Today! Back to School Blessing Offering
Once again Emmanuel will be participating in the Back to School Blessing Event.
For ten years Emmanuel people have donated their time and funds to purchase

our community. The Elders have approved a special offering for July 10th and
17th to support this local ministry. Please consider what the Lord would have you
contribute over and above your regular giving.
