new worship schedule and to vote on extending the call of Pastor Mike for three additional years. The Board of Fellowship is hosting an Ice Cream Social immediately after the Special Meeting.

A Gift Has Been Given to Feed the Need in memory of Shirley Baldauf on her birthday, July 19th by Ed Baldauf.

Thank you for your support and donations to the much-needed Feed the Need Ministry! Our current needs are: sandwich crackers, cookies, hotdog buns, hamburger patties, hamburger buns, lunchmeats, grapes, oranges, French fries, tater tots, frozen meatballs, baked beans, and chicken nuggets.

Children of Emanuel are invited to attend a joint VBS between St Paul’s Lutheran and Peace UCC churches. “Big Heart Farms – Where God’s Fruit Grows!” July 22-25, meal at 6pm, VBS from 6:30-8pm. Located at Peace Community Church, 4061 Columbus-Sandusky Rd. S., Marion.

Back to School Blessings – Exciting changes are happening to our “Blessings” event. We are partnering with local community members and will be expanding our event to include a DJ, Bourbon/Jerk Chicken, hamburgers/hot dogs, haircuts, and shoe vouchers. This means that we will be moving our event to Founder’s Park, so we have more space, as we expect more participants. It will continue to be held on August 3rd, but will have extended hours, 12-5:00. We need your help. We are taking financial donations (give to the office or drop in the plate with offerings with info that it goes to BTSB).  We will also need volunteers. A sign-up sheet will be in the Gathering Space. You can sign up for 1 hour, 3 hours for the entire event!

Gathering Space volunteers needed!  Sign-up sheets for Gathering Space refreshments are now available in the 2nd floor kitchen window for July through December.  Please check the list for a Sunday when you can host.  Need someone to share hosting duties with you?  Just ask and a member of the Board of Fellowship will be glad to do so!  Call or text Lori Campbell at 740-341-8024.

Thank you to the Board of Fellowship for making the switch to ceramic coffee mugs in the Gathering Space! Styrofoam cups are non-recyclable and are estimated to take over 500 years to decompose in the landfill. Small changes like this one can add up to a huge impact in the long run. Thanks again!

Can We Pray for You? If you have any upcoming surgeries or end up with an unplanned hospital stay, please contact the church office so we can visit and pray for you. We are also working to update our prayer list in the bulletin. Please take a look and let us know if anyone needs added or removed. Thank you!

So far Summer Jesus has been seen from Legoland to national parks. Where else will He travel to?  Don’t forget to send your pictures to deerinehart63@gmail.com so they can be posted.

Intro to Aspire Ministries Whether you represent a church, an organization in town, or you’re an individual who is just curious to learn more about Aspire Ministries, this event is perfect for you! Join us at Aspire Ministries on any of these days: Friday, August 9th @ 10am.

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.

Commemorative Anniversary Ornaments are available to purchase for $5 in the Gathering Space on Sundays while supplies last.
