Upcoming Events

Sunday Worship Live Streams
We will continue to live stream (bulletin) our services at 10:30am until it is safe to meet in large gatherings and GMU reopens. Monitor your email and our website for further updates. We also encourage you to “subscribe” to Emmanuel’s YouTube channel.

Good Friday Service
Please join us for a special Good Friday service on April 10 at 7:00pm, when we will reflect on the last seven words of Jesus on the cross. You can join the service on our YouTube channel.

Day of Fasting and Prayer - April 10th
In response to the suffering caused by the pandemic, the elders of Emmanuel are asking the congregation to set aside Good Friday as a Day of Fasting and Prayer. Our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), will be joining the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), the Anglican Church in North American (ACNA) and other believers around the world to cry out for God's help and mercy. Feel free to use this Guide to Prayer and Fasting by Dr. Richard Pratt and this Prayer List . Please remember this is a matter of the heart and not prescription. Also, please consider your health needs and the care of others as you decide how to spend the day.

Easter Sunday Call to Worship
Every Easter, we open the worship service with the call to worship in all the languages spoken at Emmanuel. This year, we're still planning to do that. If you speak another language and are willing to record a quick video of yourself saying the call to worship in that language, please email Brittany as soon as possible!

Christianity Explored Course
Amidst all the uncertainty of these troubled times, we could use some good news. That's what Christianity Explored is about: an informal, interactive discussion of the good news of Jesus. This free course is designed for those who are new to Christianity, or who have been away for awhile and want to be re-introduced. Scott will lead the four week course on Zoom, beginning on Tuesday, April 14, at 7:30 pm. For more information or to sign up, email Brittany. And please invite a friend in the area.

Weekday Devotional and Prayer Time
At noon, members of our staff will lead us in a weekday 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.

Weekly Virtual Prayer Meeting
Join us every Wednesday night at 8:30 pm as we unite together in prayer for our community and congregation. Each week, look for an email with a Zoom invite link for the prayer meeting. If you'd like to join the email list, please contact Brittany.

Hang Out with the Pastors
Every Friday at 11:00, a pastor will host a Zoom hang out with the children of Emmanuel. It's a great time to ask spiritual questions or just to virtually catch up with friends. A Zoom link will be sent out to our Children's Ministry families. Please email Angela or Lisa for more information or to be added to our email list. 

Weekly Game Night
Beginning this Friday, March 27 at 7:00 pm, we're going to have a weekly Game Night, via Zoom. This week we'll play Bingo together, so please join us! Jordan will send out a link to the event, and once you're connected on Friday night, he'll supply a link to your unique game card along with instructions. Hope to see you Friday! If you'd like to join the email list, please contact Brittany.

English Conversation Group
We will be hosting a virtual conversation group via the computer Fridays from 7-8:30pm. Please send your email to candc@emmanuelarlington.org and we will forward the materials and other information for the Friday night event if you would like to join us.

Children's Ministry Resources
Children's Church lessons are available on the Emmanuel app, and Children's Church preschool videos are available on Emmanuel’s YouTube channel.
