Shrove Tuesday Pancake Feast
Immanuel community–come one, come all! Let’s eat pancakes together! Shrove Tuesday is a traditional pre-Lent celebration where people use up their butter, eggs, and flour in preparation for fasting.
Historically, on the eve of Lent, church bells would ring out, people would come to church to confess sins and receive forgiveness, and pancakes would be had by all! At Immanuel, we are excited to carry the tradition by feasting together on pancakes, turkey sausage, and fruit.
REGISTER by February 11th for ample food planning. Also, we need volunteers to set up, clean up, and make pancakes! You can sign up to volunteer HERE. Email karen@immanuelatl.org for more information.

Childcare will be available for the 7pm service only, and registration is available HERE. We hope all will come and receive an ashen cross as we begin this Lenten journey together.
Theology & Culture Class - A.I. and Technology
Join us January 27th at 7pm for our Theology & Culture Class. In this class, Rev. Amy Winkle will lead us in exploring how the Bible speaks into our rapidly advancing technological world.

Lay-Leader Training: Leadership and the Enneagram
In this session of lay leader training, we examine the Enneagram as a tool to help us understand ourselves and those around us. The main questions in this session are “How does God work through my personality?” and “How is God transforming my personality?” If spiritual formation is allowing God to work in and through us, then it is helpful to understand how we are wired and also what invitations of growth the Lord has for us.
The hope of each of these sessions is to equip our lay leaders/volunteers (or those who desire to be lay leaders) in your walk with God and in your service in the church.
Register HERE.

Lay-Leader Training: The Spiritual Journey
In this session of lay leader training, we will be exploring several ways to think about the spiritual journey - our own journey and how to come alongside others in their journey. Thinking more deeply about the spiritual journey helps us to see how our expectations impact our communion with God and living in community with one another.
The hope of each of these sessions is to equip our lay leaders/volunteers (or those who desire to be lay leaders) in your walk with God and in your service in the church.

Move-Up Sunday
Sunday, August 3rd, is Move Up Sunday! Move Up Sunday is the Sunday when everyone who is old enough moves up to their new age-appropriate class. Rising Kindergartners will move up to the Elementary Class.
Move Up Sunday is also a day we celebrate an important milestone for Immanuel Kids. It's our Kindergarten Celebration! Rising Kindergartners will be celebrated at both the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services and be given a small gift to let them know just how proud we are of them as they take the big step into elementary school.
All rising Kindergartners should begin worshipping in church with their parent(s) on August 3rd. We will call them forward just before the announcements to honor them and give them their gift. They will then dismiss to the elementary classes with children grades K-5 just before the sermon begins.
Blessing of the Backpacks
Students, bring your backpacks to church so we can bless them before you begin your school year! You will be invited up at the end of each service for a blessing.
Sabbath Sunday
We will not be meeting for our regular church services on Sunday, July 6, as a sabbath practice. Enjoy time with your families and/or visit another church in the area!
