UNCORKED CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PASTORS: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Last night marked a memorable first at Emmanuel as we hosted our inaugural Uncorked with the Pastors event—and what a night it was!
The evening was filled with laughter, insight, and a few surprises as we spun the “Question Wheel,” giving each pastor two minutes to respond to a mix of thoughtful and lighthearted questions. From personal reflections—like how they spend their day off—to meaningful topics such as their favorite Bible passages, the conversation offered a glimpse into both their lives and their faith.
Deacon Jim kept the energy high as a lively and engaging emcee, and the audience even had a chance to ask questions of their own, adding to the fun and spontaneity of the night.
It was truly an evening of connection, marked by both laughter and a few heartfelt moments—one we won’t soon forget.
