Adult Ministry

Adult Sunday School

Emanuel presently offers an Adult Sunday School Class led by Chris Peper on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m.

Health Ministry

Emanuel's health ministry emphasizes a person's wholeness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Our activities include:

* Educational programs
* Monthly newsletter articles

* Participation in United Way's Coming Alive exercise challenge
* Host for a Red Cross Bloodmobile in June

Dart Ball

The men of Emanuel take part in the Northwest Ohio Lutheran Dartball League which is made up of men from the ELCA congregations in this area. It provides for an evening of friendly fun and fellowship with men of our faith. The evening is usually followed by a light refreshment provided by the host congregation. Play begins at 7:30 pm unless other arrangements are made.

Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America

Every adult woman member of Emanuel is automatically a member of the WELCA. It is their choice to be active or not. The organization has an elected governing board of officers. The group also elects the Altar Guild members and Filling Home Guild representatives. Regular activities include:

* Monthly Bible Study
* Serving at funerals and Lenton Coffee Hours
* Delivering Meals on Wheels
* Making quilts and kits for Lutheran World Relief
* Sponsoring a missionary
* Keeping the kitchen supplied
* Sponsoring a Mother-Daughter luncheon
* Purchasing items for the church, such as altar cloths and hymnals
* Holding a Thankoffering Service

Prayer Chain

Emanuel has an active Prayer Chain ministry, and people may make requests for themselves or for someone else. Once received, the request is forwarded via e-mail to approximately 30 people and via telephone to 17 people. Prayer requests are always welcome and should be directed to the church office or the Prayer Chain coordinator, Carol Castello, by phone at 419-592-0847 or by e-mail at cjcast@henry-net.com.
