Update for Weekend of September 14, 2025

Good morning friends and members of Emmanuel Church,

Blue skies greet us this morning on God’s hill.  Here’s what’s going on in our part of the forest:

We gather with our friends and neighbors for worship this Sunday.  Choir meets at 9 to practice.  Worship is at 10:15, with the very difficult text of Genesis 22 (Abraham and Isaac, seen left) for preaching.  And after worship you are invited to fellowship and snacks and/or to help us tie a prayer blanket.  

We’re inviting our friends from Congregation Emmanu-el Israel to visit with us and Rabbi Lenny will bring the message regarding the Jewish High Holy Days.
