EMMANUEL UCC IS A 5 FOR 5 CHURCH<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Being 5 for 5 is one sign of congregational vitality in UCC churches that fully support Our Church’s Wider Mission. 5 for 5 churches give to Basic Support and all four Special Mission Offerings. Special Mission Offering dates are: Neighbors in Need on World Communion Sunday, The Christmas Fund is the Fourth Sunday of Advent, One Great Hour of Sharing is the Fourth Sunday in Lent, and Strengthen the Church is on Pentecost Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE WEEKEND BACKPACK PROGRAM<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our Weekend Backpack team is made up of members of our congregation as well as friends of Emmanuel who volunteer to pack food for needy children in a neighborhood elementary school. These children have been identified by their school and Operation Food Search as eligible for assistance for weekend meals.

Nutritious and easy to prepare meals have been supplied by funds raised by the Emmanuel Mission Outreach team and purchased through Operation Food Search. Additional funds and food items are donated by members of the congregation. Currently we are serving 25 children a week and delivered to the elementary school.

We are grateful to all of them for their faithful service to God and His Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
