Thank you to Bonnie Silvetti for the beautiful fresh flowers from her garden that were used as altar flowers a few Sundays in August.
Thank you to the Engler Family, at the consistory meeting on August 23rd we received a donation of a brand new Philips Heartsmart AED from the Engler Family in honor of Eddie Engler. Emmanuel was the 2019 recipient of their annual AED donation. We are very grateful to the Engler family and hope to never need to use it. But the peace of mind it brings having it available to our congregation as well as guests who utilize the fellowship hall is priceless. We do plan to honor Eddie with a memorial plaque to be hung with the AED.
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
