June Mission of the Month:  Christian Radio is a blessing to which we can tune.  On our FM Dial we have SMILE 88.1, SHINE 95.3, Family Life Radio 99.9. On the AM Dial 1390 (GREAT Quartet time on Saturday morning), and 1580.  If you know of others, please share them with us.  We all need to take advantage of these resources!

Children and Worship.  Please note that there is no more Sunday School, so please gather your children right after church ends!

Congregational Meeting:  TODAY  is our annual update on the life and ministry of Immanuel.  We will also be considering Julie Lewis and Kerri Miller for Deacons, and Marcia Jackson and Sue Feenstra for Elder.  Please be in prayer for this meeting and these people so that we will clearly hear God’s leading for our ministry in Lansing. 

Video presentation:  Tod VanWieren has composed a presentation for the potluck before the congregational meeting. Come and see what God has done at Immanuel!

 Missions:  There are some needs for one of our summer mission sites in Alger, MI.  They need to get Life Jackets, youth, adult and X-large for the Mission Site; also they are in need of a gently used fridge.   Please call Cecile and Liz S. if you can help!

Summer CONNECT:  OK, we are looking forward to our next get together on Wednesday June 27th.  It is “glitter and glue” night, with creation stations, including a great “make and eat” snack!  Start inviting friends.  All ages are invited.
