Are We Home?

Immanuel Methodist Church has opened their doors to us.
Let me give you some observations I have had since we moved in after our last service.

1.) Immanuel's Pastor,  Jackie Havis- Shear who seems to go by Pastor Jackie, is about as kind and welcoming as anyone you'd ever want to meet. She and I are developing a wonderful friendship already.

2.) Immanuel's "sound guy and technician" Dave Rader,  has been very wonderful, encouraging and helpful. Dave is also a musician and plays the bass guitar for their contemporary service.

3.) The church is very comfortable, nice pews, traditional, and offers projection screens for words or video. There is a loft for overflow congregation. The basement area has a nice kitchen, and dining area as well as Sunday school classrooms, a nursery fully stocked with plenty of toys and games. There is also a rehearsal area in the basement for choir warm up.

4.) There is ramp access to the sanctuary on the north side of the building with access to the sanctuary.

5. Pastor Jackie and I are working out such things as scheduling and weddings and events. There is a very nice secretary, Anita Seehausen.

What can you do?  Please mark your calendars for this coming Sunday to be part of the big, Family Fellowship Lunch. A very nice lunch is going to be provided by PCF and we will be coming together to meet and thank the people of Immanuel Methodist for opening their doors to us. The lunch will be served beginning at 12:00 noon. Praise Community Fellowship will not be having a service this Sunday because of this special lunch with our new hosting church family. All are welcome to attend.

I am working with Brad Joiner who will be coordinating the lunch. If you would like to volunteer to help with this celebration Sunday please email Brad Joiner at bradleyjoiner1@gmail.com

I look forward to seeing all of you This Sunday, January 25th at our new location, Immanuel Methodist Church, 800 North main Street, Edwardsville.

Love, pastor kent
