Library

Immanuel Library

Many of us have a library card and probably had had since we were a kid. Well, do we have a deal for you!

Our Immanuel library is here for your use without the need for a card or any money. All you have to do is stop in, peruse the shelves, choose your book/s, sign out the book on the card inside the book’s cover, leave the card in the designated card holder and be on your way. Just return the book when you are finished with it – no fines incurred.

There are Bible reference books; daily devotional books; books on prayer, Bible study, and coping with illness and loss. Have a friend who needs a healing word or a friend who could use some help in relationships? The library has just what you need.

In addition to all that, our library has a copy of all the Immanuel book club fiction books. You didn’t know we had a Book Club here? It’s great, and we would welcome anyone interest in joining us – third Friday evening at 7 p.m. Where else but in the library?

Summer Reading Recommendations

Seedkeeper by Diane Wilson.  This novel spans several generations of Dakota women who struggle to preserve their way of life and the sacrifices that matter most.  The story begins in the 1860s with a Dakota woman knowing she will have to move so she sews the precious seeds into her skirt.  The story follows those seeds through the generations.  Themes of farming without GMOs are explored along with the foster care system.  

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. At first sight, Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet, a curmudgeon with staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse.  New neighbors move in and what follows is a heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unlikely friendships and a community’s unexpected assessment of the one person they thought they had all figured out.

Love Without Limits by Jacqueline A. Bussie. Every day, millions of people lament the loss of civility, respect, and hope, and they wonder if it's possible to cultivate a love big enough to overthrow hate and heal our hurts. With courage, authenticity, and relevance, Jacqueline A. Bussie proclaims, "Yes! It's possible!" and urges readers to widen love's wingspan and to love as God loves--without limits or exceptions.

Full Heart Living by Tom Glaser. When was the last time you said the words, ''I'm really happy'' and meant it? If it's been a while, then you are not alone. For many of us, happiness only occurs at peak moments in our lives; it is not something we experience every day. 

Donated Books to Immanuel Library

Immanuel is a generous congregation in so many ways.  One of those ways is donating books to our church library.  However, we have a small library and our shelves are becoming over crowded.  We would ask that if you want to give us some of your books that you contact Diane Chapa with that request.  The library group can then decide if we will be able to take your donated books.  We respectfully ask that you not leave books unless you have contacted Diane.  She can be reached at dianechapa@gmail.com or 612-387-9266.
