Knowing God's Word

Connecting with each other, and

Pilgrim’s Progress Book Discussion
Did you ever want to read the Christian classic, "The Pilgrim’s Progress" by John Bunyan, but never got around to it? Or did you read it so many years ago that you can barely remember the story line? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, please consider joining our book discussion this summer for women.Led by Debbie Rafi, one of our women’s Bible study leaders, this book group will read through and discuss "The Pilgrim’s Progress – Part I, Christian’s Journey" using a modern English version. Discussion will focus on the many wonderful characters and their journey in this classic allegory of salvation and the believer’s journey to heaven. There is no charge - just purchase the book and come ready to discuss chapters 1-2 on June 7th. The recommended version is “The Pilgrim’s Progress in Modern English,” revised and updated by L. Edward Hazelbaker. You can purchase the book in the Immanuel Christian Bookstore if you like.

You’ve never seen Women of Faith like this before!
Join other women from Immanuel for a new Women of Faith conference this summer. We all experience good times and bad days, triumphs and tragedies. But no matter what life throws at you, this is what matters: God loves YOU. (Always has. Always will.) You’re invited to be part of a very special celebration. Compelling stories, Bible-based teaching, world-class music, unstoppable inspiration, and a few surprises combine for an experience like no other. God loves you! And that means there is always a reason to celebrate.
Women’s Ministry has reserved a block of great seats at a special group rate of $91 for this fresh conference. And we have a select number of seats at a discounted price for military and teachers of only $71. This includes military wives, retired and active duty soldiers, and immediate family of military.
Tickets may be purchased at the Immanuel Christian Bookstore. Don’t delay – tickets will go fast!
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name.

WOMEN'S MINISTRY PRAYER TEAM
“Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3
We believe that God does this every time we pray – God hears and answers our prayers according to His will. On the first Monday of every month, a team of women meet to worship God in prayer and pray for the leadership of Immanuel, Women’s Ministry and specific requests of women. Before the retreat this spring, the Prayer Team prayed for each of the 220 women by name. Prayer is the essential ministry for without this dependence on God, we cannot expect any blessing.
If you have a confidential request that you would like the Women’s Ministry Prayer Team to pray for, please email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Requests can be sent at any time. Click here to find additional prayer resources
