PRESCHOOL

Watch us grow

Bothell Community Preschool is  very excited to announce that we opened Monday, Sept. 14, in our new facilities at the end of a yearlong process. We now enjoy multiple classrooms and more spacious surroundings for our little ones to learn. Additional classes and an expanded schedule is available. MORE ...


GUATEMALA

3 hearing aids
for kids come
from car wash

Our youth held a car wash Saturday, Sept. 12, and raised $566 for the purchase of two hearing aids for children in Guatemala. The Mission Committee will add another $250 to the total to buy a third hearing aid.

Lori Mercer of our congregation will take these hearing aids and others to Guatemala as part of a wonderful mission by audiologiists in the Northwest to help Guatemalan children hear. Learn more about it here.

Many thanks to the Thrashers Corner Dairy Queen, 20511 Bothell-Everett Highway, for making its parking lot and water available to our youth.
Occupancy permit signed Friday, Sept. 11

The preschool opened Monday, Sept. 14, in their wonderful new classrooms. We're aiming for a worship service in the new building on Sunday, Sept. 26.

Pastor Steve and Rena' were both moved into their new offices in the main building over the weekend. The pastor had a lot of unpacking to do.

Lots of construction related equipment and supplies continue to occupy space in the various storage areas and in the middle of the fellowship area. Dozens of small projects remain to be completed here and there throughout the building, including a multitude of cleaning tasks.

The mobiles are virtually empty. Deconstruction has begun on the ramp from the preschool mobile and can begin now on the ramp and stairs from the office mobile unit, so that both can be removed from the site.

   
HUNGER

Hopelink, this month's focus, is hurting

Hopelink has not been receiving adequate non-perishable food donations to fill the requirements of the many needy people. Emmanuel's Mission and Outreach Committee wants to help. HopeLink logo Committee chair Anne Schwarz says Mission and Outreach has set a special Church collection of non-perishable food for the first Sunday of each month. (Communion Sunday). On Oct. 3, bring your donations to the Food Box to the left of the sanctuary doors.

Hopelink is especially looking for canned tomato products and any size or variety of pasta. We will also collect non-perishable food items for Hopelink any time you have them. Just bring them to the church office and let Rena' or Pastor Steve know they are for Hopelink.

STEWARDSHIP

Welcoming
the Future...

That's the theme of this year's Capital Stewardship campaign, which kicked off Sept. 20, with the consecration of the campaign leadership during Sunday worship.

The 25 leaders will be recruiting team members to assist with advance commitments, planned giving, bible study, a video, a prayer vigil, a banquet, hospitality, enrichment gatherings, commitment visits, youth activities, follow-up and resources.
The campaign will allow us to expand our ministry through our annual budget, pay our mortgage and reduce our debt.

Important dates for the Emmanuel congregation, most of which are linked to the campaign this fall, include:

Oct. 17: Saturday Open House for the community

Oct. 18: Dedication Sunday for the new facility

Oct. 25: Sunday School Art Day

Nov. 6-7: 24-Hour Prayer Vigil

Nov. 7: Mission Concert

Nov. 15: All-Church Bible Study after Worship

Nov. 21: All-Church Banquet

Nov. 22: Commitment Worship, wrapping up the public portion of the campaign

Dec. 6: Celebration Sunday, announcing the results of the campaign
BACKPACKS

You filled them up

The children and youth asked your help in filling backpacks for the Backpacks for Kids program of our community in August, and you really responded.

This was truly a Godsend for the many children could not afford even the basics of school supplies. By the end of the month, Emmanuel supplied Northshore students many backpacks full.

New gear particularly appreciated were backpacks, binders, divider sets, paper, pocket folders, spiral-bound notebooks, colored pencil sets, Crayons, erasers, glue, highlighters, markers, rulers, pencils, pencil boxes, pencil pouches, pens and scissors.
