We are an affirming church. What does that mean?
The unity of believers in Christ is reflected in the rich diversity of the Church’s membership. In Christ, by the power of the Spirit, God unites persons through baptism, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, geography, or theological conviction. There is therefore no place in the life of the Church for discrimination against any person. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) shall guarantee full participation and representation in its worship, governance, and emerging life to all persons or groups within its membership. No member shall be denied participation or representation for any reason other than those stated in this Constitution.
(from the PCUSA Book of Order)
Emmanuel is a safe place. Glad you are here.
Manna of the Conejo Valley is a ministry partner with Emmanuel. They are asking for cooking oil, peanut butter, and syrup. Bring your donation to the church and leave it in the narthex, aka front lobby.

We are putting together a team of people who would be willing to wash coffee cups after Sunday Service. In an attempt to be more conscientious about waste (and to use better cups!) we are going to begin using the ceramic mugs we have at the church. This will reduce waste and the cost of buying cups when we already have great coffee mugs.
This will entail about a 30 minute investment after church, after the coffee hour. Please see Debbie Barber if you are interested.
Get together with other parents for coffee and conversation while your kids play.
Wednesday Mornings from 8:30am to Noon the Nursery and Play Area are available to hang out. We have a lovely brand new couch and Nespresso machine for your enjoyment. Best of all are the people! Come and hang out.
Did you know that Children's Ministry has an Amazon Wish List?

Thanks in advance.

Did you know we have a Children's Library?
WE do! There are some selections on the patio but the storehouse is in Room 8. Your kids will love it - go check it out.
The Directory is ready. If you would like a digital copy, email Steve. There should be limited hard copies at the Connection Center.
We wanted to have individual entries in this version of the directory, so make sure you give us your name, correct email address, address, phone number. If there is information on the current directory that you would like removed please let us know by emailing Steve.
You can give by following this link, there is a collection box in the Sanctuary at the Connection Center, or you can mail or hand deliver a check to the church office. As always, your gift to the church is important, we can't do ministry without the generous giving of individuals.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Emmanuel!
If you use giving envelopes the 2023 envelopes are available at the Connection Center and the Church Office.
