FOCUS: The Immanuel family is working to fill the shelves at the FOCUS Food Pantry before Easter. Over the next two weeks, we will have paper grocery bags available after worship for you to take home and collect needed items. Each bag will have a “most needed” supply list attached with suggested items.
Snow keep you home this week? That’s OK. Feel free to stop by the church throughout the week to pick up a bag, or simply fill a grocery bag you have at home.
On Palm Sunday, we can bring back the filled bags and place them into the FOCUS delivery truck. We look forward to this opportunity to serve community!
Spring Break at School: The Scrip Office and School Office will have special hours this week due to Spring Break. The Church Office will be open for normal hours for the week: Monday through Thursday, 9am to 3pm.
Memorial Stones: Honor or commemorate someone important to you with a memorial stone in Immanuel’s Memorial Garden. A new batch of engraved stones will be ordered soon.
Those interested may pick up a pamphlet by the Red Wall, fill it out, and return it to the Red Wall or to the church office. New orders are due by April 1. This batch of stones will be placed in the garden by late spring.

On Friday, March 27, we will be cleaning the floor of the sanctuary in the morning. At 1pm, we are looking for volunteers to help move the chairs back in the Sanctuary and place them for out in their rows. Again, contact Jonathan Blum if you are able to help on March 27.
Thank you in advance!
