Environmental Stewardship Ongoing

We collect selected items for recycle and hope to gradually increase the numbers. Can you help? We collect
· Old cell phones which are reprogrammed for outgoing emergency numbers only. These are given to those in need. If you know of anyone who may be in need then talk to Todd Clark who has the information
· Manufacturer’s coupons which are given to the military.
· Empty inkjet print cartridges. Please wrap in paper or put in the original box when you replace with a new cartridge. We receive money for these cartridges which we use for our Outreach projects.
You will find collection boxes for these items in the Russell Hall. For more information speak with Gill Keyworth (281-493-3161).

Confirmation Workshop Saturday, April 10 9:00 – 2:00, If you are ready to be a confirmed member of the Episcopal Church, this may be for you! The workshop will have sections on church history, liturgy, scripture, and Christian life.
This is for those who desire to be baptized, want to confirm their baptismal vows, or are confirmed in another tradition and want to be received. It also is for those who are already confirmed in the Episcopal Church but now want to reaffirm their baptismal vows; perhaps you were away from the church for an extended time, or perhaps you have had significant faith event in your life.
Contact Pastor Janie in person or by rector@emmanuel-houston.org or 281-493-3161.
