Welcome to Emmanuel United Church of Christ

My last newsletter article – maybe ever. I’m looking forward to retirement but am also sure that I’ll be preaching here and there from time to time. I can’t just hang up my stoles for good. I have really enjoyed being your pastor for the past almost 71/2 years. There are many good folks here […]

But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed. All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the wrongdoing of us all To fall on Him. — Isaiah 53:5-6 (NASV)
