ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sunday Worship: We Will Again Offer Both Online and Outdoor Worship this Sunday, July 5, at 10am. The Reverend Andy Bossardet will be preaching the word to us. Andy is a good friend of Pastor Tom's and also the Coordinator for equipping thriving congregations in the RCA.
July Calling Team: Please call Rick H or Julie L with any special concerns or requests.
July Mission of the Month: Judson’s Love Clothing Center provides clothing for school aged children, serving over 800 children during the months of August and September! We have the opportunity to be a part of that great effort by collecting new and gently used clothing during the month of July. All children’s clothing is helpful, but especially needed is: new socks and underwear, and new or like new school uniforms. Judson’s goal is to provide a week’s worth of socks and underwear for each child. There will be a box for donations just inside of the church entryway on the bench, on Sunday mornings during the Outdoor Worship Service time. You may also make a monetary donation towards this very worthy cause.
Search Team Update: The search team continues to meet each Wednesday and is working diligently to develop an ICRC Church Profile Form, which is an important document for the overall pastoral search process. We are in the midst of writing content and gathering photos of our life together, that will be included in it and be used to update the ICRC website. If you have any concerns about appearing in potential photos, please let Michelle C. know promptly. Thank you for your continued support and prayers for the search team.
Sunday Outdoor Worship: It was a great service last Sunday as many gathered outdoors at Immanuel to worship together. Some stayed in their cars listening to the service on 1630 AM radio, and others brought pocket chairs and sat in the parking lot. The sun was bright, the sky was blue, and a light breeze brought comfort from the direct sun! The service lasted about 50 minutes and we were on our way!
We also had a mostly successful recording live on Facebook for online viewing! The only glitch we know of was a sideways picture and we have figured out a solution for this so that all of our online worshippers can continue to stay at home where it is safe and join in Immanuel worship!
Shade is in Short Supply Outside of the Church Building: We will be setting up pop- up canopies to sit under if you prefer to worship outside of your car. If you have a pop-up tent/ canopy that you would be willing to let us use on Sundays, please let us know, drop it off (labeled please), or bring it with you as shade will be a relief on these warm summer days!
Thanks to All of You that Have Volunteered to Help on Sundays in Order to Keep us all Safe!
Thank You for Your Continued Tithes and Offerings: The ongoing ministry of the church relies on the generous giving of its members. Even though we won’t be gathering at the church building you may submit your tithes and offerings online via our website at, www.icrclansing.org, and then click on “Giving” at the top of the page, or you may mail them to our office at 3200 Delta River Dr., Lansing MI, 48906
