Please be in prayer for the call committee and the process. Please pray that the right pastor is connected to the team and that the Call Committee is open to God’s leading them to Immanuel.
Dear Immanuel Community,
I have been blessed to serve you. When I signed up to be your “Bridge” Pastor, I understood that I would be here until the Johnson’s arrived. I signed my contract through June. This limitation was because of previous obligations. Unfortunately, the Johnson’s decided not to follow the call at Immanuel, and the community remains in the process of calling a new pastor.
Though I prayed about staying at Immanuel, my previous obligations remain. This has nothing to do with anything regarding Immanuel. I truly enjoyed my time working with the community. You are an amazing congregation, and I have been blessed to worship and work with you. Unfortunately, this season has come to an end.
Please continue the welcoming work that you have been doing, serving your community, and blessing your neighbors as the Spirit leads you. I wish you much love and continued peace as you journey as followers of Jesus Christ.
Gratefully,
Pastor Norm

You are welcome to pick up a book, sign the list, and join us.

Sunday Snacks
Recently we have had several Sundays when those folks signed up to bring snacks have not supplied them. If you are signed up and unable to provide please trade with someone else or bring a non perishable snack to the church earlier in the week and leave it in the kitchen with a note. If you wish to be removed from the snack rotation please notify Barbara in the church office (360-736-9270) however if you would like to be added to the rotation again please let Barbara know. The rotation involves providing snacks about once every 6 weeks. When it is your turn please provide enough for about 36 servings. There is a list of current families in the kitchen.
