On February 27th, Emmanuel youth hosted the
Central Youth rally. It was a great success. Thanks
to all the youth who attended and helped out.
The next upcoming event is the Spring Retreat.
The spring retreat will be April 16-18 at Twin Oaks in
Buda. If your youth would like to attend, see
Elizabeth Flores or Maurice Rodriguez for a
registration form. The forms are due Sunday, April 3rd.
Please make plans to attend. This is a great
opportunity to meet other youth from our district
and to fellowship with those we already know. Our next
youth fundraiser will be in May for Cinco de Mayo. More
details to come.
God's Blessings,
Sunday School News
We give thanks to God that our Sunday school attendance has been increasing over the last three months. In December, the average Sunday school attendance was 59, in January 72, and in February 73. As our Sunday school attendance has increased, so has our Sunday school offering. In December, the average offering for Sunday school was $39.14, and for February, it was $53.84. Praise the Lord!
We want to give special thanks and praise for now being able to offer a Sunday school class for young adults. The class, which began in January, is being taught by Leticia Estavillo and centers on the reading and discussing of the book, Godology. We thank Leticia, as well as all our other Sunday school teachers and substitute teachers, for allowing the Lord to use them as instruments for His work.
All study in Christian Education is for the purpose of learning and digesting the word and allowing it to transform and mold us in the image of Christ. Let us continue to encourage one another to come together on Sunday mornings to study God's word. Bring a friend!
Vacation Bible School 2010
Vacation Bible School or VBS has been tentatively scheduled for late June. The coordinators for this summer's Vacation Bible School are Anita Marquez and Cynthia Nieto. We give thanks to the Lord for their willingness to serve in this capacity.
The theme for VBS 2010 is Hero Headquarters: Where Kids Join Forces with God! At Hero Headquarters, kids will meet five unlikely Bible heroes who are often overlooked. They were not famous leaders or called by God to perform amazing miracles - yet their small acts were used by God to do wonderful things! Kids will discover that if they're willing to be used by God in any situation, no matter how big or small, they can make a difference. With God's power at work, they can be heroes right where they are!
Anita and Cynthia will soon begin recruiting volunteers for VBS. Please consider serving the Lord and Emmanuel United Methodist Church in this capacity. Details regarding VBS, including specific dates and times, will soon be forthcoming.
