Lent is a journey of repentance. This Lent we examine each step of the repentance process including acknowledging pain and suffering that sin causes, asking God for help, seeking mercy, being honest about our sin, asking for forgiveness, and inviting God to change us for the better.
May God renew us in this journey of faith and repentance!

back to top »Join us each month as we read a book on faith, justice and what it means to find hope in Christ amid a messy and complex world. Each month we will read a book related to Immanuel’s “Just Like Jesus” theme and will gather at a local brewery to discuss and explore how the words we read impact the lives we live. All are welcome to join, whether you finish the book or not.

We decided to continue focusing on Palestine and will be reading the book, The Lemon Tree. You can find the description of this book below:
In 1967, Bashir Al-Khayri, a Palestinian twenty-five-year-old, journeyed to Israel, with the goal of seeing the beloved old stone house, with the lemon tree behind it, that he and his family had fled nineteen years earlier. To his surprise, when he found the house he was greeted by Dalia Ashkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose family fled Europe for Israel following the Holocaust. On the stoop of their shared home, Dalia and Bashir began a rare friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and tested over the next thirty-five years in ways that neither could imagine on that summer day in 1967. Based on extensive research, Sandy Tolan brings the Israeli-Palestinian conflict down to its most human level, suggesting that even amid the bleakest political realities there exist stories of hope and reconciliation.
Please let savannah@immanuel.us know if you have any questions.
