Prayer and Praise Women's Book Study

Women's Bible Study Mondays, 10:00-11:30am, September 15-November 3

Join us in the Living Room on Mondays from 10:00 to 11:30am. to deepen our faith together.  Our first study of the year is Falling Upward, A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Father Richard Rohr (Sept. 15-Nov. 3 - no study Oct. 13).  Fr. Rohr seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the only ones who understand "up."  The book is available on Amazon. Please make your own purchase for this study.  If interested, there is also a Companion Journal available. 

Women of all ages are invited to join us in the Living Room at Church for community & lively discussion!  

Questions? Contact Kim Paul.

 

 

 

 

 

Hops and Hope: Book Discussion Group

Third Thursday each month, September - May

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 and gather at Immanuel (bring your favorite beverage!) 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.  Click here for dates, locations and books!

 

 

Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study

Wednesdays, 9:30 - 11 a.m. beginning September 10

Join us as we begin our next study, 1-2 Peter: Hope in a Hard World by Lydia Brownback.  In this 10-week Bible study, we will explore how Peter's Epistles are a rallying cry for hope. Written to a young church facing intensifying persecution, they showcase the living hope of the gospel even during trials and tribulation. We will begin our study on Wednesday, September 10 and meet weekly 9:30-11:00am. Questions? Contact Jen Johnson or Janelle Weum. All are welcome!

REGISTER for book order.

 

 

Wednesday Night Adult Education

Wednesdays, 6:15 - 7:30 p.m., Fellowship Hall 

Begins Wednesday, September 17, 2025

We all know that the Church is bigger than just our congregation and our particular denomination; but why are there so many different churches, where did they come from, what do we share, how are we different, and what is God up to in these traditions today? Join us on Wednesday evenings as we explore all that and more with the help of videos from Dr. Molly Worthen. Our exploration begins with a night of learning about some of the ministries we partner with on September 10th and runs through May. Register today!

Join us for a weekly study led by Pastor Dan, Pastor Steve, and Deacon Savannah. 

Questions?  Contact Pastor Dan Nelson.
