Welcome to Immanuel Community Reformed Church. We are so glad that you have chosen to join us today as we worship the Lord together and have fellowship.
Pastor Earl Slotman will be leading our study today from Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:26-31, teaching us that God is the Creator of all things, and what it means to be created in His image.
If you are here for the first time, we would love to connect with you! Please stop by the Welcome Table in the lobby after the service for more information about Immanuel and to receive a free gift as our way of saying thank you for being our guest.
