First Sunday of Lent
Lent Series - Everyday Jesus Spirituality
This Sunday we begin our Lenten journey with a full and deeply meaningful service, rooted in our theme of Everyday Jesus Spirituality. This service will be our first lived expression of the theme—learning to follow Jesus not only in extraordinary moments, but in the ordinary rhythms of presence, vulnerability, and shared life.
We will begin with the administering of ashes, marking the start of our Lenten journey; reminding us that we are deeply loved by God.
Our scripture from Luke 22 will be presented by some of our Immanuel youth as a series of frozen scenes, or tableaux, helping us enter more fully into the story.
We will then share in Communion together, participating in the very meal that
shapes our life with Christ.
Our continued reflection and fellowship will take place around our tables as we enjoy a continental potluck breakfast. There will be time for discussion about all we have heard and experienced during worship—an opportunity to practice being present with one another as we begin this season.
Upcoming 10 am Services

Lent Series - Everyday Jesus Spirituality
Sunday, February 22 - First Sunday of Lent; Continental Breakfast Service, Communion
God is in the business of transforming — recreating, rebuilding, and renewing all kinds of things: lives, friendships, marriages, organizations, cities, tribes, and nations. He invites us to participate with him in this. He calls it “following him." We call it our mission.

Worship at Immanuel
Worship at Immanuel is a time for our community to gather together to bring praise to God, to share our lives and stories with each other, and to hear what God has to say to us through the Bible. Our hope is that worship mirrors our relationship with God, and so gives us opportunity as a community to pray, sing, reflect, lament, offer, listen, and respond to the challenges of the Bible. Through the Holy Spirit, we pray that our worship will transform our lives so that we grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ our Saviour.
