Easter Sunday - April 20

Join us on Easter at our regular service time, 10:30am, for a special service.  After the service, all children up to 6th grade are invited to participate in our annual egg hunt. Right after the service, we’ll head straight outside for the egg hunt. If possible, please bring a basket for your child. We will have bags on hand for anyone who doesn't have one. Afterward, please join us back inside for some treats and fellowship!

All Church Lunch - April 27

We are happy to provide monthly church lunches. Join us this month directly after the service in the James Chapel.

Meet the Candidates - April 30

At the May 4th congregational meeting, members will vote for two Mercy Team candidates, Rachel Talbert and Bhia Flores.  We are hosting a time to interact with them over Zoom.  Join us on Wednesday, 4/30, from 8-9pm.  If you missed their personal stories at church on 4/6 or 4/13, you can watch them here.

Bowery Women’s Dinner - May 3

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.

Congregational Meeting - May 4

Please join us after the service, 12:30-2:00pm, to hear reports, see a draft of the 2025-2026 budget, and ask questions or raise suggestions.  The session will be presenting candidates for Mercy Team.  Lunch and child care will be provided. Members, please make every effort to attend. All are welcome!

LITERACY PROGRAM FOR LOCAL KIDS - Through May

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.

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.
