Be a Gospel-Centered Family This Season!



Pastor Kirk recently talked about how our role is to share the gospel. That’s not just for pastors, Sunday School teachers, or missionaries. Sharing is the role of all believers, including us parents! This year, multiple parents in our church family have had the opportunity to share the gospel with their kids and lead them to Jesus! What an awesome privilege! I want to encourage you to keep the gospel central in your family conversations. Share every opportunity you get! Remember, you are not alone. We are here to come alongside you. Check out some of the resources available on our Family Resources page. There are free tools to help you and empower you to start having more gospel conversations with your kids.

Community Groups are going really well!! Students are maturing in their relationship with King Jesus as they study God’s Word with their peers. All students are meeting at 15683 Rose Road, and they are studying what it means to “Experience God.”

We’ve also got a parent community group this fall as well! We will be encouraging one another to have a “God-sized vision” for our families as we study the Scriptures and read Visionary Parenting. We are meeting at 1003 S Main Street.

Young Adults Community Group

Our young adults (18-25 years old) are meeting on Wednesday evenings from 6-8 pm at 217 N Maple Street for Community Groups! We have an awesome community and would love for you to join us!!

            Immanuel’s Women’s Ministry invites all ladies, high school-aged and up, to gather together on Friday, November 11 at 6:00 p.m. for a taste of the holidays. There will be a devotion by Melody Murry, as well as a meal consisting of ham, potato casserole, dinner roll, and tea or water.  But the bulk of the evening will be the sharing of our favorite holiday recipes with others.   What we are asking is for each person attending to bring a favorite holiday dish that she serves for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, or Christmas day.  It can be an appetizer, a salad, a side dish, a dessert, a beverage, or any treat.  Then we will do a Sam’s-sized sampling of all the treats.  

            The heart of the Women’s Ministry Team is to bring women TOGETHER because women need women as we live life.  This event will be a perfect opportunity to invite a guest. (She won’t need to bring a dish.). It will be a great way to introduce someone to our church and to start off the holiday season.  Hope to see you there.

There will be no nursery provided for this evening.
