The Central Tri-State District Spring Rally was held on Saturday, April 11, at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Cannon Falls, MN. Emmanuel had nine ladies attend. Thank you to Jan Strand who served the morning coffee. Andrew Olson, Missionary on Loan with They Need the Bible, was the guest speaker. The theme was “Tell Me The Stories Of Jesus”. The Women’s Retreat at the ARC was on Saturday, April 25. Several ladies had planned on attending.
Ann and Tamra will be distributing the quilts that had been tied in March to Ruth’s House in Faribault and Hope Coalition in Red Wing. Two quilts will also be given to the family that recently had a house fire in Wanamingo township. It was also decided to donate a quilt to the Rachel Nesseth Food and Blanket Drive.
On Sunday, May 17, we will be recognizing the following seniors with refreshments and a quilt presentation; Micah Trost, Abram Tennessen, Virginia Johnson, Amelia Kispert, Karlee Bolton and Logan Martinson. We are grateful to our quilters; Ali Coulter, Ann Romo and Karen Melhouse for their time, talent and thoughtfulness in making these quilts. We wish these seniors all the best as they embark on a new chapter in their lives. May God continue to help guide their paths.
Please remember to check your mailbox for the Spring Mission Envelopes and get them back to Carol Gjemse; our treasurer. Those funds are sent to the WMF Headquarters and are used to fund WMF projects. You can find more details about those projects on the yellow cover sheet of your 2026 WMF booklet.
Just a reminder that Wednesday, June 10 will be National WMF Day in Moorhead, MN. Our Guest Night Salad Supper will be on Tuesday, June 16 at 6 PM. All Emmanuel ladies are asked to bring a salad to share and invite guests.
Please remember to check the coffee sign-up sheet that is posted on the basement bulletin board.
Our farmers are getting out into the fields, so please watch out for slow moving equipment. The grass is greening up fast so get your lawnmowers ready!!
Isaiah 61:11: "For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations."
