1 Preceding Sunday, June 7, 2015 Issue #: Emmanuel Lutheran Church 1036 W A Street, Moscow, ID Phone: Fax: emmanuelmoscowid@gmail.com Web: MQM? What s THAT? The Membership Question of the Month (aka MQM) is a fun and painless way to get helpful information (on a wide variety of topics) to the Church Office. Over the life of this program, the staff in the church office have gathered the congregations thoughts, ideas, and feedback on things such as new church publication formats, participation in church programs like completion of Time and Talent Surveys, what format of worship bulletins are preferred, and it has been a great asset in gathering current contact information such as full names, phone numbers, addresses, etc. How does it work? Every month or so there is a new MQM printed on the Welcome! Card inserted in your worship bulletin. All who supply a completed card and a reliable MQM answer is entered into a drawing. The winner of the random drawing receives recognition in all our church publications and a prize! The drawing takes place when we move on to a new question (about every 4-6 weeks). Your participation in this program is sincerely appreciated, as it gives the church office staff valuable information to help us do our job better for you. Thanks for helping us out! Congratulations to our latest MQM Winner! Steve Fountain Steve, your MQM prize is on the file cabinet in the church workroom for you to pick up! Thanks again!

Leader: Deb Marsh J.A.M. Assistant: SERVANT NEEDED Reader: Dorothy Schnaible Ushers: Vern Kinnison Mitzi Houska Irv Johnson Greg Colvig Virginia Colvig Thank you! What would like to do? Here s an idea! Make a positive impact on the Sunday experience of all who enter here! There is no fast rule, but usually this servant opportunity is reserved for our younger members. There is a special significance to what the acolyte does. First, an acolyte lights the candles. This signifies that the Holy Spirit is in the place of worship. By lighting the candles, you show those who worship that God is present in this house. When you extinguish the candles at the end of the service, you are signifying that the Holy Spirit is leaving the place of worship in everyone s hearts. Lighting and extinguishing the candles generally indicates the start and the end of a worship service. Acolytes dress in robes, quietly carry torches, crosses, thuribles, alms basins and cruets. A vital part of worship, they blend into the background helping our liturgies flow smoothly, and rejoicing in the privilege to serve at God s altar. If you are interested in serving as an Acolyte, or you have children that you feel might wish to serve in this role, please speak with Pastor Daugs.
