“You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (our own community)…” Acts 1:8
Immanuel is known as a community of faith where we love and care for each other. Much of this caring takes place in day to day relationships with family, friends, and neighbors. Several caring ministries take the form of supporting each other in times of crisis or life change.
When disruptions come up in your life, we want to know and are here to offer prayer and support in whatever way you need. For example, if you've received a new or difficult diagnosis, have a surgery coming up, a friend or loved one has passed away, or any other of life's challenges, we're here to support you and walk with you.
We do not always know what all the needs of this community are. If you are in need of support, or know of someone who is, please fill out the yellow sheet on Sundays or fill out THIS FORM to help us stay informed.
To help us better support you, a friend, relative or acquaintance, please submit a Care Team Request.
We meet once a month to discuss opportunities for congregational involvement in caring for one another (visitation, food ministries, card ministries, welcoming new babies, etc.) If you are interested in joining this group, please email Deacon Savannah.
Do you know of someone who could use a prayer shawl or a meal? Stop by the main office and Sarah or Deacon Savannah can get you connected with a prayer shawl or a bucket of soup to bring to someone in need of some extra love. You are also welcome to request either of these for yourself.

Living & Growing Through Loss
Losing someone we love is one of life’s most challenging passages. Understanding the grieving process and having the opportunity to explore one’s feelings with others can be helpful and can lead to personal growth and healing. Five area churches partner to offer this seven-week series to provide education and support to help individuals involved in the grieving process. Each of the seven sessions will provide information and presentation of a topic of interest, as well as a time for sharing in small groups.
Details about the next Living and Growing Through Loss course is available online: Southwest Grief Coalition, or at Immanuel's Welcome Center.
The card ministry committee send out cards monthly for a variety of needs to Immanuel’s members throughout the entire calendar year. Each month a volunteer sends out cards to names on the prayer list, baptisms, new members, those who have lost loved ones and those who are marking the first anniversary of losing a loved one.
