Are you new to our church? Get connected!

Small Group Registration
Registration for men’s, women’s, and co-ed small groups is active. Small groups are Christian communities that invite us into communion with God and with one another. They are places for the care of souls; to be known by others, prayed for by others, and fed by scripture. If you would like to sign up for any of these groups or need to switch groups, you can do this through sign up in Church Center here or fill out the form in the bulletin this week and drop it in the offering basket. For any questions, reach out to Stephen.

Meals
Three Emmanuel families recently had babies. Please check the Friday email to sign up to take a meal.

Fall Youth Retreat sign ups are open on Church Center. Rising 6th-12th graders, mark September 12-14 on your calendars and sign up today.
