February 10 is Ash Wednesday.
Do you know the symbolism of the day?
From ancient times, ashes have been used as a symbol of mourning, penitence, grief and
humiliation. In his pain and sorrow, Job 'sat among the ashes' (Job 2:8). The Old Testament book of
Numbers and the New Testament book of Hebrews indicate that ashes were also used for purification
(see Numbers 19:17 and Hebrews 9:13).
Christians have had an old tradition of using ashes made from the palm branches used
on the last Palm Sunday. Priests and ministers have often used the ashes to make the sign of
the cross on a believer's forehead as part of the Ash Wednesday ceremony.
The ashes symbolize the Christian's intent to repent of sins, to accept purification from the Lord, and to make a public witness of one's faith in Christ
as Lord and Savior.
Since Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, the ashes symbolize one's intention to deepen his or
her spiritual life. Lent is a time for spiritual renewal and growth in dedication and service.
In preparation for our Congregational Meeting on February 21, 2016, 11 AM, please notice the special insert which includes the meeting agenda and an introduction to our 2016 Church Council Candidates!
We hope to see you at this important Congregational Meeting!

Sunday’s Scripture Segments
Scripture readings for this Sunday,
February 7, 2016, Transfiguration of Our Lord, are:
Exodus 34:29-35 Moses’ face shone with the reflected glory of God after he received the ten commandments on Mount Sinai. The
sight caused the Israelites to be afraid, so Moses wore a veil to mask the radiance of God’s glory, taking it off when he spoke directly with God.
2 Corinthians 3:12--4:2
In his debates with the Corinthians, Paul contrasts the glory of Moses
with the glory of Christ. The Israelites could not see Moses’ face because of the veil. But in Christ we see the
unveiled glory of God and are transformed into Christ’s likeness.
Luke 9:28-43a
The conversation about Jesus’ suffering and death is enclosed in a
dazzling foreshadowing of the resurrection. God affirms Jesus’
identity, the disciples are stunned speechless, and Jesus resumes his mission with a demonstration of his
power over evil.
Sermon Title: “Moses Face”

What would
YOU like to do?
Here’s an idea! Make a positive impact on the Sunday experience of all who enter here!
Did you know? EVERYONE can serve!
Look for opportunities to serve; don’t wait to be asked! Remember: You can serve without being a part of an “official” ministry.
We all can: extend the word of welcome, whether or not we
are official greeters; be listening, caring friends, whether or not we are
official lay counselors; be ready to give reason for the hope that is in us,
whether or not we are on the evangelism team; be enthusiastic participants and ready to give a
hand, whether or not we are on the planning or cleanup committees;
OR… you can sign up!
Asked to be placed on the monthly Servant Schedule! Try something new!
Contact the office and say you want to be on the schedule to serve as a Greeter! Assisting Minister! Usher! Communion Assistant! Acolyte!
Reader! Bring Altar Flowers! Be a Counter! Help with J.A.M.! Let us know!
What would YOU like to do? ______________________
There are many ways to be involved
in the ministries at Emmanuel. Just let us know what you hold interest in,
what your gifts are, what you like to do! Your help is always needed and appreciated!
