In Memoriam Tribute for Easter Services
During both Easter services, we will have lilies displayed on the stage in honor of loved ones, in memoriam. If you would like to have printed a family member or friend’s name, please email
Bonnie and include their name and relationship to you.
Easter Call to Worship Languages
We will start our Easter services 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 in a language other than English and are willing to read a short verse we’ll supply you with, please email
Bonnie with the language(s) you can speak.
Intro to Emmanuel - April 12
If you are new to Emmanuel and want to learn more about the church, you’re invited to an informal luncheon seminar after service from 12:30pm-2:00pm. Handbooks are available in both English and Spanish. The luncheon also serves as our Membership Seminar, but attending does not obligate you to join the church. Email
Bonnie or sign up through
Church Center to RSVP.

Emmanuel member Karen Adjei is raising support for her journey to begin living her missional life in Japan. She will be sharing with us later in the spring about God’s work she’ll be embarking on. In the meantime, please visit her page to learn about how you can support her:
