The Central Tri-State WMF Fall Rally was held on October 10 at Hauge Lutheran Church in Kenyon. There were 32 ladies in attendance with several from Emmanuel attending. Thanks to Dorothy and Ann who volunteered to serve the morning coffee. Pastor Adam Osier with Home Missions was the speaker.
Confirmation Sunday was on Sunday, October 25, with Stella Haugen as our confirmand this year. The WMF supplied the flowers and also served cake for coffee time. Thanks to Carol for taking care of the flowers and to Cindy for making the cake. God’s blessings to Stella as she continues to grow in her Christian faith.
The WMF Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 10 at 1:00 PM. Devotions will be by Sue Davidson and our hostesses will be Carol Gjemse and Wanda Yngsdal. This meeting is for ALL the ladies of Emmanuel. If you have any comments, concerns or are interested in a board position, but are unable to attend, please let one of the officers know. Our agenda will be reviewing our donation contributions, planning the 2027 calendar of events, discussing any other business and the election of officers to the board. We will also plan our December Sunday lunch to be held following the church service.
We will again be collecting hats, mittens and quilts (that are in good shape) for the Marie Sandvik Center in MPLS.
Please return your fall mission envelopes as soon as possible to Carol Gjemse. Carol sends those funds to the WMF Headquarters to be used for WMF projects. Those projects are Christian Education, Home Missions, World Missions and the WMF General Fund.
A reminder that our coffee time is at 10 AM. There is a sign-up sheet on the basement bulletin board for serving. Coffee needs to be started BEFORE the 9 AM bible study. The coffee pot can always be ready the night before and if you let Pastor Rob know he would plug it in. A 30-cup pot does take 30 minutes to brew.
As we prepare for Thanksgiving let us remember Psalm 107:1: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever”.
Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, November 3!! Your vote does matter.
