All are welcome to worship with us this Advent and Christmas season. Details will be listed on our website and shared in our weekly Thursday email. Of special interest for kids: our Saint Nicholas Celebration on December 6 at 11:00 and our family worship service on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. If your child would like be a reader in our Christmas Eve service, please email Katie before November 15.

Please consider making a life saving donation! The day before Thanksgiving from 10:00 until 2:00 Emmanuel will host our second annual Team Tyson blood drive. Lots of people are off work and school that day - make an appointment here (use code TeamTyson) or just swing by.

Our neighbors at Christ Lutheran will be hosting our community service this year on November 24 at 6:00 This is a really neat way to start the holiday season with kids, reminding everyone how to be thankful and how to keep prayer as our center.

On Saturday, November 21, the Youth Group will be shopping for and delivering kits to those in need at LifeWise StL. There is no cost to attend this event. Meet at Emmanuel at 10:00, we'll carpool to the store, shop for necessities, head back to church to assemble the kits, grab some lunch together, then deliver to LifeWise before heading back to Emmanuel for pick up. Whew! It will be a fun and enriching experience. Contact Tessa Weiland or Katie Gregston for more info! ALLLL kids in grades 6th through 12th are welcome to attend!

We’re asking everyone to save the dates of June 1–10 for our upcoming Puerto Rico trip! The exact travel dates have not been finalized yet, but we will be traveling for just a few days within that window, not for the entire 10 days.

Everyone entering 6th grade and up is invited, including middle school students, high school students, college students, and adults of all ages, including older adults. Younger children may attend if accompanied by a parent.

More details, including the exact travel dates, will be shared as plans are finalized, so for now, please save the date and start thinking about joining us in Puerto Rico!

Our formation for kids is off to a great start! We have something for all ages, every Sunday, until May. We are looking for two more leaders to help these classes succeed. Contact Susanna or Katie if you can help once a month!
