Fellowship Groups
In the book of Acts we read that the believers “broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people.”
Acts 2:46-47
Fellowship deepens and strengthens our relationships at Immanuel. Whether it be hanging out, studying the Bible, playing board games, praying for each other, or enjoying meals together, our fellowship groups at Immanuel are a great way to connect the other six days of the week.
Presbyterian Women
From local concerns to national engagement, Presbyterian Women (PW), guided by the Holy Spirit, are at work, ever-mindful of PW’s purpose of strengthening the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnessing to the promise of God’s kingdom.
Presbyterian Women at Immanuel supports Women in Presbytery de Cristo, Synod of the Southwest, and the Church-wide Presbyterian Women’s organization.
Our two Women’s Circles meet once a month for fellowship, study, and prayer. Throughout the year there are other gatherings including meeting with women from other churches at Presbytery de Cristo. All women at Immanuel are members of Presbyterian Women and are encouraged to join one of our two PW Circles, Agape Circle or Lydia Circle.
Meeting and event schedules will be posted in the Dove Newsletter.

Desert Sages is a Fellowship Community
- Meetings: Tuesdays, 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
- Location: Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Witherspoon Hall
Want to become “connected” in the church? You need to be involved in a smaller group! What better way to be involved than to fellowship with other parishioners. 30‐45 of us meet every Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. ‐ 12:30 p.m. in Witherspoon Hall to play games: bridge, poker, hand & foot, Rummikub, Mexican train and anything else you would like. We take turns furnishing a dessert which we share at noon. A $1 donation each week covers a prepared lunch every six weeks or so. Many winter residents join us when they are here and teachers join us in the summer. You do not need to “sign up” to play. We are happy to have you just come when you can. Desert Sages is a local mission project of Immanuel’s Agape Circle.
