EMMANUEL EXISTS AS A REACHING MINISTRY:

REACHING UP TO GOD IN WORSHIP, REACHING IN TO ONE ANOTHER FOR EDIFICATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT, REACHING OUT TO THE WORLD WITH CHRIST’S LOVE     

“By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.”

                                                                              Hebrews 11:21

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Welcome to Emmanuel; where we are here to build up one another's faith. Jacob was a model of faith when he looked like he was just about used up. Faith has a way of flying on eagle's wings to bear fruit in faraway places and times. To say I wish you a happy new year is to say I wish you a heart full of faith.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & REMINDERS

We are very happy to welcome the Teen Challenge Choir to our service today. They will be leading us in a time of worship and testimony. So our service will look a bit different today. Please give them a warm welcome.

The Union Gospel Mission, located here in Duluth, serves 93,000 warm, nutritious meals each year, plus providing temporary housing, winter clothing, blankets, personal hygiene items, and spiritual support. The director is Katie Hagglund. You are welcome to join us on the first Thur. eve (4-6) to help serve the evening meal.

Offering plate(s) will be available in the back of the sanctuary after the service.

MISSIONARY OF THE MONTH

Our missionary of the month focus is the Union Gospel Mission. They have a long history in our area. We are glad to see that meals can be served inside there again, especially after a week of snow! We are praying for their new director, Katie Hagglund, as she begins leadership of the staff and volunteers. Another prayer focus is for the “Gospel” in Union Gospel to come through clearly!
