Small Groups 

Small groups provide a great opportunity for encouragement, fellowship and learning together.  We have several small groups at Emmanuel.  If you are interested in joining a small group please contact the church office.

Our day time small group meets at the Christian Education Building (right next door to the church) on Wednesday Mornings from 10- 11:30 am.  We look at and discuss the readings for the coming Sunday followed by a short communion service.  On the first Wednesday of every month the group goes to a local nursing home to lead a service for the residents.
