Online worship 12/13/2020

Hello to all in our Emmanuel Chapel church family,

Tomorrow we will be “all virtual” again due to the continued surging COVID cases in our region. So no Worship Services or Sunday School classes in either building tomorrow, just virtual, until further notice.

We are in the Advent season, turning our hearts and minds toward the coming of our Savior. Since we are online only tomorrow, Shelly & I will do the Advent reading and candle lighting again from our house during the service.  So IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE JOIN US BY WEBEX VIDEO TOMORROW, so that you will be able to enter into the Advent reading and candle lighting, from our home to yours.

Tomorrow I will preach an Advent message from Luke 1:26-38 entitled, “Christmas Wishes.” My “wish list” for you this Christmas season has 3 items on it, inspired by this wonderful passage about the angel Gabriel’s life-changing announcement to Mary. 

Please remember that if you would like prayer for something during the worship service tomorrow, just email me about it, and we will be happy to pray for you tomorrow.

So please join us tomorrow for our virtual Worship Service, live at 10:30 AM, by WebEx. 
Our live Song Response after the sermon will also be virtual, by YouTube. 
Sunday School for Adults will be virtual by Webex following the Worship Service.
Our two Sunday School classes for 5th-12th Grades will also be held virtually by Webex, at 5:00 PM tomorrow.
A recording of the sermon will be posted on the church website later in the day.

Online Worship 12/6/2020

Tomorrow we will be “all virtual” again due to the surging COVID cases in our region. So no Worship Services or Sunday School classes in either building tomorrow, just virtual, until further notice. We are monitoring this regularly, with hope that the day will be soon when we can safely worship together again in our church buildings… 

Speaking of hope, we are now in the Advent season, turning our hearts and minds toward the coming of our Savior. Since we are online only tomorrow, Shelly and I will do the Advent reading and candle lighting from our home during the service. IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE JOIN US BY WEBEX VIDEO TOMORROW, so that you will be able see and enter into the Advent reading and candle lighting, from our home to your home. This will be another “first” for us all, in this strange year of 2020.

We will be finishing our Fall sermon series called, Need Change? (Finding Hope from People Who Found Change). Each message has looked at different Bible characters whose lives changed when it seemed impossible, giving us hope for the transformation of our lives, too. 

Tomorrow will be the last message in this series, from Mark 16:7 entitled, “The Grace of Restoration.”  Have you ever felt that things would never be the same because of something you had done? The Apostle Peter had that terrible experience in his life, and found himself surprised by grace when all hope was gone. We all need to get in on this!

So please join us tomorrow for our virtual Worship Service, live at 10:30 AM, by WebEx. 
Our live Song Response after the sermon will also be virtual, by YouTube. 
Sunday School for Adults will be virtual by Webex following the Worship Service.
Our two Sunday School classes for 5th-12th Grades will return virtually by Webex, at 5:00 PM tomorrow. See links below for each class.
A recording of the sermon will be posted on the church website later in the day.
