TGIF
Welcome to another edition of TGIF – Thank God It’s Friday! And Thank God I’m Forgiven!
Here are some things to be thankful for:
- For those of you who made over and above donations to the work of Christ at Immanuel. We finished the year well in the black, thanks to generous donations that came in during December.
- Pastor Marcus Carlson who is offering his services free of charge – is currently coaching council members Deb Koop and Char Kinzer in our application for an intentional interim pastor.
- Youth Events – last Wednesday our youth group attended the BAY (Brainerd Area Youth for Christ) Rally at the NP Center in Brainerd. This weekend, around fifteen youth and other adult leaders will be at Camp Shamineau near Staples for a winter retreat weekend. Last year, there was no snow on the ground and it was well below zero the entire weekend!
- Wing and a Prayer will be providing music for worship this Sunday – dress warm!
- The topic for this Sunday and the following week in our “Believe” congregational learning event is “Spiritual Gifts.” If you want to do some biblical snooping about spiritual gifts, check out 1st Corinthians chapters 12 and 13.
“Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:20)
