Dining to Donate @ Applebee's, April 14, 2008

Posted April 7th, 2008 by school_news

Stressed out from doing your taxes?   Come, relax and enjoy good company and food at Applebee's on Monday April 14, all day. Emmanuel Lutheran Schools Parent Ad Hoc committe will recieve 15% of your bill that will enable this energetic group of parents to purchase supplies to spruce up our School.  When you come to dine, you must bring a flyer with you to present to your waiter/waitress when ordering.  These flyers are in this week's bulletin, and also available at the Church and School offices.  Thank you in advance for your support of Emmanuel's School.

After some very solid debate and discussion, the Voters' Assembly approved switching to the Lutheran Service Book at it's regular March meeting.Members can purchase copies for their own use or for the congregation (optionally in memory of a loved one) until April 27th.  See bulletin inserts for details.

No date for receiving and dedicating these new hymnals has been selected as of this time.

During Bible Class hour this morning member had a chance to ask question about the new Lutheran Service Book. The Elders and Pastors have recommended adoption of this hymnal and today was a chance for members to make statements regarding it and ask questions.

The session went rather well and will be continued next week. At next weeks Bible Class hour a 20 minute video about this hymnal will be presented.

If you are interested, please plan to attend this informational session! And, if you are not a member of the Voters' Assembly, make plans to attend future meetings since this body has the final say over adoption of this hymnal.

When you attend a fair, carnival, or circus you often may see a side show. People try to get you to see wild animals from Africa or the world’s tallest man. Really, all they are interested in is to get you to purchase an extra ticket so the event can make money. Christmas is God’s great holiday of love.

Attached is our 12/17/07 Monday Note.  May the Lord bless us this week as we journey closer to the manger.

Where do we see Christmas? In papers, magazines, stores, and decorated windows? Do we see Christmas at home where Mom is busy buying gifts and wrapping them and Dad just put up the tree that you have to decorate? Something special is going on, something important is about to happen. What should we be seeing? The candles of the Advent wreath and the paraments on the altar talk about repentance, about sorrow for sin, and about the need for a Savior. To see what we should see at Christmas we must look in the right place, God’s Word.

Our 12/10/07 Monday Note is attached.

Some of you have seen a “wanted” poster at a post office or courthouse. The poster describes the person and tells the reason the person is wanted by the police for arrest. None of us would want to be the “wanted” person, guilty of a crime. But there is one who was wanted and needed by every person. How badly was He needed?
