MY WALK IN FAITH
Thursday Evening Services We need you! To do what? To offer (oneself or one’s service) for some undertaking or purpose, to give, bestow, or perform voluntarily: to volunteer a song. This definition of a volunteer fits exactly the need we have. At the end of the Summer 2007 Thursday evening services, the Doctrine and Worship Committee was asked to consider extending the services throughout the year. The Committee has been working to start Thursday evening services beginning March 27 to go through November 20. Here is what we have been able to accomplish so far. The assistants are ready, the Altar Guild is prepared, and we have two organists who are willing to play for the services once a month each. That leaves 2 services without music! If you are able to lead others in song, sing praise songs, play an instrument, provide appropriate recorded music, or whatever else you might be able to do to assist with the music for the services, please contact Pastor Castello, Tom Jenny, or Susan Landversicht.
Soul Food Finale
Upcoming menus for the last 2 weeks of Soul Food:

Adult Bible Study
We are continuing our regular schedule of Bible Study every Thursday morning at 9:00 am. The evening
Bible Study will be included as part of the Thursday evening Services at 7:30 pm.
The study will focus on the Bible lessons for the upcoming Sunday.
Prayer Chain
I beg forgiveness from all of you “links” on our Emanuel Prayer Chain – by e-mail and/or by phone.
Our home computer “died” recently and had to be replaced, and I have not had the “electronic knowhow”
to retrieve all the old “stuff” and transfer it to my new computer (and, of course, I DIDN’T have
any of it backed up!!!), and so ... there has been an obvious and sorely-felt lack of chain communication.
Thankfully, you all keep praying with or withOUT the chains!

We are now having open enrollment for our Good News Preschool. We will have lots of

Parking
The Video Store across from the church graciously allows us to use some of their parking
spaces on Sunday morning. Too many spaces were taken on a recent Sunday
(good for us - bad for them). They have asked us to limit parking to the outside
spaces. Thanks for your consideration.
Hospital Stays
A new Federal Law greatly restricts the disclosure of patient information by hospitals. As a result
the pastor and the church office may not know that a member of the church has been admitted
to the hospital. If you are hospitalized and would like to notify the pastors, it is important
that you (or a member of your family) inform the church office as soon as possible. Call the
church office at 419-592-2616.
Remember, hospitals can no longer provide this information to the pastor.
