Hurricane Season Cancellations |
|
If a hurricane forces
us to cancel Sunday church services,
we will hold the
service the following Wednesday at 7pm unless there is still an
imminent threat from a hurricane.
We will do everything possible to keep you informed by use of group
emails and the church voicemail message system.
If in doubt,
please call us at 813-689-1787. |

Hurricane
Host Families and Guests Program |
|
Our Social Concerns Committee will
again offer help to Immanuel families in evacuation zones who have
nowhere to go or are unable to go to a hurricane shelter because of
health concerns or other reasons.
Social Concerns will match evacuees with homes having extra bedrooms or
facilities.
You can help us. The Committee needs your participation to make this
program a success and to give comfort to those with special needs.
See the surveys for Evacuees and volunteer Home Hosts in the breezeway
or call the church office at 813-689-1787. |

IS IT SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY DAY?
or .......
IS IT VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL REUNION DAY?
It's BOTH!!!
Our Sunday School Rally will also be a great reunion of all our
Vacation Bible School friends.
On September 7th we will celebrate the new Sunday School year by
singing our favorite "This Little Light of Mine" in church with
the adult choir.
Between services we will be introduced to our exciting new
schedule and class locations. There will be lots of snacks to
nibble on, too.
Join us for the chance to be with all our friends from Vacation
Bible School as well as those from other schools who we only see
on Sunday mornings.
You're going to see pictures of yourself on the big screen
singing, doing craft projects, hugging your new friends and
learning about Jesus, your Forever Friend.
See You On Sunday, September 7th!

Pairs & Spares |
|
WHAT IS "PAIRS AND SPARES"?
An informal gathering of Immanuel married and single adults for the purpose of getting
to know each other better. Yes, we worship together, and we smile and
say "Hello" in the breezeway -- but "Pairs and Spares" gives us an
opportunity to become friends.
WHO CAN JOIN?
You don't "join" and there is no membership list. You just watch the
Blue News or check the online calendar for the upcoming social activity
and if it fits into your schedule you sign up and say "I'll be there!"
WHEN DO YOU MEET?
There are no regularly scheduled dates and times for activities.
Activities are held monthly, normally on a Saturday. Depending on the
event, the scheduled time can range from noon, late afternoon to
evening. WHERE DO YOU
MEET?
Activities are normally held at a
location in the Brandon area, although we have had activities outside of
Brandon, too. Some of the past events included a luncheon cruise of
Tampa Bay, Dinner Theater in Brandon, barbeque at someone's home in
Brandon and a Bunco Party in the Youth Room at the church.
FOR ADULTS ONLY?
Yes, even parents with children need a "date night," so it's a
once-a-month time to find a sitter or leave the bigger kids at home
while Mom and Dad get a chance to visit with each other and other
"grown-ups."
NEED IDEAS?
We sure do! It's important that our activities meet the budget and
interests of our Immanuel Family. We will happily consider any suggestions you wish to submit to
the names shown for our activities.
We Hope to See You Soon! |
