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     

"Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:  Welcome to Emmanuel; where we know the One who has the future in His hand. Genesis is not just a book about our origins, and thus our past, but also our future. Knowing the future ought to make us a certain kind of person, fit to live in a new heavens and earth where righteousness dwells.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & REMINDERS

Community Choir practice is held here at Emmanuel on Sunday nights from 6-7pm.

Our Quarterly Business Meeting will be held shortly after the service today.

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!
