Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill Parish Notes
Feast of the Epiphany January 6, 2019
IN THE NAME OF CHRIST we welcome you to Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill! Immanuel is an Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Virginia, and is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion. Immanuel was founded by the Virginia Theological Seminary. We are one parish that worships in two locations, in Zabriskie Chapel (3606 Seminary Road) and in Immanuel Chapel (3737 Seminary Road) on the seminary grounds.
A fully-staffed nursery is available in both chapels for those parents who would like to take advantage of this ministry. An usher would be happy to assist you in making your children comfortable and welcome. Please join us after the Eucharists for coffee and give us an opportunity to meet you. From mid-September through May we also offer adult education and Sunday School opportunities.

Second Sunday Potluck Fellowship Forum about "Acceptance" "Acceptance: What's the difference between acceptance and settling?" That's the topic for our Sunday-evening forum on January 13th. We will gather in Zabriskie Hall at Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill for setup beginning at 6:00 p.m., share a potluck meal at 6:30 p.m., then see clips from the 1991 movie "Prince of Tides" to tease out the difference between acceptance and settling. A viewer said of this movie, "a poignant study of a man coping with the long-term effects of childhood trauma."

We gather in the Fairchild Room at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast, with Bible study beginning at 8 a.m. We promise to be done by 9 a.m.! Our theme is Discernment of Spirits. This month we will read Ephesians 4:14-24, using the African Model of Reflection. Come, be fed in body and spirit with food, fellowship and God's word.
