Wednesday Wireless - Immanuel's Weekly News Update
Parish Picnic at Whitehall This Sunday
Our annual parish picnic will be held at Whitehall on this coming Sunday, September 17!

Chicken will be provided. Please bring a side or dessert and contact Boo Elmore at patchocotton@aol.com with any questions about the picnic.
United Thank Offering
Immanuel's annual United Thank Offering (UTO) wraps up this week. UTO ingathering will be held on this coming Sunday, September 17, so please bring your UTO boxes to church.
CornerStone
Thanks for your continued support of CornerStone's food pantry! September's suggested donations are: fish, vegetables, and beans.
Adult Formation
After a long summer break, Adult formation will resume on September 24. We will gather in the library following refreshments to continue our study of Matthew. Our focus in this class comes from the work of N.T. Wright, a prominent New Testament theologian. "Tom" Wright emphasizes Jesus as Messiah and Teacher and proposes that His life announced the Kingdom of God on earth. Please join us even if you weren't able to come last year. No preparation is required. For information contact Joan Beal.
Adult Christian Education has a new name at Immanuel: Adult Formation. Engaging the Word in community is one of the ways that we can deepen our spiritual lives and be formed for ministry.
Choir Rehearsals
Choir resumes on this coming Sunday, September 17 with a 9am rehearsal before the 10am service. Choir will rehearse on Wednesdays from 7pm until 9pm September 20 through October 11, when it resumes its normal 7:30pm until 9pm Wednesday rehearsal schedule. See director Jimmy Hicks for more information.
