Sermon Q&A
We’ve created a new way to continue the conversation beyond Sunday. If you have a question about today’s sermon, we invite you to submit it through our Sermon Q&A form. We’ll respond to selected questions in our mid-week or Saturday email.
Monthly Class: Relating - January 11
In this month's class we will consider the desire within each of us to control how people perceive us and how that hinders growth in relationships. The gospel promises an experience of freedom from being concerned about the judgment of others, but most of us have a lot of progress to make in this area. Let's process this for our own sanity as well as better interactions and deeper relationships. Lunch will be served. We will have enough food for all who registered, plus some extra. All are welcome, whether you registered or not. 12:30pm, Room 307
Children's Ministry Training: Grow Conference - January 18
Join us for a Children’s Ministry CDM Grow Conference watch party on January 18 from 12:30–2:30 PM! We’ll gather to watch training sessions together, break into small groups for workshops and discussion, and encourage one another as we grow in serving our children. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Please register by EOD Monday, Jan 12. Room 307
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - January 31
Sign up for an evening (6:30-8:30pm) 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! Sign up here. Please sign up by Jan 18, 11:59pm. You’ll be assigned an address, but keep it a secret so you don’t spoil the surprise!
Morning of Prayer - February 7
Twice a year our church gathers for an extended time of prayer together. We guide you through times of singing, silent prayer, meditation on scripture and intercession. 9:30am - 12:30pm, Interchurch Center (61 Claremont Ave), Sockman Lounge. Please register to help us prepare for food and childcare. All are welcome regardless of registration.
Bowery Women’s Dinner - February 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.
Room on Our Pew Survey
If you haven't already, please take THIS brief, anonymous survey. It takes less than 5 minutes and will help us better understand how our church currently relates to families impacted by disability. This is part of our ongoing relationship with ROOP. Learn more about this effort here and here.
