Breath Prayer for the Week
“Have mercy, Lord, and show us your will.”
July 2017
It is that long awaited time of year in the U.P: summer. Although, it
hasn’t seemed like summer too many days so far this year. Never
the less, things have slowed down at Emanuel. There is no Sunday
School, Adult Forum, or Middle School Faith Formation. There are
no extra services or immediately upcoming church festivals.
This is called Ordinary Time in our lectionary and church year. The
color in the sanctuary will be green for the summer and into the fall.
It is a time of growth. So as you enjoy warm weather and the out-
doors, in whatever way you like most, I hope and pray that summer
will be a time of renewal and growth for you.
Meister Eckhart, a German theologian born in 1260 said, “If the only
prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.”
So, as you enjoy the summer days, give thanks to God for all that
God has provided.
God’s Peace and Joy be with you always,

Annual Holiday Bazaar Update
We need your help to make our annual bazaar a success! How can you help now? While
you’re visiting garage sales, thrift store, craft store sales, etc. keep an eye out for things we
use to decorate wreaths and make crafts: ribbon, decorative birds, pine cones, bird nests,
feathers, floral wire, votive candles and holders for yule logs, picture frames, mat boards, can-
dles of all sizes, holiday glass plates for cookie sales, etc. We are also wanting your hand-
crafted items along with our quilt for our raffle. Soon we will have a table in the fellowship hall
with craft ideas and patterns you can help make for our bazaar! We will keep you updated
throughout the fall!
In Our Church
Quilting Group Our quilters are hard at it again, making quilts for Lutheran World Relief and for the Annual Holiday Bazaar and Quilt sale in November. Join the fun on Tuesdays, starting at 9:30 AM at Toni’s home. Also keep in mind that the quilters could always use supplies: cotton or cot-ton/polyester sheets that are at least full size, fabric, and poly-cotton blend thread.
Adopt—A—Highway
Let’s help keep our U.P. beautiful! As always this is a team event. We divide our section
of highway into four sections. Most sections only take a couple hours to do. Please sign up
with a spouse, son or daughter (must be 12 years or older), or a friend. The sign up sheet
is in the fellowship hall. Summer clean up dates are July 15-23. If you have any questions
talk to Roger Kimball.
