Several Ways to Assist; Meal Train for the Roderer Family

As many of you have learned, Immanuel member Kathy Roderer has become seriously ill, which has affected her husband Kurt and their daughters, who are now caring for their parents. A Meal Train website has been established for Kathy & Kurt with several ways to assist the family. You can sign up to bring meals, volunteer to visit with Kurt and keep him connected with our community during the daytime, or donate funds to help the family financially. To learn how you can help the Roderers, click the button to visit the Meal Train for the Roderer Family page.

Eyeglasses & Hearing Aids Collection

Do you have any out of date glasses (spectacles) around that you don't use? How about hearing aids? Don't throw them away. The Lions Club collects them, refurbishes them, and puts them in the hands of people who can use them, but otherwise could not afford them. Don't have a handy Lions Club box to put them in? No problem. Three Crowns Park has one. Just bring them to church and give them to Steve Warner, Jim Miller, or Bert Mount and they will deposit them in the Three Crowns box.

Poinsettia Orders for Christmas

As is tradition at Immanuel, we're planning to have poinsettias adorn the sanctuary for Christmas Eve and Christmas. If you're interested in ordering poinsettias, order forms are inserted in the worship bulletins on Sundays. Please give your completed form and payment to an usher. Or, you may complete a form by downloading the form below, completing it and sending it to parish-admin@immanuelevanston.org. Send payment to the church office. Deadline for ordering is Sunday, Dec. 8th.

Important Notice

Immanuel has stopped accepting donations (kitchen/housewares, clothing) of all kinds for the migrant community, until further notice. Please spread the word to your family and friends. We thank all of the volunteers both within our congregation and in the greater community who helped to receive, sort, clean and pack the various items which were distributed by our partnership with Chi Welcome and others. Your generosity became expressions of love, support and comfort to a people in need of connection.

Thank you all for your heartfelt support of this important ministry!
