5 INFORMATION Flowers at the altar today are given by Cliff and Marge Clemons in memory of loved ones. THANK YOU! There will be pie bars served at Coffee hour today. Thank you to all the volunteers that worked and to those that donated to the German Supper Monday. Christ in Our Home Devotional Booklets have arrived. You can pick one up on the table in the gathering area. SOUND SYSTEM UPDATE The Technology Group is starting the process of updating our sound system. We are looking for volunteers to help with this process. The work will be carried out on week day afternoons and on weekends and should be completed by December. Jobs include (but not limited to) setting up & testing new sound equipment in the sanctuary and in the Youth Center, cabinet building, and organizing materials. Long term, we need people to operate the new equipment, so this is a great way to get in on the ground level and learn how the new system works. Please contact Jerry Randall at jerry_randall@hotmail.com ( ).

6 Operation Christmas Child National Collection week is Nov Gift boxes can be placed by the altar starting Nov. 1 st. The final day to bring boxes to Immanuel is Nov. 18 by the end of the 9 AM service. They will then proceed on this journey to find that special child awaiting the good news and a box filled with gifts of a lifetime. Pamphlets with labels, packing instructions and bookmarks will be available starting the week of Oct. 8 th. Watch for our display boards and boxes for your convenience in the Narthex and by the office entry. Coloring sheets/letters for the children to enclose in the boxes will also be on the display tables. A DVD will be in the office to check out if you would like to learn more and see wonderful results from this project. We would like to encourage members and friends to complete a box and enclose postage. Who would you like to team up with to shop and pack a box, a relative, friend, Neighbor or confirmand? Make it a fun fulfilling experience that can change lives! Want to try a warehouse sorting event? Reserve a spot by phone or online, as an individual or group. Lastly, thank you everyone for again spreading the love of God to all corners of the world.

9 Connection Cards. We are using what we call Connection Cards which are found in the hymnal racks. People in the pews are asked to share the same information they have in the past but in a different format. There is the addition of a perforated card at the bottom for visitors to take with them for information or for members to tear off to give to someone to share about Immanuel Lutheran Church. All volunteer sign-ups will be through an additional ½ sheet insert or eventually through our Welcome Center. There is now a Prayer Request tab on the website. You can put your request on it and it will go straight to Jensine Turner and Pastor Paul. If you don t have access, contact Jensine Turner at or jensineturner01@gmail.com.
