Sent to Serve

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (locally), in all Judea and Samaria (community), and to the ends of the earth (globally). Acts 1:8

Immanuel is deeply committed to caring for and serving people within and outside of our building. We believe that acts of caring and service are an important faith habit, as well as a response to the Good News of Jesus Christ.  Developing a servant heart begins with our children, continues with our youth, and is an integral part of the life of our adults. 

There are many ways for adults, children & youth to serve.  Please see the menu on the top of this page for more information, or contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

PROP School Supply Program

PROP will be running their school supply program differently this year with schools being more directly involved in serving their families in need. We have been asked to help only with the supply of ear phones needed for students who use Ipads in the classroom. We will be collecting financial donations and purchasing 250 ear phones in bulk at a cost of about $7 each.  Donation envelopes available at the Registration Desk.

Redeemer Block Party Prizes

We will be running a game at the Block Party on August 16.  Prizes will be school supplies!  Donations of markers, crayons, spiral notebooks, packages of pens and pencils, and glue sticks are needed!

Christmas in July

Most ministries serving our brothers and sisters in need experience a decrease in donations during the summer months, but the needs continue every month of the year.  Help us to bless our partner ministries with items they need all the time and not just at Christmas!  The wish list of needed items can be found at:  Christmas in July. Please deliver items to Immanuel by July 25.

Disciples’ Garden Benefits PROP

About the Disciples’ Garden
Volunteers will be planting their gardens, getting their hands in the soil, digging, planting and harvesting the bounty of God’s good creation for PROP; a ministry for everybody: individuals, families, Faith Groups, etc. 

Working together, we’ll experience a deep satisfaction of getting our hands into the earth, digging, planting and harvesting the bounty of God’s good creation. We’ll experience the awe-inspiring generosity of a God who wants to provide abundantly for all of humankind. Others have discovered that it’s in the midst of a garden that we connect most intimately to the character and ways of our Creator.
