“Greetings from all of us at Immanuel”
Pastor John Messer will be leading our study today in Acts 6:1-7, teaching us about the tactics that the enemy uses to kill a church’s ministry, the “Deadly D’s”, and how to defeat them.
Whether you are a regular attendee, or if this is your first time with us, we want to be sure that you know how much we appreciate you joining us here for worship!
At Immanuel Community Reformed Church, Our Mission is: “Going into the community, imitating Christ, by feeding body and soul”.
Our 4 core values are: nurturing children and youth, doing acts of service, responding to real needs in the community, and welcoming the stranger.
Our hope is that we have established an atmosphere where all feel welcome here and are able to engage all that God is, with all that we are!
