Prayer and Praise Women's Book Study

New book discussion April 20 - May 11

Women of Immanuel are invited to Living Room on Mondays from 10:00 - 11:30am.  

We will be discussing "The Time Is Now" by Sister Joan Chittister—a rabble-rousing force of nature for social justice and fervent proponent of personal faith and spiritual fulfillment—draws on the wisdom of prophets, both ancient and modern, to help us confront the societal forces that oppress and silence the sacred voices among us. Pairing scriptural insights with narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Sister Joan offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment. For the weary, the cranky, and the fearful, this energizing message invites us to participate in a vision for a world greater than the one we find ourselves in today. This is spirituality in action; this is practical and powerful activism for our times.

Please purchase your own book for this study.  It is available on Amazon.

Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study

Wednesdays, 9:30 - 11:00am beginning March 11

Join us as we begin our next study, Savior:  What the Bible Says about the Cross by Magrey R. deVega.  The Bible uses many images to understand the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection, and deVega guides us through these images to achieve a richer understanding of the Christian faith.  This 6 week study begins on March 11 and meets weekly 9:30-11.  Questions? Contact Jen Johnson or Janelle Weum. All are welcome!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Saturday Women's Bible Study

First Saturday each month, 9:00 - 11:00am at Immanuel

Are you looking for a once a month women's Bible study? Life is busy with work, family, kids' activities, and just the day to day. We have a once a month women's bible study to help us unwind, take care of ourselves (both mentally and spiritually), and build relationships. We meet the first Saturday of the month, 9:00 - 11:00am, in the library. We study various topics both within the bible (currently we have been making our way through Acts), the Apocrypha (we studied Susanah and Bel and the Dragon - fun fact the dragon is actually a statue), as well as special seasonal studies. We would love to have you join us! Drop in at our January 3, 2026, meeting. Come for the study, stay for the friendship!

Contact Angie Smedlund-Karpinko for more information.
