Immanuel Family and Friends – help us Serve Community by donating blood through Immanuel’s blood drive! On Wednesday, July 9 Immanuel will host the blood drive in our Mission Center. Donation times are available from noon to 4pm. Never donated blood before? Great – we are happy to have you! Previously donated blood but looking for a new place to give? Immanuel is looking to be a consistent collection site. Again – we are happy to have you! All of us have seen the life-saving impact of donated blood. What an important way for all of us to serve community! Please reserve your space today!

FOCUS Neighborhood Meal
Each Thursday night in Wisconsin Rapids, the FOCUS Neighborhood Meal serves over 100 meals for free to community members. Many area organizations help serve these meals throughout the year.
Immanuel’s next turn to serve this meal will be on Thursday, July 10. It takes about 20-23 people to serve the meal. The five different jobs are greeting, plating/clean-up, beverage table, dessert table, and table servers. Immanuel’s leaders for this project are Patty and Dennis Hall. You can register to help by using your Church Center App, by stopping at the Red Wall, or by using the link below.

Thank you!
The past week saw more work outside on our landscaping. A small but dedicated team planted flowers near the memorial garden, finished our last parking lot island, added rock mulch and borders, spread bark mulch, and prepared the site for a sidewalk in front of the church. Another team watered the new trees, shrubs, and flowers each day. Inside, more small but dedicated teams finished painting and finished the main woodwork in the front office. And another very dedicated team kept the entire place clean. To these members, and to all who serve community at Immanuel, we say THANK YOU!
This weekend, a professional team began installing the ceiling tile grid in our office space. They should be nearly done by the end of the week. This will allow our electricians to begin placing the lights for the space in the ceiling tiles, as well.
We will continue to landscape this week, but our work will depend on the weather.
Finally, we will likely have our concrete sidewalk poured in front of the building sometime this week. Please stay off of the sidewalk at all times until we state in the announcements that it is safe to walk on it.
If you would like to help us get the office buildout done on time, please consider giving to our office buildout fund. We are requesting $19,000 in donations to finish this project – with gifts given being matched dollar for dollar.

Our second request: We are asking that everyone who has a smartphone – members and guests, both husbands and wives, adults and teens, technologically savvy and not-so-savvy – to download the Church Center App for your phone.
It’s simple! Go to your App Store or Google Store, type in “Church Center,” and select the app with the logo like the picture above. Allow the app to know your location, and Immanuel will appear at the top of your list. Select Immanuel, enter your cell phone number, and you are ready to go!
