Hear the promise of Christ, our Lord: "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die."

Please keep the family in your prayers, that they might be comforted by "the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting."
David will be buried this Saturday, 10:30 a.m. at Hillcrest Cemetery in Norfolk. A memorial service will be held here at Immanuel on Saturday, November 4th at 11:00 a.m. Blessed are those who die in the Lord.

If your family (or a couple of families) would be willing to mow the lawn on a particular week, please sign up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board. The church has two riding lawnmowers that can be used.

These funds are used to pay the lawn mowing service ($120/mowing, contracted for one week per month) and to supply gas for the church mowers. If you have any questions, contact one of the Trustees.
