DONATE BLOOD
Monday, May 9
1:30-6:30PM
Dousman Community Center
The May Community Blood Drive is in
honor of the late Richard Stephan who
lost his battle with leukemia in 2012.
Richard was a life-long Dousman
resident with a passion for his
community. He served 48 years on the
Dousman Fire Department. (note from
Donna- during my parents declining
years they lived on the 3 Pillars
Campus. We had need to call for ambulance service on a
number of occasions and Richard was ALWAYS one of the
people who responded with the ambulance no matter the time
of day or night). He was also passionate about blood donation,
having donated more than 100 units during his lifetime.
The need for an adequate blood supply is ongoing. Your
donations are what supply all of our local hospitals. A number of
our members have in the past or are currently benefiting from
the availability of donated blood products.
Please consider taking an hour out of your day on May 9th to
give a unit of blood. You may make an appointment online at
www.bcw.edu/dousman or by calling Carole at 262-965-2384.
Walk-in donors are also WELCOME!
EXTRA ! EXTRA!
Emmanuel U.C.C.of Dousman, WI helps its national ministries
become successful and sustainable.
Really? How can we do this?

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Palm Sunday started out with the movie "The Prodigal Son" and
was a big hit! Thank you to Peggy Hazelberg for coming up with
this great idea and putting it all together. The kids did a
wonderful job portraying this story. Way to go! On Easter Sunday
the children took part in an Easter egg hunt. We started our next
set of lessons on The Disciples. The kids learned what it means to
"fish for people" as we are disciples teaching others about Jesus.
The Disciples will be the topic for the rest of our lessons this school
year. Our last day of Sunday School will be May 22.
There are still lots of opportunities to be Acolyte...please sign
up...watch for continuing sign up genius requests! And thank
you for helping. And don't forget to bring in some extra money if
you can for our offering. At the end of the year the money will
be donated to HAWS.
Thank you!
The Christian Ed Team.
