Shelby's Final Wednesday Message
"God calls us to keep learning."
Welcome to Emmanuel Church!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are not currently meeting in our church building for worship services and other gatherings, but we are still church! We are still the body of Christ in the world, wherever we happen to be.
This strange time of the pandemic has caused all of us to pause and consider many aspects of our lives. One question that has arisen is, “How can we be the church when we can’t gather together in person?” While we can’t do everything the same way we have in the past, we can still be followers of Jesus in creative and ever new ways. We can go deeper in our prayer life, giving over our worries, concerns and fears over to God. We can give thanks for the many blessings that keep bubbling up even in the middle of this crisis. We call draw richly from our faith tradition to see God’s hand at work around us and within us. And there are opportunities for some of us to show compassion in acts of service. While we cannot meet together physically, we can certainly draw near to each other spiritually. Tune into our Sunday services on our public Facebook account.
Draw near to God and God will draw near to you. James 4:8
