Emanuel provides help for our members and community through encouragement and human care.  We are part of the body of Christ and would love to pray for you. 

We invite you to join us in loving service to those around us, in prayer and the study of God’s Word.

May God the Father sustain us, through His Holy Spirit, as we put our faith in His eternal promises in baptism through the death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
