Blessing of the Backpacks
Students and teachers, bring your backpacks to church so we can bless you before the school year begins! You will be invited up at the end of each service for a blessing.
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.
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.
Register HERE.
