year Emmanuel will offer a six week discovery class on Sundays and

Wednesdays. The class will cover the basics of the Christian life. Discovery

classes will be offered on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. (hosted by the Seekers Class on the

Please continue to pray for complete healing. I am truly blessed with

a loving and caring church family.

would invite to join us on Friendship Sunday.

“Blessed Redeemer” By Casting Crowns

Verse 1: Up Calvary's mountain one dreadful morn

Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn. Facing for sinners, death on the cross

That He might save them from endless loss.

Chorus: Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer. Seems now I see Him on Calvary's

tree Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading, Blind and unheeding, dying for me

Verse 2: "Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed,

Even while His lifeblood flowed fast away. Praying for sinners while in such woe

No one but Jesus ever loved so. Chorus

Verse 3: Oh, how I love Him, Savior and Friend.

How can my praises ever find end? Through years unnumbered on Heaven's shore,

My songs shall praise Him forevermore. Chorus Used by permission CCLI #796382

“Thrive” Mark Hall | Matthew West

Verse 1: Here in this worn and weary land, Where many a dream has died

Like a tree planted by the water, We will never run dry

Pre-Chorus: So living water flowing through, God we thirst for more of You

Fill our hearts and flood our souls, With one desire

Chorus: Just to know You and to make You known. We lift Your name on high

Shine like the sun make darkness run and hide.

We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive. We were made to thrive

Verse 2: Into Your Word we're digging deep. To know our Father's heart

Into the world we're reaching out, To show them who You are

Bridge: (Repeat 3X)

Joy unspeakable, Faith unsinkable, Love unstoppable, Anything is possible

Ending: We were made to thrive Admin. by Amplified Administration LLC. Used by permission CCLI #796382
