CALLED TO BE - MINISTRY EXPANSION CAMPAIGN

Month at a Glance

By Pastor Steve

 

February brings thoughts of love, God’s never-changing, steadfast love, and our Called to Be Groundbreaking! As we celebrate National Marriage Week here at Immanuel, you will see marriage devotionals that encourage you to do some regular maintenance for your well-performing marriage. We will continually point to a God who works, sacrifices, and dies so that you may be in His everlasting love! And finally, we will once again see some major progress happening on our Called To Be Ministry Expansion. Immanuel will be planning a special groundbreaking celebration for Sunday, March 1st. With love in the air, we can’t help but love to see the work of Jesus in our midst!
