Songs & Hymns // Pastor Ward Young
Sermon // Pastor Ryan Fullerton
When churches memorize Scripture together, the members deepen their dependency upon God’s Word, grow in Word-centered friendships, enrich their prayers for one another, and build unity that is essential to the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:13–16, Colossians 3:14). This is why, with the aid of Fighter Verses, a ministry of Truth:78, Immanuel is seeking to memorize Scripture together throughout 2023. The weekly memory verse is shared in the bulletin, the Immanuel Connect, and implemented into the Sunday School hour, with helpful resources available here, in the Immanuel app, and also in the bookstore (coming soon). May the Word of Christ dwell in us richly during 2023, that we may teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Col. 3:16).

Fourth Street Camp is a free camp June 26th-30th for students entering 3rd-8th grades. Campers will enjoy five evenings of fun as they explore an area of interest and learn that God is worthy of our worship-and He gives us worth in Jesus. They will choose from one of these exciting interest tracks: basketball, drama, drawing, hip-hop dance, percussion, soccer, and vocal performance.
Whether you are available a little or a lot, please consider meeting a volunteer need. Fill out this form to link arms with us to reach our youth, their friends, and our neighbors with gospel hope.
Mark your calendar for Wednesday, May 17th, 6:30p, for our next members' meeting. As this is an important rhythm in the life of our church, we hope you make plans to gather with us!
It's time for our 2023 Spring Churchwide Workday! Come join our church family as we care for our facility together—inside and out—on Saturday, May 20th, 9:00a–12:00p. Lunch will be provided. We’ll be painting inside and spreading mulch outside. We may also be working on some repairs at the intern house. For the intern house, we’re looking for help with drywall, plumbing, and cabinet installation. If you have skills or experience in those areas, your help would be greatly appreciated! Please RSVP at immanuelky.breezechms.
There will be a Bake Sale and Craft Fair fundraiser after church in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday, May 21st. All proceeds go towards our future campers and their fee to attend Crossings Kid’s Camp this July. Crossings is a gospel-centered camp for kids and we’d love to financially support them in this way.
The bake sale portion of the fundraiser will be cashless and a QR code will be available at checkout for you to make a payment through Breeze. All bake sale goods will be in the center of the Fellowship Hall.
The craft fair portion of the fundraiser is more individualized. There will be booths along the walls of the Fellowship Hall that will have all the crafts for sale. The payment system for the craft fair may vary for each crafty kid and his or her booth.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at the Bake Sale and Craft Fair to support our future Crossings campers!

Immanuel Youth leaders believe in and are committed to the vision of Immanuel Youth: to build the next generation into a community from all cultures where Christ is King. They recognize the role of IY to partner with and assist parents and guardians in their primary role of discipling their sons and daughters. They are godly and dependable role models who the students can trust and follow. They are those who rightly handle the Word, teach the Word, apply the Word, and counsel with the Word. They are those who—both in word and deed—compel students to know Christ more and make Him known.
As the new IY year prepares to kick off in June, Immanuel Youth is seeking more leaders to come alongside our students! If this is you, apply today and/or email our Immanuel Youth Director, Cody Farthing, at cfarthing@immanuelky.org.
The Lord provides for the needs of his people and has appointed deacons in the church to help administer this provision so that there would not be a needy person among us at Immanuel. If you are aware of a need that the Lord might meet through the care of our deacons, please make our deacons aware of it through our Mercy Needs Form.
Thank you so much for your continued worship of our great God through your faithful giving. When we exclusively moved to mailed checks and online giving, you responded. Because of your sacrificial giving, we have been able to continue fully supporting our missionaries, our ministries, and our staff.
We are pleased to share that, not only can you give online, but you can now give in person once again! Giving boxes are located near the sanctuary exits.
Want a simple resource to help stay connected at Immanuel? Download the new Immanuel app here. While still currently a work in progress, expect to see future resources coming to the app that will integrate with Breeze to better serve our church body.
As we study our community we are seeking to identify the burdens, needs, and desires of our neighbors. The key to serving our community is to locate all available church assets and begin connecting them to these burdens and needs. As a church, God has equipped us with many gifts, talents, and resources to be used to serve one another, as well as, those around us. So, would you share the ways God has gifted you to serve? We would love to know! Please take a few minutes to fill out this gifts assessment form.
We are grateful to offer a nursing mothers' room located off the balcony on the 2nd floor. Furthermore, a cry room is available in the fellowship hall. Both locations offer the service streamed. For directions, view our building map by clicking the desired room above.
