Welcome to Emmanuel United Church of Christ

As many of you know I just spent a weekend at the 50th anniversary of the Penn Northeast Conference of the United Church of Christ. The theme of the meeting was “50 years of commas” and it was quite a celebration. I saw many friends there and met new ones. It was a good weekend […]

In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)

Our Condolences

It is with sadness that we mark the passing of Alda Zindle on March 14, 2012. Alda was such a very active member of our church, from serving up veggies at church suppers to keeping the Memorial Gifts Book. She will be missed by many of us.
