Drop-In Communion
We will offer drop-in communion on Sunday, January 17, in the courtyard outside of Rivendell (2410 N. Kensington St. Arlington, VA 22207) from 1-2pm.
Facility Fund Campaign
If you would like to contribute to the purchase of the new office space/ministry center, you can do so by giving online and selecting "Facility Fund", or by mailing a check to the church office (1408 N. Fillmore St., Suite 16, Arlington, VA 22201) with "Facility Fund" in the memo line. We have raised $180,221.33 toward our goal of $200,000! We're 90% of the way to our goal!
January Mercy Offering
Throughout the month of January, we will collect a Mercy Offering to support Assist Crisis Pregnancy Center, an organization working to encourage, educate, and empower women and men to make life-giving decisions for themselves and their unborn children. You can give by selecting "January Mercy Offering - Assist" on the Emmanuel App or online donations or checks.
Baby Shower Drive
In addition to the mercy offering, we will be sponsoring a baby shower to benefit one of the mother's going through Assist's parenting courses. You can sign up to donate an item by contacting Brittany.
Arlington Bridge Builder's Pandemic Relief Fund
Make a donation to ABB's Relief Fund through the end of January and Emmanuel, through the Deacons' Fund, will match your collective contributions up to $7000. Donations can be given through the church’s online giving platform or by mail. The fund helps our neighbors who are in desperate need of assistance with essential expenses such as rent and medical bills. ABB was founded ten years ago to serve the poor in our community by a coalition of Arlington churches, which includes Emmanuel.
Small Groups Sign Up
Community and Covenant Groups are open for registration! We encourage everyone at Emmanuel to be a part of a group. If you are interested in joining or switching groups, please complete this online registration form.
- We are offering a new topical group on Race & Biblical Justice that will go through Hear Us,
Emmanuel, the follow up book to Heal Us, Emmanuel.
- Secondly, we doubled the number of Covenant Groups and encourage participation as they might be more conducive for virtual meetings.
All small groups will be functioning under a "hybrid" model where main meetings will remain
virtual. However consistent, smaller, safe, in-person meetings will also be scheduled.
Foster Care Team
Foster families can be overwhelmed with caring for vulnerable children, especially during these stressful times. In response, we are forming a wrap-around care team of 6-8 people to help meet practical needs of a foster family in Arlington. If you’d like to help, please contact Scott Seaton.
Food Pantry Drop-Offs
Arlington Bridge Builders is looking for volunteers to assist with food pantry distribution and praying for our community. If you would like to volunteer, you can sign up here.
Opportunities to Serve Those in Need
Arlington Bridge Builders (ABB) has created a Pandemic Response Team. Help by dropping off perishable food at Community Church of God (790 S. Carlin Springs, Wed-Fri, 10:00-5:00). Or donate tax-deductible funds which will help supply the pantry, pay rent, utilities, etc to vetted needy families. Visit our website and click "give."
