Grateful: This Is Us
Sundays, October 20th – November 17th
The world is a very challenging place right now. There is so much to lament and to be scared and frustrated and angry about. But the world is also still a place of wonder and beauty, and at the core of our faith is the practice of gratitude. Practicing gratitude is about noticing the enormous number of gifts we enjoy each day and giving thanks for them. One of the gifts we have is the beloved inter-generational community of Emmanuel. We will spend time looking deeply at some of the beloved people of Emmanuel and the ways they live out their call to follow Jesus through Emmanuel’s ministries. Each one has an incredible story that we will recognize, acknowledge, and appreciate.
