Welcome to Emmanuel United Church of Christ

Busy, busy, busy week – with all the services this week and trying to get ready to leave on Monday. I’m sure all of you have had plenty to do as well. Everyone seems to be so “on the run” these days. Hopefully you are all taking a bit of time out to spend with […]

If you overlook […]

Hurrican Sandy Mission Trip
