10:00am Summer Worship
Starts Sunday, May 26
Beginning on May 26, we will have one worship service at 10:00am on Sundays for the summer. This service incorporates elements of both alternative and traditional styles of worship.
Welcome to Immanuel! People come to church for lots of different reasons. Some come for the preaching, some come for the music. Some seek quiet time for personal reflection, and others appreciate a community of friends who have become family. Many are fed by Bible studies and fellowship groups, and some long to reach out and help others through service to our community. We invite you to come visit us on a Sunday morning soon. Get in touch with your spiritual side — worship with us, attend a class or support a local mission project. We think Immanuel has what you and your family are looking for, and we would love to welcome you!
Celebration of the Lord’s Day
Dear Immanuel,
When you think of Jesus, what activity of Jesus characterizes him the most for you? Perhaps it is healing the sick with the touch of his hands, or healing with just his words. Or maybe Jesus’ preaching to a crowd resonates with you. Or his compassion for people. For some, it is Jesus on the cross. Or, exalted at the right hand of God.
This Sunday, we are going to talk about an activity of Jesus that caused people to recognize Jesus after the resurrection. It took people a while to recognize him. Did he look different? Or is it simply the fact that no one expected Jesus to be alive, so the brain denied the “obvious.” As one commentator said (Dave Lose): “the earth is unwilling to cough up the dead.”
So back to this activity that caused people to finally recognize Jesus. It is an act so ordinary, so common, that we do it three times a day. Can you guess what it is?
See you in Church!

THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST
We at Immanuel proclaim and strive to live by the teachings of Jesus, the Scriptures, and the church that instructs us to love our neighbor who is created in God’s image, whether they be friend or foe, similar or distinct, or a different skin tone. God has given us and entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation to transcend today’s heightened polarization in church and society. Brothers and sisters, let us continue to love one another with Christ’s love!
Grace and Peace,
Immanuel Presbyterian Church
