Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ

- April 18, 2020 - Emmanuel UCC

For this week’s greeting, I thought it would be nice if we could all pray this prayer together. The power of our praying together on Sunday morning is awesome, and something I am sure we all miss. Pray this prayer daily and thank God for our church and church family as well as for whom […]

Palm Sunday – The Remembrance

- April 5, 2020August 7, 2020 - Emmanuel UCC

In the simplest of terms, Palm Sunday is an opportunity to reflect upon the final week of Jesus’ life. Jesus did not deny the image that the crowd expected — the fulfillment of the hopes of Israel that He would be their earthly king, destroying the Roman government. Instead, Jesus humbly entered Jerusalem to give […]

In the wake of COVID-19 and social distancing, my wife and I brainstormed how we could distribute Palms to our congregation and friends. Traci came up with the excellent idea of bundling the palms together, attaching a prayer, and placing them in a basket outside of our church. Great! (Remember, even though this was Traci’s […]

*Call to Worship Lent began in the wilderness; it concludes in Jerusalem. We now come near to the end of one story. Another will soon begin. We have followed Jesus this far; today we remember how he faced betrayal, falseness, rejection, and torment. And we witness, once more, that he taught and walked in love […]
