Emmanuel Life & Times June and July 2017 Summer Ministry Reflections On Sunday, May 21, we celebrated another year of our Awana ministry... Our Awana group had over 30 children and students in weekly attendance and 15-20 weekly teachers and helpers. Each Awana class gave a report of their activities and projects and then sang one or more of their class songs. Awards and t-shirts were given out to the students for their Bible work. One thing that Rowena said stayed with me: the children in our Awana program memorized collectively over 1000 Bibles verses this year. 1000 Bible verses committed to memory. Think about this and give praise to God. As we read, study and memorize God's Word it convicts us of sin, directs our lives, comforts us in trials and transforms our heart. I praise God for the leadership of Jonathan and Rowena and the good work of all our Awana volunteers. Vacation Bible School will offered on Sunday - Thursday night, June 11-15 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Begin to pray now that God will bless this important summer outreach. I have really enjoyed the "Believe Series" by Randy Fraze that we have been using; the study takes us through the basics of the Christian life in 31 lessons. Each study has a creative video teaching by Randy Frazee, an illustrated Bible story, a key idea, question and memory verse. In June and July we will be learning from Part 3 of the Believe Series. Part 3 - Who am I becoming? Topics include: Love, Joy, Peace, Self-Control, Hope, Patience, Kindness/ Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Humility. Believe classes are offered on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. and Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. Summer Evening Services will be offered in June (except for June 11/ VBS kick off) and August at 6:30 p.m. There will be no evening services in July. I plan to use the month of July to get away on vacation, to rest, plan and pray.

Financial Update: Giving through the first quarter has been strong with $156,000 given through April. Our first quarter expenses through April were $149,000. Thank you for your generous giving. Our Capital Debt (the money we owe for the rear entrance and elevator project of 2008) is now down to $68,000.

Emmanuel Life & Times June and July 2017

Summer Ministry Reflections

On Sunday, May 21, we celebrated another year of our Awana ministry... Our Awana

group had over 30 children and students in weekly attendance and 15-20 weekly teachers

and helpers. Each Awana class gave a report of their activities and projects and then sang

one or more of their class songs. Awards and t-shirts were given out to the students for

their Bible work. One thing that Rowena said stayed with me: the children in our Awana program memorized

collectively over 1000 Bibles verses this year. 1000 Bible verses committed to memory. Think about this and

give praise to God. As we read, study and memorize God's Word it convicts us of sin, directs our lives, comforts

us in trials and transforms our heart. I praise God for the leadership of Jonathan and Rowena and the good

work of all our Awana volunteers.

Vacation Bible School will offered on Sunday - Thursday night, June 11-15 from 6:00

- 8:00 p.m. Begin to pray now that God will bless this important summer outreach.

I have really enjoyed the "Believe Series" by Randy Fraze that we have been using; the study

takes us through the basics of the Christian life in 31 lessons. Each study has a creative video

teaching by Randy Frazee, an illustrated Bible story, a key idea, question and memory verse. In June

and July we will be learning from Part 3 of the Believe Series. Part 3 - Who am I becoming? Topics

include: Love, Joy, Peace, Self-Control, Hope, Patience, Kindness/ Goodness, Faithfulness,

Gentleness and Humility. Believe classes are offered on Sunday mornings at 9:30

a.m., Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. and Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.

Summer Evening Services will be offered in June (except for June 11/ VBS kick off) and August

at 6:30 p.m. There will be no evening services in July.

I plan to use the month of July to get away on vacation, to rest, plan and pray.

Sunday morning speakers in July will be as follows: July 2: Jonathan Delgado/ Youth Sunday,

July 9: Lori Frees: A Mission Update; July 16: Rowena Sizemore: The ABC Bienniel in Review;

July 23 and 30: Jonathan Delgado.

Financial Update: Giving through the first quarter has been strong with $156,000 given through

April. Our first quarter expenses through April were $149,000. Thank you for your generous

giving. Our Capital Debt (the money we owe for the rear entrance and elevator project of 2008) is

now down to $68,000. The Finance Team will be sending out a mid-year financial update and challenge for us to

consider paying off this remaining debt as soon as possible so we can begin to look at other church facility

projects that need attention.

Serving with you, Pastor Kurt Busiek

Music News from Pam McClain

Music Department Season Overview

As we delve into the summer months, the chancel choir will take a well-deserved

break from the loft. Our last anthem of the season, “Shine, Jesus Shine”, portrays the

spirit of this years’ choir. So many gave of their time and talent to shine the love of

Jesus through song. I thank all who made this season one of inspiration.

Highlights included…

Our fall worship/workshop/tailgate experience, our Christmas and Easter

presentations that included youth, children, trumpet and choir, the African Children’s

Choir, guest violinist, Claire Dent, the Praise Team ministry, Chris Redmond’s

return, a choir Christmas party hosted by Judy Prater, concerts by the Parkersburg

Choral Society and the PHS A Cappella Choir, monthly birthday celebrations and

the addition of new choir members.

The summer will feature special music and guest musicians. Hopefully, this could also be

a time where you answer God’s call to join our music ministry. Our members would

welcome you with open arms. Look for the choir’s return in late August.

As always, if you are have questions about the music program, please contact me at [email protected] or

at (304) 483-1620.

HEALTHY EMMANUEL NEWS

FROM EILEEN MAYER

Healthy Taste of Emmanuel Dessert Bar

For the Young Life Lunch on May 7th, we coordinated with Missions Ministry to

provide a Dessert Sampler Bar of sweets that were tasty and healthy. Thanks to you all for supporting us and to

our great Bakers: Larraine Metheny, Maria Keen, Marisa Gentry, Judy Prater and JoAnn Boggs.

Healthy Bodies/ Healthy Spirits Workshop

The Health Ministry Team - under the invaluable support of Adult Ministry – hosted a Healthy Bodies/ Healthy

Spirits (HBHS) Workshop on May 13, 2017. We had two goals for the Workshop. We had two Workshop goals:

1) Gather people from local churches and ministries to brainstorm together ways to encourage healthy behaviors

of people of faith; and 2) Learn simple techniques to cook healthy and apply them to make (and eat together) an

inexpensive, delicious meal!

Praise God, both goals were met! Almost 40 total of 36 persons from 8 local

churches and ministries attended the Workshop. Joshua Sowards from First

Baptist Kenova (and director of the state HBHS and WV Try This) shared his

extremely moving and motivating personal testimony on health. Then, he taught

us: what God’s Word teaches about caring for our bodies, what other WV

churches are doing to improve health, which resources are available to help, and

how to make a good health promotion plan. With our new colleagues, we

brainstormed plans for the future. We ended our work with a fun “Body Break”

and shoulder-rub!

Next, Jason Oesterreicher (former apprentice, The Greenbrier) took the stage with his portable

stove and gave us an excellent cooking demo on how to make Black Bean Burgers and salad with

Lime Pepper Dressing. After, volunteer “Culinary Students” joined him in our kitchen to create

these items for our shared lunch!

None of this could have happened without the support of those who served as planners, hosts,

scribes, photographer and “Culinary Students” including Judy Prater, JoAnn Boggs, Keith

Mayer, Larraine Metheny, Elissa Filozof, Karen and Steve

Cox, Jean Farrah, Jennifer Lemley, Jane Graham, Maria Keen, Sally

Beckwith, Rowena Sizemore, Peter Ianniciello and Carlene Cox. Our “take

home gifts” were heirloom tomato plants grown – and donated – by Steve

Metheny. We were also blessed by the invaluable help of Sherry Ellem and

Chris Berg from Wood County Health Department. The event was so

positive that many participants asked about the “Second Annual HBHS

Workshop”!

Upcoming –

Our health ministry efforts have garnered state level attention! We have been invited to present at the Try This

WV state conference June 2, 2017 at WV Wesleyan. We will be represented by Marisa Gentry!. Please pray

the Lord will use her mightily to inspire others to better health.

Thank you for your support!
