Fellowship

Fellowship at Immanuel

We encourage the people of God to engage in fellowship with each other!  Why?

  • It is an avenue that God uses to bless us and connect us with others who are growing in their faith.
  • In fellowship gatherings we learn more about God and each other.
  • We find people we can laugh with and share our lives.
  • We grow spiritually when we share our faith journeys with others in the Body of Christ.
  • It provides a sense of stability, a sense of belonging, of being needed and of being loved.

At Immanuel, we offer a wide variety of activities, classes and groups for adults who want to grow in their relationship with God and with one another. Whether you are interested in traditional Bible study, contemporary topics, book club, large groups, small groups, men’s groups, women’s groups or mixed gender groups, or classes to help you manage the challenges of your particular stage of life – we have something for you and we’d love to have you join us!

Do you have ideas for fellowship events?  Contact Pastor Dan Nelson!

Emmaus Walks

Thursdays at NOON, May 29 - September 4

“Jesus asked them, ‘What are you discussing together as you walk along?’” (Luke 24:17)

In Luke chapter 24, Jesus joins a pair of his followers along the road and listens as they share with him their uncertainty and excitement around news of his resurrection (not realizing it was Jesus himself walking beside them). As they travel together, Jesus offers guidance and instruction and when, at the end of the day, he breaks bread with them, the followers at last recognize Jesus beside them and their hearts are ignited once more.

Join Deacon Savannah this summer on our own Emmaus walks, as we walk together and share our own wonderings, uncertainties, and anticipations about the world around us, seeking assurance and hope in the resurrection of Jesus.  Starting May 29th through September 4th, we will meet each Thursday at noon in the courtyard for an hour long walk around round lake. Bring your prayers, ponderings, and walking shoes, as we meet one another on the road.

SALT (Senior Adults)

Seniors Actively Living Today

We are all salt of the earth. Seniors definitely fit in this category because we can add flavor to our own lives while enriching the lives of our families. Plan to be a part of this vibrant senior group. Hope to see you whenever you can make an event geared especially to you. Each month we will sponsor an event that will rotate with Learn and Grow, Service and Social.

Tables of 8

Watch here for details and sign-up!  Kick-off Sunday, September 29, 2024

The best blessings in life are the gifts we share together. These “together” gifts include friendship, faith, support, laughter, and encouragement. Life is better together! Life is blest when we share these gifts.  Immanuel is inviting you to be part of an incredible opportunity to share friendship, faith, and the gifts of community by being part of Tables of Eight!

Tables of Eight:

  • Gathers 8 people together four times a year to share a meal and build relationship with one another.
  • Is a wonderful way for couples and singles to meet new people and build deeper, more meaningful relationships within the congregation.
  • For each meal a host is selected and people take turns bringing different portions of the meal including hors d’oeuvres, salad, sides, main course, and dessert.
  • Menus and recipes for the four meals are provided.
  • If you can't attend the kick-off event you can still participate!
