I Really Like Getting Gifts
I know, I know, Christmas is about giving gifts not receiving them but lets be honest, we love getting gifts. I love getting gifts, I love getting a gift that I know someone has taken time to think about me and find the gift that is just for me. Some great memories of Christmas are those years that I really, really wanted something and I waited what seemed like years to wait for Christmas to get it. Then Christmas day…
Spring Break Mission Trip 2018
I would like to invite you to pray about going on Emmanuel’s next mission trip to Latvia. We will once again partner with Majvieta (The Dwelling Place) in Riga. At this time, Sharon Lawrence and Chelsea Otey are planning on going. I am looking for a few more men and women to go. We will be doing some light painting and work on their church. We will spend time with their church family and make lasting relationships. We will encourage…
Rest is Important
The majority of the time I’m a Martha not a Mary (Luke 10), I know that. I work hard to focus during the times in my life that I need to focus on “Sitting at the Feet of Jesus”. There are many days that I have to remind myself to “Just Relax”. It drives Lisa a little crazy when I have multiple days off because I don’t “sit” well. I find myself with always a task or a list of…
Notes From Mark
December 13th our children will be presenting the musical Candy Cane Lane. This is a moment you will want to be sure and attend. Following our musical, the Children’s Ministry Team will be hosting a Christmas Party in our gym. This party is for everyone and we hope you will be there to greet our guests. It promises to be a special time of fellowship. As each child leaves they will be given a stocking filled with goodies! This is…
Thank You
Dear Church Family, On behalf of my step-mom Rosemary and my family, I want to thank you so much for all the thoughts, concern, love, prayers, hugs, cards, food and calls during our time of loss. You ministered to me, and my family, in a great way. Emmanuel, we are family. We take care of each other. We love God and we love each other. I am a blessed man and I am glad to be your pastor. Thanks for…
This Sunday night during our Evening worship service the Mission Team that just returned from Latvia will be sharing about the trip. We will be sharing about the vision and passion of the leaders of Majvieta Church as well as what we hope the future holds for future ways that WE as EBC can continue to partner with our brothers and sisters in Latvia. More to the point we are looking for a new team of mission partners that will…
Bits and Pieces
What a sweet day we had at EBC this past Sunday! It was exciting to hear the first children’s handbell choir of EBC play in our service, they did a beautiful job and I am so proud of them. Thank you parents for your faithfulness in making sure they are where they need to be. If you missed the first week of The Call Of Christmas we heard the story of Zechariah. This week we will hear Mary’s story and…
Caring and Sharing
Caring and Sharing is a program offered and organized by the churches of the Weatherford Ministerial Alliance, with the support of Corn Heritage Villages, SWOSU, local organizations and individual donors, to help families in need from Weatherford to have a great Christmas. Each year, Emmanuel gathers toys and provides manpower to conduct Caring and Sharing. This year, our age group is 2 to 4 years old, boys and girls. Last year, 108 children were served in this age group. We…
How did EBC get to Latvia (Part 2)
We didn’t just begin getting to know Latvia last year either. Just a few years ago we had a few EBC members travel to Latvia with the Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma where they began to pray over the country, ministry in their church and love the people. Last week, we sent 5 men to Latvia to begin working with Majvieta “Church”. We began building relationships with the people for the church, listening to their vision, their struggles and their victories…
Notes from Mark
This week is Thanksgiving, next Sunday begins our series on The Call Of Christmas and our Hanging Of The Green service and soon will be our children’s musical Candy Cane Lane on December 13 – the Christmas season is upon us! This Sunday is The Call To Preparation. The drama will focus on Zechariah and his call to be father in old age. Yet not just a father, but the father of John the Baptist! As I was reviewing this…
