God’s Work. Our Hands. started 11 years ago.
This day in September is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life — flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. If you have any thoughts about what Emmanuel can be of service in our community, please contact the Outreach Ministry Team.
