From Pr. Vicki

Dear Sisters and Brothers of Immanuel,
This past year has been an amazing experience. I’ve watched as you’ve grown as a community of faith (ok so maybe with a bit of prodding!). I’ve walked with you in times of joy and sadness. We have laughed, worked side by side, dreamed and planned, shared meals together and worshipped together. As a congregation, you have come a long way, and I feel blessed to have been able to be with you on this journey.
But it is now time for you to begin writing the next chapter of the story book of Immanuel. Remember the scripture that you all chose as ‘your’ story?
But the LORD says,
“Do not cling to events of the past
or dwell on what happened long ago.
Watch for the new thing I am going to do.
It is happening already — you can see it now! (Isaiah 43:18-19)
I encourage you all to keep that in mind. Yes new means change – but change also means growth and that is what God calls us to do. We are all a work in progress – individually and as a community of faith – striving to be who God created us to be.
May God’s peace be with you all – and God’s abundant blessings be yours,
Yours in Christ
Pr.Vicki
