Emmanuel Life & Times August & September 2017

Summer Ministry Reflections

Mona and I celebrated our 35th Anniversary at an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. We had a

great time. Everything about the resort was nice: beautiful grounds and beaches, nice rooms,

amazing food, nightly entertainment. One of the things that made this resort special was the attitude

of the staff. Every staff person at the resort (lawn crew, pool attendants, cleaning staff, restaurant

workers, management staff, etc.) went out of their way to be friendly and supportive. Everywhere

we went, we are greeted with a smile and asked if we were enjoying our stay… did we need

anything. The attitude of the staff was caring and genuine. I think every church should act like a resort when new

people come our way. We need to go out of our way to acknowledge our guests, to ask them how they are doing

and how we can serve them. Too many churches act like convenience stores where people enter, find what they

want and leave without any meaningful human interaction. Let’s commit to making Emmanuel friendly, helpful

and supportive for all who come through our doors!

Starting in September: “SINGLE & PARENTING COURSE”

As a single parent, you know there aren’t many people who truly understand the unique

challenges you face. You deeply desire to do what’s best for your kids, and you worry that

you aren’t. Sometimes, it even feels as if it’s all you can do to get from one day to the next.

“Single and Parenting” is a special group that will bring hope, and refreshing, biblical

teaching on topics important to your life.

In this group, you will:

- Find practical help and hope.

- Watch excellent videos featuring both parenting experts and single-parents

- Take some quiet time to reflect on this information

- Have opportunities to briefly discuss topics in a confidential, small group

This two-month long Course is held on Wednesday evening at 6:00pm. It starts on September 13, 2017. Parents

and children are invited to church at 5:00 for an excellent dinner before the course. Childcare is available with prior

arrangements. The Course Leaders, Keith and Eileen Mayer, both have had experience as single parents themselves!

Space is limited and registration is required.

For further information and to register, contact Dr. Eileen Mayer or Terri Fielder at (304) 485-5171 or ….. You can

also check out the international website at: www.singleandparenting.org.

“ROMANS 12 MEAL”

Who is interested in hosting a “Romans 12 Meal”? In these verses, we are encouraged to express our

kindness toward each other in a variety of ways…including hospitality. To put this in practice, we

propose a flexible, easy format that is designed to foster friendship over a shared meal. The goal of a

Meal is to open your heart and (typically) your home to approximately 8 persons (including you!) for

a meal with time to develop new friendships or strengthen existing ones.

It is so easy to interact with the people with whom we are already familiar and comfortable. It can be

difficult to reach out to people you don’t really know… particularly if they are visitors or new members. The “Romans

12 Meal” format makes it easier to do this with just a few, suggested steps:

1. Pray the Lord guides you as to whom to invite.

2. Particularly seek out persons who are new … or new to you!

3. Prepare a simple invitation with the date, time, your address and contact info.

4. Give potential guests your invitation.

5. Prepare a simple meal and a few “Icebreakers” to foster conversation.

6. Enjoy your time together!

The Meals are about the loving hospitality described in Romans 12...not specific rules to follow. So, be creative and

flexible in where, whom, and how many you (feel comfortable) to host. For further information or to sign up, contact

Keith or Eileen Mayer at (304-834-2563), Barbara Kirsch, or Terri Fielder at the Church Office (304-485-5171).

Oh – and – enjoy the company!
