Upcoming Events
The Session (elders) will be going on their annual retreat to plan for the upcoming ministry year and spend time in prayer soon. Everyone is encouraged to share prayer requests so that they can pray specifically for each person. You may submit a prayer request by using the cards in the bulletin this week or by emailing Young by June 2. All prayer requests will remain confidential.
International Congregational Lunch - May 31
Join us for a potluck lunch after the service. We will celebrate our diversity by having everyone bring a dish from their heritage or home culture to share!
June Saturday morning prayer
Join us for a time of prayer and intercession on Saturdays in June (6, 13, 20 and 27) from 8:30 – 9:30 am at the church office (5545 Langston Boulevard in Arlington). We will be praying for our community, the nation and the world, and individual requests. This is a wonderful opportunity to seek the Lord together as a congregation.

ESL Camp Volunteers
Looking for a chance to serve this summer? You have an opportunity to partner with our friends at One Voice Fellowship church by engaging with refugee and immigrant families. This is a two-week camp for adults to improve their English while their children participate in fun activities. Volunteers are needed to assist the English teachers, help prepare lunch, and run programs for the kids. Most of these families are from muslim-majority countries. There is a shared meal every day where you can interact with families before class. A bible lesson will be shared every day as well. Details are in this Google form. Questions can be directed via email to Chris Sicks.
Support the Johnsons
Find ways to support Emmanuel members Evan and Mollie Johnson and their daughters Amaris, Noelle, and Thea. Volunteer to organize medical supplies, be a mother’s helper, babysit the younger two girls for Mollie to attend small group. Needs are posted regularly on their support registry: https://www.supportnow.org/the-johnson-family.
