Emmanuel Baptist Church

October 3, 2023

EBC Family,

I encourage you to join us this Sunday afternoon from 3:00-6:00 for Ignite Evangelism Training where you can learn how to turn normal conversations with others into Gospel conversations. Childcare from babies to 6th grade is provided for those who RSVP - call the church office. We will have dinner together after the training. This will not be 3 hours of lecturing. There will be breakout times for you to practice sharing your faith. Due to the Evangelism Training, we will take a break from Sunday night Seminary this week and pick it back up on 10/15.

We had 8 people attend our Next Steps class last Sunday. Pray that God will use this October class to ground their faith, affirm their decision to follow Christ, and help them get on the path of growing in the knowledge and grace of Jesus.

Don’t forget to do your homework (Chapter 3) in the Baptist Faith and Message Blue Book this week. The assignments are below.

I am grateful to belong to the Emmanuel Family with you,

Pastor Clint

Dinner for 8

Dinner for Eight is for EVERYONE! These dinners are a way for the people of Emmanuel to connect with one another. It is also an opportunity to invite friends and neighbors who don’t have a church home to experience Christian community informally. The emphasis is on fun and fellowship, so you don’t have to be a great cook to participate!

Modeled on what Jesus loved to do (see Luke 5, 9, 19, and 22) – We invite you to share meals and Christian fellowship with new friends!

Dinner for 8 Basics:

• Groups of 6 people gather once a month for a meal.

• The groups’ goal is to invite another couple or 2 singles into their group for dinner, making their group a Dinner for 8.

• This is not about meeting with your current circle of Emmanuel friends. This is about meeting new people you might not otherwise connect with.

• Each month, a different couple will be in charge of hosting. It can be at your home, favorite restaurant, or a picnic in the park!

Fill out a card on the Welcome Desk!
