“The Church where Christ is exalted and Culture is Remembered”

Mission Statement This Church is an ever evolving community of

Visionaries and Dreamers, Whose Disciples have been “Called by God to live the lives we were created to live,

Commanded by God to love beyond the limits of our prejudices, and

Commissioned by God to serve!”

Good Morning and Welcome! Pastor Ross-Lee, Clergy Associates, Officers,

and Members of Immanuel wish to extend a warm and cordial welcome to everyone worshipping with us this morning.

We pray that this worship experience of Praise, Prayer, and Preaching will greatly

enrich your life and bring you into a meaningful relationship with God and His people.

Visitors, please feel free to worship with us again anytime!

Welcome Song ~ We Are So Glad You’re Here

It’s good to see ya; We’re glad you’re here It’s good to see ya; We’re glad you’re here

We are so glad that you’re here We are so glad that you’re here

Those wishing to join with Immanuel may do so by coming forward and taking a seat on the front pew during the singing of the invitational hymn.

Leader: Give and it will be given you; good measure pressed down shaken together, running over will be put into your lap.

People: For the measure you give will be the measure you get back

Leader: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal.

People: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust consume and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Unison: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
