Pastor Dee Emmert

In the service of God, we seek to follow the example of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

  We're glad you came to visit our site.
 It is our goal that every visitor feel included and loved as part of the family of God. Whether we are young or old, married or single, all of us find purpose in life and our connection with each other and the wonderful fact that God Loves us!

We strive to love God with all of our hearts, soul, and minds.

We experience forgiveness because of Jesus Christ.

We accept and welcome others with kindness.

We engage in conversation with God through listening, prayer, worship, and Bible study.

We serve our neighbors in need of food, clothing, and Christian guidance

The February Special Envelope will be for the Good Samaritan Fund. The Good Samaritan Fund is used to assist those in the area who request help with their utility bills. We work closely with other agencies in the area to assist folks in getting the amount they need to avoid shut-off or to restore service after it has been shut off. Once they get help from another agency, we pay the last $25 of their bill. Each person can only be helped once a year. There are more people needing assistance each year. Your generous giving allows us to keep helping those in need.

To Emmanuel and Hope Lutheran Parish,

Thank you so much for the gifts and money that you gave me this Christmas. I received gifts directly from individuals, monetary gifts through congregations and a monetary gift from the parish. I deeply appreciate your signs of love and encouragement.

Dear Church Family,

We would like to thank everyone that sent cards and offered condolences when my mother passed away. It is very comforting to know that people are thinking of you.

Dear Friends of Emmanuel,

I would like to thank each of you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers over the last 2-1/2 months. Thanks to all of the cards that were sent, I had the most decorated windowsill on the 3^rd floor!

I have been home since December 28 recuperating and enjoying time with my family. It has been great to be with my children again!

On January 23 I go back to the hospital for another 5 day round of chemotherapy to start preparing my body for the bone marrow transplant, which will most likely occur at the beginning of March.

Please continue to keep me, and this time my bone marrow donor, who is my brother Ryan, in your thoughts and prayers as I continue my journey to health. Thanks again!

A Koinonia breakfast is being planned for the first Sunday of March after the Liturgy. The choir and DJ Raisley will be cooking REAL BUCKWHEAT CAKES (the sour dough kind). So mark your calendar for Sunday, March 4^th.

Also, the choir is open for new members in all voice parts. We have a short warm up rehearsal at 9:30 am before Liturgy and then the rehearsal right after the Liturgy for one hour. Anyone that is interested, please talk to one of the choir members or DJ Raisley. See also the flier on the bulletin board in Memorial Lobby.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
