Parish Life at Emmanuel

There are always many things going on at Emmanuel, and many ways to support Emmanuel. As a community of faith we are committed to the mutual support and care of our fellow parishioners and to the stranger in our midst. Our fellowship ministries offer a way to come to know and appreciate each other. Our ministries of welcome and congregational pastoral care are growing and full of vitality. By the intentional commitment to each other and to those who seek to enter our community, we are faithfully building up the body of Christ.

Together@Ten

Getting to know each other is time well spent. The people of Emmanuel are its greatest resource and our connectedness is key to the strength of our vibrant community. Every Sunday at 10am we offer Together@Ten our time for fellowship and food between our two Sunday morning worship services. Stop by our fellowship hall at 10am on any Sunday to enjoy coffee and conversation. Are you willing to be a part of a team that provides Together@Ten contact the church office at eumclaurel@eumclaurel.org.
