Emmanuel Lutheran Church

For the month of June, our ladies Circle met for the last time ’till September. We began with our usual chatting and eating. I can honestly say that Pastor ate an entire foot-long sub (but only ate the insides for the second half). I think his appetite might be shrinking!!! We caught up on all that has been going on in our church. It is nice that Pastor is there to answer questions and keep us in touch with some of the things going on. And we keep him up with how we think about things.

Next we had our Bible session. This month it was on prayer. We are instructed to pray always, day and night. But how many of us do? Do you still pray before meals and at bedtime as you did as a child? We discussed when we do pray, how our habits and prayers have changed and looked at passages in the Bible that provided us with insights into these ideas.

We ended with a prayer for special people that we know who need some extra encouragement and with the Lord’s Prayer. I am hoping that we will pick up some ladies next year who used to come and haven’t been coming, or some new faces with whom we can share our faith, good food and good conversation. Have a great summer!
