What are Sundays like at Emmanuel? 

Every Sunday at 10:00 am the people of Emmanuel Presbyterian Church gather to worship God and encourage one another.  Our goal in worship each week is to reorient our lives around the One who is our center.  St Paul says that in Jesus Christ “all things hold together.”  Weekly worship gives us the opportunity to set aside the work of trying to “hold it together” and remind ourselves that we are held together by Jesus.

Our Sanctuary seats about 140 people and on most Sundays about 50-60 of us gather to worship in person, with an addition 40-50 on Zoom.  The Bible plays a central role in our worship services.  Passages of Scripture call us to worship, assure us of God’s love, guide us in prayer, serve as the foundation of the pastor’s sermon for the day and send us on our way at the end of worship with God’s blessing.   We sing a mixture of traditional hymns and contemporary songs that are drawn from the texts of scripture and are chosen with a view to the theme for the day.  Our music is accompanied by our pianist and a small group of musicians who play acoustic instruments.  Our hope is that our worship will not be a show we watch but an act in which we engage.
