Upcoming Events

Sunday Worship 
The worship services are now open for anyone who is interested in attending to RSVP. You must RSVP (Aug 9) so that we have an accurate headcount. You do not need to include lap-sized infants in your RSVP. When you arrive, please proceed to the courtyard at GMU to be seated by an usher. Please remember to wear a mask and maintain social distancing throughout the worship service. If you get a message that the service is full when registering, please email the church office to be added to the waitlist. We will continue live-streaming the service on our YouTube Channel. Please take a moment to read the Regathering Phases Plan, which provides greater details on each transition, and the Regathering Q&A document, which answers many relevant questions. Reach out to office@emmanuelarlington.org if you have additional questions. (Learn more)

Drop-in Communion
For those who are unable to attend in-person worship at GMU, we are providing opportunities to partake of the Lord's Supper at three outdoor locations each Sunday. Gluten free communion wafers will be available at each location. You do not need to RSVP, and you can stop by anytime between 1-2pm. This Sunday, August 9, we will be at GMU’s Courtyard; Drew Elementary School (3500 23rd St S, 22206 – Meet underneath archway facing Kenmore St.); and Benjamin Banneker Park near the East Falls metro (6620 18th St N, 22205).

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."

Devotional and Prayer Time
At noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, members of our staff will lead us in a devotional and prayer time, on Emmanuel's Facebook page. It'll be informal and brief--just 10 minutes or so--and a great way to connect in the middle of the day. Join us live at noon each weekday, or watch the video later when it's more convenient. If you're not part of Emmanuel's group and would like to be, just click on the link and ask to join.
