Because Luther
ans value relationships:
From fist bumps in worship to bees in the Mountain Laurel we understand that symbiosis adds vitality to life. It is essential, even. Mutual cooperation makes us stronger, more complex, and beautiful beyond imagination.
We are better together.

A Message From Emanuel's Congregation Council and Pastors Regarding COVID-19
The coronavirus, COVID-19, has certainly taken the news by storm. For better or worse, it has heightened awareness about wellness, sharing germs, and personal wellbeing. While we are grateful to be a close church community, there are precautions we must take to ensure we remain proactive, not reactive, to this virus or any other like it.

With your donations, assorted spring flowers will colorfully grace the sanctuary of Emanuel’s this Easter on April 12th and the gift of clean water will bless families across the globe for years to come.
Everyone deserves access to clean, safe water.
It affects everything. It means education for children, especially girls. It means time saved and spent on other activities, including earning money. It means improved health and reduced mortality. It means hope for the future. Emanuel’s Lutheran Church has taken up the challenge to raise $5000 to build a well in rural Africa. When you make a donation this Easter you are making a new life possible for more than 500 people in need.
You may honor or remember a loved one by supporting Water to Thrive (any dollar amount) and/or with a blooming plant ($15 each). Checks payable to Emanuel’s Lutheran Church.
Forms and payments may be put in an envelope and placed in the offering plate or delivered to the church office.
The deadline to ensure blooming plants for Easter and inclusion in the bulletin listing is Monday, March 30, 2020.
