Womens Fellowship
For many years a group of Emmanuel women have met monthly for Fellowship and to lend their time and talents in service to the church. They are often called on to plan church uppers, assist with confirmation, other special events. They plan and prepare funeral lunches as part of the first line of comfort for a family grieving the loss of someone close.

Quilters
The Quilters are a fellowship of Emmanuel women and friends many of whom can trace their roots back to the founding of the church in 1866. In the early years of Emmanuel UCC, women held bake sales and quilt sales to help raise money for construction of the Fellowship Hall. The Ladies Aid from which the Quilters evolved was officially founded in 1911. At that time quilts were made just for members of the congregation and their families but after interest from friends, it was decided that Emmanuel quilts would be sold to the community. To this day these Emmanuel women meet each Tuesday at 9:00 am in the Fellowship Hall to sew and assemble their quilts. At present their numbers are small but each year they continue to donate a beautiful queen-size quilt to the Sausage Supper for raffle to be treasured by many Emmanuel families and many friends .
