2 Part membership Class - Oct 25 & Nov 7

If you’re not available for either of the classes, let us know via the registration form and we can talk about alternatives with you. Food provided. Register for childcare. Registration
The Brementown musicians - November 1
The first concert of the EPC Concert Series will be Prelude Opera: The Brementown Musicians, an opera designed for children but enjoyable for all ages! It is an adaptation of a fairy tale best known in its Grimm Brothers version. Reserve free tickets HERE.
Bowery Women’s Dinner - November 7
Sign ups are available to serve a meal at the Bowery Women's Center in the new year. On the first Saturday of each month, we organize and serve a meal for 30 people. Consider if you (and your HFG / friends) would come serve one month! Learn more about this opportunity.
Guess who’s Coming to Dinner - November 14
Sign up for an evening of good food, fellowship and fun! Participants sign up to either host or attend a potluck dinner, and it is left a mystery who is going where. This is a great way to deepen existing relationships and make new friends at Emmanuel! You’ll be assigned an address, but keep it a secret so you don’t spoil the surprise! Please sign up by Nov 1, 11:59pm.
Parent Gathering: Elementary - November 15
The next Parent Gathering will focus on parenting elementary age kids. Together we'll encourage one another through teaching and discussion on parenting, family life, and our church's theme: Behold the Glory of God. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Please RSVP to help us plan.
