Emmanuel Baptist Church

He is considered one of the greatest men of God in the ancient world, a counselor to kings and a writer whose Holy Spirit-inspired OT book is quoted more often in the NT than any other, except Psalms. When our Lord Jesus preached His very first sermon, He chose for His text a passage from this man’s writings, which have been compared to the book of Romans for theological depth and a sweeping vision of God.

Isaiah was a man of considerable communication skills and political connection. But he is more than an influential preacher. Isaiah is numbered among those rarified, God-enthralled men called prophets, who were enabled to see what God was going to do in the future as though it had already happened. Isaiah’s oracles juxtapose the immediate and the future, with words that have a bearing in the moment, but carry us to the far away and powerful, the miraculous and wonderful that is yet to come. He paints a picture in words of what was, and what was yet to come. What had been and what had to be.

Throughout the Book he wrote, Isaiah foretold of One who would be sent. A Son. A gift. A Savior, which has been sent Unto Us… Join us Sundays at 11 AM throughout December as we consider the Babe of Bethlehem.

The Christmas Experience is an event for the entire family. During this event families will spend time creating gingerbread houses, decorating ornaments, judging a cookie contest, and enjoying a meal together.

This event is hosted by Emmanuel Baptist Church and will take place on Sunday December 9th, 2018 from 5:00-7:00 PM.

Although the event is free we do ask that you take a moment to register online here so we can plan accordingly.

We hope to see you soon!

We are having a celebration, and YOU are invited! This year, Emmanuel Baptist Church celebrates her 20th Anniversary, and to celebrate, we are having four nights of special services, and we want the whole community to come.

Beginning August 12, and continuing through August 15, we will hold nightly services at 7 PM. You can even come early at 6 and join us for a special fellowship time each night.  Come experience wonderful, inspiring music, and a message straight from God’s Word. Bro. Keith Joseph, a former pastor at EBC, will be returning from Georgia to deliver the messages each evening.

The Tuesday night service will feature music from the Townsmen Quartet, a wonderful singing group featuring Stanton’s own Bro. Ben Liston.

 

 

After years of wear and tear, the flooring in the Worship Center is seriously in need of replacement. After collecting multiple quotes, and speaking to many vendors, the Deacons and Pastor are recommending replacing the carpet in the Worship Center with a safe, convenient, multi-purpose flooring. The Church has approved the project, contingent on sufficient giving from the Congregation.

But we need your help!

On 4/29/2018, we will begin taking collections for a special offering to replace all the flooring in the Worship Center. To complete this project, we will need $45,000 to be raised by the Congregation. The product we have chosen will be safe for UPWARD and youth activities, durable, easy to clean, good for fellowship meetings, and pleasing to the eye!

What can you do?

• Ask God what He wants you to give.
• Bring your best offering, over and above your regular giving on 4/29.
• Make a pledge for on-going support.

We will not begin the work UNTIL we have received $45,000 in pledges AND have collected $25,000 in cash. Let’s do all that we can to kick this project off right on 4/29!

Together, Transforming the Future through Sacrificial Giving.

The Pastor, in cooperation with the Deacons and the Budget and Finance Team, have called a Special Business Meeting on 4/15,  to consider two projects aimed at improving our facilities. Please join us after church to hear about these exciting opportunities, and to see how you can be a part! A pot-luck will follow immediately after service, with a presentation during the luncheon. Please bring a dish to share. All are welcome to attend.

A “red-letter day” is a day that you will always remember because something good happened to you on that day. A red-letter day is any day of special significance or opportunity. Its roots are in classical antiquity; for instance, important days are indicated in red in a calendar dating from the Roman Republic.  Many calendars still indicate special dates in red instead of black.

But of all the Red Letters, the most important are the words of Jesus Christ, preserved for us in the Bible. These words, written in red in so many of our Bibles, and uttered by Christ from the Cross, remind us of something good that happened in the face of something that seemed so tragic.  Join us each week for “Red-Letter Day.”

March 18, 11 AM: “Father, forgive them…”

March 25, 11 AM: “I thirst…”

March 30, 7 PM: “It is finished…”

April 1, 11 AM: “Today you will be with me in Paradise…”

 

Here’s a wonderful opportunity for you to serve the Lord by serving His Church! Please join us for a Church Work Day. Let’s keep God’s House safe and clean! Please join us Saturday, February 24, from 9:00 AM until the work is done.

Projects have been identified, and supplies will be made available. All we need is for you to invest a bit of time, and some elbow-grease.
