Senior Bible Study
Join us Wednesdays at 10:15 AM (Third Wednesday of the month only in summer).
This group of senior citizens meets weekly for some study relating to the Bible, the Church, Christian faith, or religion in general. For 24 years, the group has hovered around 10 in regular attendance. Someone in the group brings snacks for coffee. Prayer is always a part of each meeting as well as lots of senior humor. Usually, meetings are at church, but when some of the members are residents at senior apartments, meetings take place there. Recently, non-member residents have been attending the meetings.
Senior Choir
Join us Wednesdays at 7:30 PM.
Enjoy singing praises and a willingness to work hard. We strive to rehearse for three weeks in advance for a Sunday anthem. To learn more, email Tammie Delveaux.
Ruth Circle
Join us the third Monday of the month at 12 PM.
Gather for lunch, a formal business meeting, and a Bible study. Women in the Ruth Circle are involved in several outreach projects throughout the year including hosting birthday celebrations at Severson Home, packing and delivering Christmas cookies for homebound members, and selecting and supporting a Sunshine Secretary to send cards to members during the year. All women of Immanuel are invited to attend.
Material Witness Quilting
Join us two or three Wednesdays of the month from 12 until 4 PM. Check the church calendar for work dates.
