❖ Education needs some leaders! We are in need of 10 individuals that would be
willing to lead a Sunday School classroom. Our goal is to have 2 leaders per age
group, those leaders can trade off what Sundays work best for them to teach. I
would also like at least one helper per grade to assist those teachers. Our classes
are anywhere from 8-15 kids so the more help the better Sunday School goes.
Even if you are only able to help one Sunday a month or a few Sundays a year, we
would love to have you! Please get ahold of Rachelle 940-4496 or
emmanuel57004@gmail.com and let me know how you are able to help!
❖ August 18th will be the annual Blessing of the Backpacks. Kids please bring your
backpacks to the 9:30am service.
❖ RALLY SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH BEGINNING AT 9:30am IN THE BASEMENT
o There will be a quick breakfast and parent meeting.
o Information and sign up for FROG and LYO will take place as well as
registration for Sunday School. Parents please plan to attend so we can get
registration forms done before the start of all education activities!
o There will be an informational meeting with 7th & 8th grade families about
confirmation following the parent meeting on Rally Sunday. Pastor will go
over his expectations and start getting kids signed up for acolyte.
o 3 year olds and 3rd Graders will receive bibles on Rally Sunday. If your child
is not on the list for receiving a bible or has not received one of these bibles
please get ahold of Rachelle and she will make sure your child is added!
❖ Thank you to everyone that volunteer food, money & time for the upcoming Community
VBS in the park!

Kate Andal called the meeting to order.

Committee Reports
Christian Education: Blessing of the backpacks will be on 8/18/19. Cross clip key chains will be distributed to children.
Preparations are being made for rally Sunday, 9/8/19; all students are invited and confirmation families will also be
given information. The congregation is sponsoring bibles for children receiving them. Families of confirmation students
are asked to give $10 donation for the cost of their child’s confirmation book. Emmanuel is participating in Community
VBS at the park. Donations are being accepted for VBS crafts and snacks. Andrea is asking youth and congregation to
donate duffel bags for foster children.
Properties: Tree branches fell east of church and were removed. Concrete is breaking up at the church northeast
entrance and a quote for repairs has been requested. Otis Elevator Company came for an extra call to reset the
elevator. The storage shed on the north lot is in bad shape. Volunteers are always needed in helping with repairs and
upkeep of the church property.
