Mother’s Day Reflection from the Joyful Noiseletter

God gave the world sun and there was warmth.
God gave the world rain and there was life.
God gave the world mothers and there was love.

The One Time Job Shop
A new, fun and easy ministry is starting at Emmanuel's
Church! Check out "The One Time Job Shop" board
which will be upstairs and downstairs with "one job"
information slips. How does it work? When a request is made by a
committee member, it will be "posted" on the board. You grab your
"job ticket", complete the task, and your commitment is done! A sim-
ple way to serve that greatly helps out the church, and doesn't burn out
our "repeat" volunteers!! THANK YOU!
