This is the week at Immanuel…
Our Moment
This Sunday we take one more look at “Our Moment. [If you missed last week’s sermon, “Our Messy Moment”, you can find it here.]
We’re stepping back to talk about this moment in our history. We believe this moment, challenging as it is, could be our moment…as believers and a church. But we must be ready!
Please make plans to join us, either online or in-person:
- Online. Visit iknox.org/live and find out how to stream the service live at 10:30AM.
- In-Person. We are also meeting (socially distanced) at Hardin Valley Academy (HVA). Per the County’s request, we are following all CDC Guidelines. Please familiarize yourself with them here.
We look forward to seeing you then!
Family Survey
This is the time of year that we make big plans for our Kids Ministry. Of course, in these days of COVID19, those plans will look a little different for the fall semester. To help us reopen in the wisest and safest way possible, we are taking into consideration not only the CDC guidelines but also Knox County’s recently released plan. But we also want to hear from you. Please help us know how we can best minister to your children by filling out this survey. Thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback!
Community Groups: Fall 2020
Christian community is essential to the Christian life. And while we may be required to socially distance, we don’t want to spiritually distance ourselves from one another. That’s why we’re making plans to cultivate community in safe and responsible ways this fall through Community Groups this fall.
- If you’re not currently connected with a group, but are interested in joining, please fill out this Registration Form so can get you plugged-in.
- If you are a returning Community Grouper, please fill out our Evaluation and Re-Registration Form.
Gathering Guidelines
In light of the recent increase in area cases and the updated Knox County guidelines, we want to be especially mindful of CDC and County recommendations for church gatherings. Please help us follow these guidelines by practicing social distancing and wearing a mask if/when distancing is difficult or not feasible. You can see the full list of Immanuel Gathering Guidelines here.
