PLEASE GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK
Greetings!
This past pandemic year has been uniquely challenging for churches. Church has historically been centered around gathering for worship, growth, service, support, and fellowship. The COVID pandemic has kept us much more apart for the past 15 months changing how we do ministry.
We ask you to please respond to the feedback questions and share your insights as to how this past year has gone and help us determine how to best move forward.
We especially want to know what you, your family, and your children need that Immanuel can help provide.
Please submit your feedback on/before June 30th.
Pastor Paul and the Immanuel Church Council
