Please plan to attend the meeting to ensure a quorum is met and to bring your voice to the future of Immanuel.
Food Drive
Due to a multitude of reasons our area food banks are very low on supplies. We collected a total of 784 lbs of food! Great job.
We always have baskets out in the hallways around the kitchen to receive your donations of food for the Salvation Army. Let’s keep filling the baskets for those les fortunate than ourselves.
Book Club
We met on January 7th to discuss A LONG PETAL OF THE SEA, written by Isabel Allende. There were several story lines within this book. We all admitted it was a difficult read with many graphic pages on war. The plot examines life during an age when immigration was not a choice. We could not help but make comparisons to present times. The story also wrestled with ideas of “home” and change. All in all, we recommend this book. Our next book, BLACK CAKE, written by Charmaine Wilkerson is available in the coffee shop. We will be discussing it at our meeting on February 4th at 10:00.
Reminder…..please return books by the day of discussion.
Sunday School
Sunday School is meeting on Sunday mornings at 9:30 (before worship.) All ages of young people are welcome! Please join us in the Kids Corner (old nursery next to the sanctuary.) We’re experimenting with
pre-worship Sunday School so give it a try!
LGBTQ+ Night
We will be meeting at the church this month for LGBTQ+ Game Night on Friday January 16th at 6:30 pm.
