Here's a Thought (and a prayer)
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing
because you can only do a little.
-Sydney Smith
Lord, open our eyes that we might see and receive all the blessings that surround us. And then, rich or poor, grant us bold spirits that we might rise up and live our lives generously for you.
Amen.
Hidden Treasures
A Time for Children
Saturday, February 13, 10:00am-noon
This is a special time for preschool and elementary age children to gather in a safe place for a morning of fun and growing in the faith. Kids will have an opportunity to search for hidden treasures while discovering the treasure of God's love all around. There will be crafts, games, stories, snacks, and of course, a treasure hunt.
Ash Wednesday
Wednesday, February 17, 7:00pm
at Olive Branch Christian
We enter into the season of Lent with three other congregations with our Ash Wednesday worship. Olive Branch Christian is located at 101 E. Raymond St, between Meridian and East Street. Our Ash Wednesday worship will be blessed with scripture and reflections, as well as time for self-reflection and prayers of confession. If you desire you can recieve the mark of the cross with ashes. We will also share in the sacrament of communion. Immanuel folks join with the members and friends of Olive Branch Christian, Garfield Park UCC and Pleasant Run UCC for Ash Wednesday and for mid-week Lenten worships. We hope you will join us to. See our worship page for more information.
