Family TALK June 15

		HAPPY FATHERS DAY Sunday is a day to celebrate our Dads.  What a great gift they are as provider, protector, and preceptor.  However, let us also remember that there are those around us who do not have a Dad or have a Dad who is not involved in the same way they once were.  So, give thanks to God for all the godly men in your lives and who are influencing others.  Whether Dad, granddad, uncle or mentor.  Who has made a great impact in your life or your child's life?  Give thanks to God for them.
			COOKOUT Summer get together! August 16, come cook out with the Faris family at our home (39 E. 20th St) from 11:30am to 1:00pm.  This event is open to all families and volunteers in the Children's Ministry.  Come and go as you wish.  All those involved play an important role.  Let’s get to know each other better and celebrate what God is doing. Hot dogs, chips, and beverages provided.  RSVP by July 31 by emailing Dave Faris at dave@immanuel.cc.
			LOVE ON PURPOSE The distractions of life often make it difficult to show love to our spouse. Since love is shown through purposeful and consistent action, we need to find ways each day to make the expression of our love a priority. Just as we study God's Word to know Him better, we must also study our spouse to know what makes him or her feel loved. Ultimately, love is from God, so we can ask Him to help us love our husband or wife better each day. (From “thrivingfamily.com”)
