CONNECT CAMPFIRES
July 1, 7 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.
Tired of being stuck inside? Missing that connection with friends and neighbors you previously took for granted? Come and join in Immanuel’s Connect Campfires each Wednesday in July and August.
We will sing some songs, share in devotions, include some mini trivia contests, and share the blessings of faith and fellowship! Join us as we gather around the fire pit in the Immanuel backyard. Bring a blanket or a camp chair.
Masks are required as we come together to care for one another, but as this is outdoors, singing will be encouraged.
Our first “Connect” Campfire is Wednesday, July 1. Hope to see you there!

GROW IN UNDERSTANDING
RACIAL JUSTICE
White Fragility,
Book Discussion Groups
During the month of July Immanuel members are invited to read the book
White Fragility: Why it's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism
by Robin DiAngelo.
In the second half of July several small group opportunities will be available for 6-8 people to gather and discuss the book in the context of growing in our faith as we grow in understanding some of the framework of racial justice work. Questions?
Kim@Immanuel.us
Men's Book Discussion Group with Pastor Paul
Thursday, July 16, 7pm (In-person and via Zoom)
Pastor Paul invites men to read
White Fragility
with him. Pastor Paul says,
"I am inviting you to join me in an opportunity for fellowship and growth. I am forming a men’s book club that will focus on issues of race and justice. Events in our community, our country, and around the world demonstrate our vital need to continue to address systemic racism in our communal life. It is my hope that we can gather around compelling, challenging books and help each other learn and grow in how we might respond to this need."
