Sunday School 9:00 a.m. Word & Sacrament celebrated on Sundays at 9:30 a.m.

Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Fill the Ark Campaign-

to benefit Heifer International…

Throughout the Lenten season, Emanuel Sunday

School students will expressing God’s grace in their life by giving to

others. Heifer International’s Fill the Ark program offers

individuals and families an opportunity to learn about- and offer a

helping hand to- families around the world. It is a daily missions-

giving program that spans four weeks. It offers real life solutions

to world hunger and shows that one person…one family…one

congregation can make a difference in today’s world. At the end of

Lent we are hoping to have enough money to buy a goat or two for a

community on the other side of the world. If you would like to

learn more or participate with the students please see Megan.
