Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church
Stratford, Wisconsin
News from our Weekly Bulletin
After prayerful consideration of the latest recommendations from public authorities, we have decided to cancel all activities at Emmanuel through April 24. We hope to resume worship services on Sunday, April 26 if circumstances permit.
We'd love to be able to say that God wouldn't let us get sick from coming to church, but that sounds too much like the devil tempting Jesus to throw himself down from the highest point of the temple. We'll respect the advice of public authorities and trust God's continual care.
Missing: One of our church keys attached to a list of altar duties has gone missing. If you’ve used it recently, please search your coat pockets and couch cushions!
NLHS Wood Shop Wish List: We have 14 students in our woodworking course. Equipment is needed and will be deeply appreciated. While new equipment is certainly desirable, used items in good working order are acceptable. As always, we thank you for your consideration and generosity.

Handicap Parking: Each of the two signs at the front of our carport is intended to reserve two spaces, for the four handicap spaces required by law. Please leave those spaces for vehicles with official handicap plates or cards. It would be frustrating for those who need them to find them blocked by non-handicap vehicles.
If you would like to park close to the building, please do so along the north side, where the exterior door to the Fellowship Hall will be unlocked. Or ask one of our ushers to park your car for you.
