Month at a Glance

By Pastor Steve

 

It is hard to believe that we are already going into September! School has started and is running smoothly. We were blessed by our Outdoor Classroom as we had our back to school backpack blessing with over 825 people worshiping with us as we launched the 2024-2025 school year! Regular ministry activities kick off soon, like Gentle Hearts (Mondays at 1pm), Women’s Bible Study (Mondays at 7pm), Confirmation, GriefShare, and so much more! Check out all the upcoming events at Immanuel and join us as we equip the saints, reach the lost, and praise the Lord.

 

Immanuel also has a special voters meeting on September 29th at 11:45am. Join the Immanuel family as we consider the possibility of implementing solar at Immanuel. Currently, Immanuel pays about $53,000 each year for electricity. Solar could reduce that annual cost, with the installation of solar panels, and save Immanuel about $1.8 million over 25 years. Review the presentation (print copies will be available in the fellowship hall on the slot wall near the TV), share your questions with Pastor Steve, and join us as we make a decision that is best for the Immanuel family and our ministry activities!
