Fall Ministry Kick-Off Aug. 8 at 9 AM
|
|
SUN., AUG. 18 AT 9 AM IN THE GYM
We will kick off the new ministry year at one service in the gym to gather the whole Immanuel family together to dedicate ourselves to the ministry of God for 2019-2020. This service will bring together everything that makes worship at Immanuel great. We will hear a faith story or two, then we will dedicate all of our ministry teams to the work God has set before them. To make this event complete, our high school student ministry will provide breakfast. Come and be encouraged by all that God is doing in and through Immanuel!

Caring Ministries at Immanuel
|
|
Stephen Ministry
is a system through which members of Immanuel are trained and organized to help provide confidential Christian caregiving to members of our congregation and community. This multiplies the amount of caring ministry that Immanuel can provide by giving us a whole team of skilled caregivers who are equipped to bring Christ's healing love to people who are grieving, in crisis, or experiencing other stresses in life. If you or a friend could benefit by this confidential ministry, contact one of the pastors or call our referrals coordinator, Sue Marvel, at 630-844-6562.
GriefShare
is a weekly video seminar featuring some of the nation’s foremost experts on grief recovery topics. Each seminar is combined with small group discussion to give you time to talk about the content of the videos and about how you are dealing with the death of your loved one. Immanuel's next GriefShare session begins Mon., Sep. 9 at 6:30 PM. Please contact Christin Hager at
christinhager@gmail.com
with questions.
