Evening Prayer & Song

Honest Faith: A Series on Disillusionment and the church
If you've ever felt disillusioned by the church, you're not alone. Over three nights, we'll name honestly where the church has caused harm, and where it has changed the world for good — in society, in the life of the mind, and in how we care for the body. No easy answers, no defensiveness. Just space to grieve what's true, and rediscover what's still worth staying for.

Engaging Homelessness Class
This short seminar from Lazarus offers a practical and compassionate introduction to engaging with neighbors experiencing homelessness. Through stories, lessons learned, and practical tools, participants explore how healthy boundaries, simple acts of generosity, and treating every person with dignity can foster genuine kinship and meaningful connection.

Are you interested in being in a Neighborhood Group this year? On August 16th, you are invited to our Neighborhood Group Meet & Greet! Stop by the tables in the Atrium and meet representatives from Immanuel's different Neighborhood Groups in between services and after the 11am!
Immanuel Partner Champion Lunch & Learn
If you are a current partner champion or are interested in learning more about what it means to come alongside one of our local partners as a champion, we invite you to join us for a lunch & learn on Sunday, August 9th from 1-2pm in the sanctuary. During this time, we will be introducing a new Partnership Cohort, a network where partner leaders and lay champions gather together four times a year to be spiritually formed while working toward neighborhood flourishing in Atlanta. Every gathering is designed as a transformative experience — lament, renewal, adaptive leadership, and celebration — because we believe the work of neighborhood transformation has to form the people doing it.

Move-Up Sunday
Move-Up Sunday is the Sunday when everyone who is old enough moves up to their new age-appropriate class. It's also our Kindergarten Celebration, where rising Kindergartners will be celebrated at both the 9am and 11am services and be given a small gift to let them know how proud we are of them as they take the big step into elementary school. All rising Kindergartners should begin worshiping in church with their parent(s) on August 2nd. They will then dismiss to the elementary classes with children grades K-5 just before the sermon begins.
