The Mission Endowment is a standing Commi ee of the ELC Council. The assets of the Emmanuel Mission Endowment are owned by the Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Moscow, Idaho. The Mission Endowment Commi ee is responsible for all Mission Endowment leadership and management ac vi es. Its major objec ves are to encourage, accept, acknowledge, invest, and make distribu ons from the Mission Endowment at the direc on and approval of the Council and congrega on. The Commi ee works with other standing commi ees, Council, and the congrega on to iden fy, screen, and recommend mission work and projects that may receive funding as directed by the congrega on.
On All Saint’s Sunday, November 1, 2015, the Emmanuel Congrega on:

Fellowship Hour; votes on which Mission groups will be awarded

Star ng This Sunday In Adult Sunday School “The Prophets” with Pastor Daugs
This Sunday, October 11, 8:30 AM, join in the Fellowship Hall as Pastor Daugs facilitates “Embracing the Prophets in Contemporary Culture” ‐ a six‐session study
by Walter Brueggemann with Tim Scorer. Walter Brueggemann, arguably America’s leading Old Testament scholar and theologian, takes us on a wild ride through the poe c prophecy of the Hebrew Scripture, iden fying cultural contexts, pu ng a framework to Israel’s history, and, most significantly—and at mes challengingly!—drawing connec ons between Israel’s sociological, economic and
spiritual status and that of America today.
Session 1: Moses, Pharaoh, the Prophets and Us Session 2: The Prophets as Uncreden aled Purveyors of Covenant Session 3: Moral Coherence in a World of Power, Money and Violence Session 4: The Shrill Rhetoric that Breaks Denial Session 5: The Grief of Loss as Divine Judgment Session 6: The Promissory Language that Breaks Despair
Join us! 8:30 AM, in the Fellowship Hall.

Sunday’s Scripture Segments Scripture readings for Sunday, October 11, 2015,
The Twen eth Sunday a er Pentecost:
Amos 5:6‐7, 10‐15 Amos was a herdsman by profession and a prophet by God’s call. During a me of great
prosperity in the northern kingdom of Israel, the prophet speaks to the wealthy upper class. He warns his listeners that fulfilling God’s demand for jus ce brings blessing,
while corrup on and oppression incur God’s wrath.
Hebrews 4:12‐16 We cannot hide our thoughts, desires, and ac ons from God, to whom we are completely
accountable. Nevertheless, Jesus understands our human weakness and tempta ons, because he also experienced them. Therefore we can approach the throne of grace
to receive divine mercy from Christ.
Mark 10:17‐31 Jesus has been teaching his disciples about what is most valued in God’s eyes. Now, a conversa on with a rich man brings his message home to the disciples
in a way that is surprising but unforge able.
Sermon Title: “ And all the children are above average.” by Pastor Dave Daugs
