Join us as we ordain our new deacons.

Sunday, September 17 at 5pm. We will have an ordination service, immediately followed by a reception.

Dinner for Eight is for EVERYONE! These dinners are an exciting new way for the people of Emmanuel to connect with one another. It is also an opportunity to invite friends and neighbors who don’t have a church home to experience Christian community informally. The emphasis is on fun and fellowship, so you don’t have to be a great cook to participate!

Modeled on what Jesus loved to do (see Luke 5, 9, 19, and 22) – We invite you to share meals and Christian fellowship with new friends!

Dinner for 8 Basics:

• Groups of 6 people gather once a month for a meal.

• The groups’ goal is to invite another couple or 2 singles into their group for dinner, making their group a Dinner for 8.

• This is not about meeting with your current circle of Emmanuel friends. This is about meeting new people you might not otherwise connect with, and connecting those new to Emmanuel with those who call Emmanuel home.

• Each month, a different couple will be in charge of hosting. It can be at your home, favorite restaurant, or a picnic in the park!

We had a great kickoff of Embrace Grace with our first session taking place last week. We are encouraged by your prayers, and the volunteers that have signed up for dinners, rides, and child care are an immense blessing. Without your help this ministry would not be possible. Saying "thank you" is not enough to express our gratitude for the support and love of our church family.

Our most immediate needs are for financial means to purchase the materials for graduation and the baby showers in December. If you are interested in knowing more about how you can help please reach out to Chelsea Simpson, Kelly Metscher, or Katie Ramirez.
