WELCOME:
The Immanuel Church family would like to extend a warm welcome to all on this Sabbath, and God’s richest blessings as we worship Him.
MISSION STATEMENT:
We are a diverse family, growing in Christ as we welcome and serve our community.
VISION STATEMENT:
Together, a gateway to Christ for all.
OUR CORE VALUES:
E.C.H.O: Excellence, Compassion, Hope, Oneness.
PRAYER MINISTRY:
“All who received Him would partake of His nature, and be conformed to His character. This involved the relinquishment of our cherished ambitions. It required the complete surrender of ourselves to Jesus. We are called to become self-sacrificing, meek and lowly in heart. We must walk in the narrow path traveled by the Man of Calvary, if we would share in the gift of life and the glory of heaven.” DA 391
PRAYER EMPHASIS FOR THE WEEK:
Pray a Thanksgiving Prayer for the safe keeping and return of the group from Israel, pray for our upcoming Family Emphasis Day, Pray for our Evangelistic Ministries Outreach Day, March 21, Pray for God’s intervention in regards to the coronavirus.

THANKS:

SPECIAL PRAYER:
As we see disasters and events in our world escalating daily let us pray earnestly for a special measure of God’s grace to reach out to those around us who are ready to accept the peace that comes from knowing the signs that His kingdom is very near. Let us remember to also keep in prayer those of our members who are not well. Let’s pray daily for those around the world but especially in China who have been affected by the Coronavirus crisis.
