Our church family gathered on Sunday, December 14, 2025, for our monthly Second Sunday Lunch — a cherished time of fellowship and connection.

This month’s meal featured a delicious roast pork dinner lovingly prepared by our Fellowship Committee. About 50 people joined us to share food, conversation, and the joy of being together.
​
We’re grateful for everyone who cooked, served, and spent the afternoon in community. Moments like these strengthen the bonds that make our church feel like home.

On Sunday, December 7, 2025, members and friends of Immanuel brought Christmas cheer to two local nursing homes! We rang bells, sang carols, and helped residents join in the fun. Two of our talented young people even shared beautiful violin performances. What a joyful day of music, community, and blessings for all!

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s Christmas door sprays project a huge success!

Through the wonderful cooperative effort, we created 52 door sprays
(50 sold + 2 donated to the church). Thanks to donated materials and $30 in cash gifts, we were able to contribute $1,030 to the Mission Team for Disaster Recovery!
