Welcome to Emmanuel ChurchWelcome to the Emmanuel Church web site. We have designed this site with two audiences in mind: those who seek a spiritual home and those who already are members of Emmanuel Church.First, those who seek a spiritual home. Finding a community of people with whom you can travel the spiritual journey can be a daunting task. Churches can be difficult places to “penetrate.” You walk in on a typical Sunday morning hoping to “check us out” and you find people who know each other and are comfortable with the way things are. It can be intimidating to begin conversations, get to know people, introduce yourself to the rector and so on. We hope that you will find us to be warm, friendly people who are eager to get to know you. The web site will help you to get to know about Emmanuel Church, its people, and its programs. If we have done our job, you will see from this site that Emmanuel is comprised of people who are passionate about traveling the spiritual path together. Our interests are diverse, but our areas of focus include worship and music, children’s ministry, adult Christian formation, and outreach. We also have a strong attachment to our beautiful building, which was built in 1902 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Those who are already members of Emmanuel Church will find useful information about ministry opportunities and upcoming events. Obviously there is much more on the site so please browse at your leisure. If you have questions about Emmanuel Church or suggestions for the web site, please email me at clergy@emmanuelnewport.org. Thank you. Stephanie Shoemaker Priest in Charge |
