Members of Emmanuel, our annual fall workday is almost here.  Come on Saturday, October 14, at 9:00 a.m. for a time of fellowship and “working out” or you can also work inside.

We have Sunday school classes for adults and children ages 2 and up. It starts at 11:15 a.m. The children will start with Opening Exercises in the sanctuary followed by classroom instruction. Adults will meet in Fellowship Hall for a class on the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Joe and Myranda met in high school in Sacramento, CA. Joe attended Moody Bible Institute while Myranda attended UC Berkeley, the anti-Moody Bible Institute. They were married in 2018 after Myranda graduated from Berkeley and they moved to Chicago for Joe to finish his undergraduate degree in Theology. After Joe graduated in 2020, they moved to Glenside, PA for Joe to attend Westminster Theological Seminary. Myranda works at the seminary as the program director for the PhD and ThM programs. They had their first child, Benjamin Clark, on October 5, 2022. Joe hopes to graduate from WTS in May of 2024.
