Presbyterian Disaster Assistance – Ukraine Emergency Relief
PDA’s first priority is to provide funding to our partners on the ground now in Ukraine. We have trusted, established partners with the knowledge and expertise to carry out this important work. Our response to the situation in Ukraine will include both financial and technical assistance as the network of faith communities providing humanitarian assistance grows in the months ahead. The needs will be great.

Dear Immanuel Family and Friends,
The word “Christ” is not a name, but rather a title. It is the anglicized version of the Greek word “Cristos.” This word, in turn, is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word from which we get the word “Messiah.” That Hebrew word means “Anointed One.” While kings were also anointed in taking on their roles, Messiah referred to the one uniquely anointed to be the deliverer of God’s people. This is the role which Jesus filled. Because he was simultaneously divine and human, he could offer himself as the perfect sacrifice on our behalf. When I refer to Jesus the Christ, I could just as well say Jesus the Messiah. He is our Lord!
We look forward to sharing worship with you this Sunday.
Richest blessings,
Rev. John Cheek

Frontera de Cristo and Café Justo developed the “Coffee and Compassion” program in 2020 in response to the economic downturn due to COVID and the concurrent drop in sales for Café Justo. The program has been an amazing success and we thank everyone who has participated!

ABOUT IMMANUEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST
We at Immanuel proclaim and strive to live by the teachings of Jesus, the Scriptures, and the church that instructs us to love our neighbor who is created in God’s image, whether they be friend or foe, similar or distinct, or a different skin tone. God has given us and entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation to transcend today’s heightened polarization in church and society. Brothers and sisters, let us continue to love one another with Christ’s love!
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Dr. John C. Tittle
ABOUT OUR CHURCH FAMILY
People come to church for lots of different reasons. Some come for the preaching, some come for the music. Some seek quiet time for personal reflection, and others appreciate a community of friends who have become family. Many are fed by book and Bible studies, and some long to reach out and help others.
We invite you to come visit us on a Sunday morning soon. Get in touch with your spiritual side — worship with us and attend a Christian Education class or a study group. We think Immanuel has what you and your family are looking for, and we would love to welcome you!
Discovering and displaying Christ
in here and out there.
All are welcome!
