Immanuel Lutheran Church Announcements - August 2 - 8, 2010
Invest in Solid “R.O.C.” Reaching Out in Christ (Investments support
Youth Mexico Trip): By purchasing shares of stock, you will
contribute to providing materials that will build a home for a family
in need, the opportunity for the youth to witness God’s unconditional
love, and life changing experiences for our youth as well as the
families of Florida and Mexico. The “dividends” are endless in the
hands of our loving and gracious God. All stockholders will be
entitled to attend a “stockholders” meeting on Sunday, August 15th,
where photos and souvenirs will be shared, with a question and answer
period to evaluate how the investments have grown. Thank You! The youth of Immanuel would like to thank the congregation for their
wonderful support. You have been there for us and supported us for our
major fundraisers. These fundraisers will help us to travel down to
Mexico in order to be disciples of Christ and reach out and touch a
family in need. Without your efforts we would not be able to take on
this venture. For your prayers, thoughts, and continued help we are
grateful. “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely
I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” [Matthew 28:19-20]
Last Patio Gathering for Pastor David and Carla: Pastor David and
Carla would like to get to know the members of Immanuel better through
small group gatherings. We know that summer is upon us and people have
busy schedules, however, we are approaching our last patio gathering
in mid-August and hope you can join us. If you’ve not attended a patio gathering,
please RSVP to the host. Sat., Aug. 14, 6:00 p.m. Contact the church office for the host's
contact information. (Dinner, bring an appetizer or dessert)
“Immanuel Reads” has selected our next book entitled, “The Shack” by
William P. Young. We will meet Sat., August 28, at 5:00 p.m. to
discuss the book followed by a potluck dinner. Brief description:
Mackenzie Allen Phillips’ youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted
during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally
murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.
Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a
suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack
for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on
a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he
finds there will change his life forever.
Immanuel’s Annual Luau will be held on Sunday, August 29, at 5:00 p.m.
This event is for the entire family. Bring your favorite tropical dish
to share (appetizer, salad, main dish, dessert) and wine if you’d
like. The Fellowship Committee will provide coffee, tea, and juice.
Come with your family and enjoy a casual, relaxing evening. We’ll do
our best to provide warm tropical breezes and soothing Hawaiian music.
Please sign up on the sign-up sheets in the Fellowship Hall. Mahalo!
