Good Friday Gift
Every year on Good Friday, as we contemplate Christ’s suffering on the cross, Immanuel collects a special offering on behalf of people who are suffering in the world around us. This year, our Good Friday Offering will support World Relief as they provide aid to those in Turkey and Syria who are in the wake of destructive earthquakes.
You can give by cash or check at our Good Friday service, or online at any point during Holy Week (April 2 – April 9).
Giving link coming soon.
