Men & Women’s Activities
“He gave…pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the son of God… “ Ephesians 4:11-13
Immanuel Church has a variety of ministries and activities with a purpose of encouraging the men and women in their faith, maturity and unity.
MEN:Monthly Men’s Meeting – every 3rd Saturday Morning of the month from 9 AM to approximately 10:20 AM the men meet at the church for breakfast, a devotional and prayer together.
The well advertised Annual Men’s Retreat is held every April. Men from Immanuel and many other churches come together for a weekend men’s retreat at a local retreat center. There is a speaker, and numerous activities – usually tournaments including fishing, skeet shooting, softball and horseshoes. The men return to their families and churches Sunday morning.
WOMEN:
A Women’s Summer Bible Study that gives way during the fall and winter months to a prayer meeting in the home of one of the ladies of the church.
The Annual Women’s Retreat also draws ladies from Orthodox Presbyterian and other churches of like faith and practice all over Jersey and surrounding states. The ladies typically meet the America’s Keswick Retreat Center in Whiting New Jersey for the weekend. The Women’s Retreat is held in early November, and has a speaker and numerous activities.
We are particularly committed to the biblical conviction that the greatest means of grace for the men & women of Immanuel, beside the word of God and the sacraments and prayer will be found is the body of Christ. It is in the context of the body that God encourages, counsels, heals and introduces us to wisdom.
