Your Field Guide to Neighborhood Outreach – Building Bridges to Our Community
Movie nights with your neighbors aren’t just about watching movies. The point is to set up discussions and encourage fellowship – the movies are simply shared experiences and discussion prompts.

Opportunities to Serve
Opportunities to serve abound at Immanuel. They range from musical groups to maintenance; from ChristCare leaders to coffee-makers; from mission trips to fixing meals…and that’s just a start! Here at Immanuel we are committed to helping you to serve in a way that best uses your God-given gifts and passions, so that more might come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
What does this mean for you? If you have an idea of how you’d like to serve, let us know and we’ll help you in any way that we can. If you’d like to do something new here, we’d love to talk with you about how to start that! If you’d like to serve but don’t have any idea where to start, we have a PLACE workshop that is offered several times each year that will help you discover some places to begin. You can also check out our Take Action menu on the right side of this webpage for ideas.
Plan ahead for Spring PLACE Workshops:
- Sundays from Mar. 7-28 from 10:45 - noon in the Conference Center (new classroom)
- Sundays from April 11-May 2 from 8-9:15 a.m. in the School Library
Also, don't forget to mark your calendars NOW for next spring's Neighborhood FamilyFest - May 22 and the Zoo Ministry Recognition Event - May 23.
Please contact Lisa with questions.
Spotlight on...Premarital Counseling 2010
Arranging for marriage at Immanuel:
When a couple is engaged, an appointment should be made with a pastor to reserve the date for the wedding. At that time, the couple will receive the marital guidelines and information about the required premarital counseling. Our pastor’s responsibility is not only to officiate at the Marriage Service, but also to prepare the couple for the years of married life.
Therefore, the couple is required to meet with one of the pastors for 4-8 hours of premarital preparation prior to the wedding. Normally, the pastors will not marry a couple unless they have had the opportunity to spend adequate time in premarital counseling sessions or unless other acceptable arrangements have been made beforehand.
