Emmanuel Episcopal Church was established in 1858. The first wooden structure was destroyed by a storm. The present building was erected in 1872 on a meager budget by faithful souls. They dug native fieldstone from nearby farms and used sand from Lee County creeks to make the mortar. For many years the interior was largely bare and furnishings were slowly added. The Church is the oldest public building in the city of Opelika and among the oldest buildings in Lee County. Emmanuel has been a mission church for most of the 150 years of its existence. In 1996, the architectural firm of Holmes & Holmes of Mobile, Alabama was employed to plan and supervise the renovation of the original building. The firm was asked to maintain the building’s architectural integrity, so while structural problems were corrected, the original appearance of the chancel was largely restored.

We love our furry friends! 🐾❤️

These are just a few of the beloved pets of our Emmanuel parish family — and they’ve inspired us to help pets throughout our community, too!

The Emmanuel ECW Pet Food Drive is collecting dry dog & cat food (11 pound bags or less) for the Community Market ahead of our Blessing of the Animals on October 4.

Help us fill a bowl! 🐶🐱

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.
-Ignatius Loyola

A.M.D.G.
Members and friends of Emmanuel participated in a Parish Retreat yesterday focused on the teachings of Ignatius of Loyola. The prayer centered day featured talks, conversation and sharing, Eucharist, and Holy Silence.

We give thanks for a beautiful day in community and especially thank our leaders Calvin Anglin and Candy Williams for their facilitation.
For the Greater Glory of God!
