SERMON REWIND
Have you ever wanted to speak up during a sermon and say, “Pastor, can you repeat that last comment, I didn’t quite get that.” How about, “I really don’t understand where you are going with this message, Pastor!” SERMON REWIND is your opportunity to do just that. Meet in the Fellowship Hall at First Immanuel from 10:10 am - 10:30 am each Sunday morning. You can get your questions answered or get a sneak peek at the sermon of that day. It is an informal Q&A-based discussion, so bring your questions and your sermon outline!

“Pull yourself together!” You’ve heard it a million times. Others may have said it to you - or you may even have said it to yourself. But things just aren’t coming together. You’re still hurting. You still feel like things are falling apart. Our Stephen Ministers are trained care-givers who will walk with you, listen to you, and provide confidential one-to-one care as you search through the pieces and find what is truly in your heart. To learn more about Stephen Ministry for yourself or someone you know, please call Pastor Reichmann at 377-6610. Be sure to get another’s permission before referring him or her.
