Groovin’ on a Sunday morning
Come and “groove” on Sunday morning, as we worship and picnic together.
This Welcome Sunday we kick off our Everyday Worship theme for fall. Each Sunday in September and October we raise up a part of worship exploring it’s meaning both in worship and in our everyday lives.

On September 8 we begin with “Passing the Peace.” Passing the peace is about more than saying “hi” to our neighbor in worship, it is about sharing God’s peace and reconciliation with one another every day. Passing the peace really can bring peace to our lives.

Come and share “peace” on our Welcome Sunday. The Immanuel staff will be wearing our best groovy 70’s styles and we invite you to join in the spirit and fun of the day!

Picnic to follow
