Education at Emmanuel
THIS WEEK’S SUNDAY FORUM. The Great Commission at Emmanuel! Come and See - Rwanda!
Watch the Sunday Forum video to hear from those who traveled to Rwanda this year with Pastor Rick and Howard Isaacson on behalf of the Emmanuel Lutheran Global Seminary. Then join us this Sunday at 10:15 AM as we share more about our experiences from our trip this past January.
We will highlight three key aspects of the journey: tourism, education, and witnessing the good work of the Emmanuel Lutheran Global Seminary. Hear stories from the trip, including time spent in Istanbul, a safari at Akagera National Park, and meaningful interactions with students and people throughout Rwanda—from marketplaces and schools to villages across the country.
Come at 10:15 AM on Sunday to see more photographs, hear additional stories, and learn about the impact of this trip. You might even be inspired to join us next January!.
LECTIONARY PLUS: Prepare for Worship This Sunday.
This Week’s Readings: Exodus 17:1–7 • John 4:5-42
Watch the video to hear about this week’s readings, which highlight two powerful stories: the Samaritan woman at the well and children who do not have enough water to drink.
In these texts, we see how people sometimes test God and question His leadership, while also being reminded of God’s promise of living water that sustains us.
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Bliese shares more in his sermon, exploring the contrast between testing and temptation and reflecting on what it means to receive the living water Christ offers.
