Sunday Worship
We worship on Sundays at 10:30am meets at Rivendell School. We translate services to Spanish. Please remember not to park in front of a residence when parking at Rivendell. Parking is available surrounding the Lee Community Center and park and the Little Ambassadors Academy parking lot. Masks are optional during worship, except on the balcony where masks are required. We are continuing to monitor CDC and Arlington County guidance. We will also continue to live-stream the service.

Recruiting for Call to Worship on Easter
We will start Easter service with a call to worship in languages spoken at Emmanuel as a way to remember that Christ rose for all peoples. If you can converse or just "get by" in a language and are willing to read a short verse we’ll supply you with, please email Karen with the language(s) you can speak.

Music on Easter Service
Calling bowed string players young and old, more or less experience! Come play beautiful music for our Easter Services, Sunday, April 9. Rehearsal is on March 26 after the service. Contact Lynne  for parts. Note: Parts will be rewritten for every level of player.

On the first Sunday of the month we take the time to pray for the congregation and the concerns of the people, and we would love to pray upfront for you.
