We had a great time at Emmanuel’s Easter Egg Hunt this morning! Thanks to everyone who came and for our wonderful helpers! A special thanks to Tyler Coker and Pastor Adam for being our “Egg Runner” and letting the Children chase you! The 3D eggs were wonderful and the kids enjoyed coloring them after the Easter Story!

Our Lil’ Lutherans enjoyed a wonderful Valentine party this morning. We engaged in crafts, played bingo, participated in a conversation heart race, and concluded with a delicious lunch featuring pizza, chips, and desserts. A big thank you to everyone who planned and assisted.

In Person Worship Cancelled

Out of an abundance of caution, in person worship has been cancelled for tomorrow. While we do not yet know how much (or how little) ice/winter weather we may have tonight and tomorrow morning, our executive team has made the decision to cancel in person worship. Please stay off of the roads if you are able to make room for first responders and power line employees. Pastor Adam will post a sermon and meditation on youtube and facebook tomorrow. You do not need a facebook account to be able to view the video.

Please check on your neighbors if your are able, and know that God is with you!

May God's peace be with you now and always.
Pastor Adam

Faith is not something we have to "get right." It is a free gift of God's grace, and this grace is meant to change how we respond and live in the world. Our faith should help us be more loving, compassionate, and kind to others.

What was Emmanuel up to today? We spent most of the morning sharing God's love with our community. We gave out plenty of presents from our Angel Tree, continued passing out coats from our coat drive, gave out Christmas decorations, and served food to over 70 families complete with a ham for Christmas for 52 of them! Of course we invited everyone to worship with us on Christmas Eve (and every Sunday!) These are just some of the ways we are called to serve. Come join us as we give to God through the people of this community!

Sin and brokenness are communal, because when one suffers, we all experience some from of brokenness, but John the Baptist reminds us that the Kingdom of Heaven has come near. As we wait for the coming messiah in the Advent season, let us remember the ways in which God's forgiveness brings us new life.
