Sunday’s Scripture Segments

Scripture readings for this Sunday, August 2, The Tenth Sunday a er Pentecost, are:

Exodus 16:2‐4, 9‐15 A food crisis becomes a faith crisis for the Israelites in the wilderness.

The hungry people forget God’s saving work in the exodus, and they wish for the food they had in Egypt. Nevertheless, God miraculously meets their needs,

with manna for bread and quail for meat.

Ephesians 4:1‐16 Chris ans share fundamental unity and diversity. Our unity consists in the one body,

one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one bap sm, and one God. Our diversity is expressed in various forms of ministry, whose goal is

equipping the saints and building up Christ’s one body.

John 6:24‐35 Many of the five thousand people Jesus fed in the wilderness con nued to follow him

throughout the countryside. Jesus challenges them to consider the real nature of their quest.

Sermon Title:

“How do we make sense of Jesus?”

Pastor Dave Daugs

YOU CAN HELP CHANGE THE WORLD! Every Sunday this summer Mission Endowment (ME) is helping to collect items for baby, hygiene, and school kits. One week, one item at a

me we will Change the World! Check out the Servant SCOPE on Pg. 9 in the Emphasis for more informa on!

This Sunday, August 2, is Bath‐size towel Sunday! (Dark color recommended, about 52” x 27”.)

Our Passion for Compassion will Change the World!

MISSION ENDOWMENT GIVES AWAY MONEY from the Endowment every year! That’s right, we do!! And we need your help to make that happen. Look for the request form in the Church narthex or on the website, fill it out and return it to the Church office by the due date (October 11). Then plan to a end the All Saint’s Potluck (November 1) where you will describe your project (in 2 minutes or less) and vie for votes. Having trouble deciding which non‐profit we should support? Look at the ELCA website for ideas. We solicit requests for local, regional, and interna onal groups.

COMMUNION IS A WALKING COMMUNION. You may take the bread and then drink from the common cup or from the small glasses. Grape juice (yellow) is in the middle of the tray and wine (red) is on the outside of the tray. A er you have communed you are welcome to kneel at the rail for prayer.

CORDELIA FREE SUMMER CONCERT. On August 9, 2 PM, enjoy the sounds of Jon and Rand. Rand Walker and Jon Anderson will perform great music of the past 40 years.

NEWS FROM LUTHERHAVEN! Did you know? Lutherhaven serves more that 4,500 kids each summer at Camp Lutherhaven, Shoshone Mountain Retreat, Shoshone Creek Ranch, Idaho Servant Adventures and at Lutherhaven Day Camps around the Northwest. This summer we also helped program camps for the Army Na onal Guard, Idaho Drug Free Youth, the Air Na onal Guard, Idaho firefighter training, Hospice of Spokane and North Idaho, and the North Idaho Catholic Youth Camp! Learn more about our camps at www.lutherhaven.com

Thanks to all who helped pull together for the Church‐wide Picnic last weekend at Ghormley Park!

Special thanks to Kim Campbell and son Charlie, who sent out emails, bought burgers, dogs and chips, and generally rallied

the troops to help. Pastor Daugs, Larry Lass, Ron Landeck, and the rest of the "guys" who got the barbeque over. And everyone who showed up with chairs and food and

enjoyed a great lunch with friends. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Thank you!

Help ME Change the World

Every Sunday this summer Mission Endowment (ME) will be helping to collect items for baby, hygiene, and school kits.

We need your help! One week, one item at a me, we will Change the World!

August is Collec on for School and Health Kits

August 2: Bath‐size towel (dark color recommended about 52" x 27") August 9: 70‐sheet notebooks of wide or college ruled 7" x 10 1/2" (no loose‐leaf paper) August 16: Blunt scissors (no sharp ones) or 30 cen meter rulers August 23: Pencil sharpener, unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers, or 2 1/3” long eraser August 30: New ballpoint pens (no gel ink), boxes of 16 or 24 crayons

Check this space for weekly reminders!

Our Passion for Compassion will Change the World!

MISSION ENDOWMENT GIVES AWAY MONEY from the Endowment every year! That’s right, we do!! And we need your help to make that happen. Look for the request form in the Church narthex or on the website, fill it out and return it to the Church office by the due date (October 11). Then plan to a end the All Saint’s Potluck (November 1) where you will describe your project (in 2 minutes or less) and vie for votes. Having trouble deciding which non‐profit we should support? Look at the ELCA website for ideas. We solicit requests for local, regional, and interna onal groups.

What would like to do?

Here’s an idea! Make a posi ve impact on the Sunday experience of all who enter here!

Flowers are indeed an enhancement to our worship space. Their significance is evident when we celebrate blessed occasions such as marriages and

anniversaries and births. A flower’s beauty and scent comforts us as we mourn and remember loved ones who have died. For centuries, flowers have held a significant role in the house of God. I believe we can all agree that weekly floral arrangements offer much to

our worship se ngs here at Emmanuel. This Servant Opportunity can’t be any easier! Just contact the church office (by phone,

email, or just stop in!), let us know what day you wish to provide flowers, bring your gi to church on Sunday and place it on the Altar, then take it home to enjoy a er service!

It’s that simple! Arrangements can be from your garden, from wheat or twigs, from a flower shop, or ???

Please see Deb Dumroese if you have any ques ons. If you wish to dedicate to or memorialize someone, please let CindyMarie know before the

Emphasis: Weekly Edi on deadline. (Usually Wednesday’s at 8 AM.) Thank you for your service in this important ministry!

1‐150802 ‐‐ 9

Hi! CindyMarie here.

I am at a disadvantage! I have served with you for over 6 years now,

and many of you I s ll only know by email and phone!

I, for one, would sure like to get to know you be er! Please send a short bio

and some pictures of yourself and family to me in the Church Office!

It will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Emphasis: Weekly Edi on!
