LITERACY PROGRAM FOR LOCAL KIDS - Resuming in March

Emmanuel partners to help young children with basic literacy skills at the Grant Houses (123-125 streets). This year, dates are divided into semester blocks.  Sign up to indicate the dates you are available to serve.  The program is from 10:45am-1pm. Volunteers arrive by 10am to help with setup.  Curriculum and support provided. No experience with teaching is necessary.  Contact jane@emmanuelnyc.org with questions.

Join the EPC Choir

In preparation for our Easter service (4/20), we invite you to participate in the EPC Choir. Everyone is welcome! Rehearsals will take place on Sunday, 4/6 (after service), 4/13 (before service) and 4/20 (before service). For more information, please email our Classical Music Coordinator, Sohyun Ahn.

membership Class: March 2 & march 8

Join us for part 1 of our two part spring membership class on Sunday, March 2, and the following Saturday morning, March 8. We think it is important to commit to a church, so if you are deciding whether or not to commit to Emmanuel this is a chance to learn about the church and ask your questions. If you know you will commit to Emmanuel, this class is a prerequisite for joining. If you hope to join but are not available for one or more of the classes, let us know via the registration form and we can talk about alternatives with you. Childcare available. Part 1: Room 307, 12:30-2:30pm.

CM Retreat Prep gathering - March 15

Come be a part of the fun on March 15th from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM at the Interchurch Center as we prepare snacks, crafts, and activities for our Children's Ministry Spring Retreat! Help us make this year's retreat extra special for our EPC kids as we bring our camping theme to life. Room TBA. Sign up. Reach out to cm@emmanuelnyc.org with questions. 

Thinking about Sexuality as disciples: Part 2 - March 23

If we are following Jesus, and aligning the whole of our lives with him, we will inevitably have to work through questions of sexuality.  These issues may be personal, as we seek to understand ourselves and how to live, but also social and relational as we inhabit a world where understandings of sexuality are rapidly changing. The second of 3 classes will be March 23, 12:30-1:45pm, room 307. Part 3 will be 4/13.

No In-Person service in NYC - March 30

Most of our church will be at our annual Spring Retreat, March 28-30. There will be no in person service in NYC that Sunday, March 30. Anyone not at the retreat can stream the Sunday service at our usual time, by visiting our service streaming page. 

Bowery Women’s Dinner - April 5

Sign up to serve a meal at the Bowery Women's Center.  On the first Saturday of each month, we are looking for one person to plan the meal (for 15-20 people), and a few others to join in preparing the food. You'll arrive around 3:30 to begin preparing, and dinner is served at 6pm. EPC reimburses the costs of the meal. Consider if you (and your HFG / friends) would come serve one month!  Learn more about this opportunity.

Isaiah Sermon Schedule

In the Isaiah sermon series we are covering 30 passages from the book.  Some of you may want to read the sections in between (the ones that will not be preached on), or read the passage for the sermon prior to coming to church.  You can access the schedule HERE.
