Today's blessing:

Today's blessing is my church home. We have been so blessed through Emmanuel Baptist Church in so many ways. We have found a loving church family that has taken us in, loved us, and given us a safe place to grow and heal. I am amazed at how God has blessed this church in so many ways! We are a growing congregation and it is so fun to be a part of a growing church!! The congregation is one of the most diverse groups of people that I have ever encountered! We have retired ministers, missionaries, retired military, bikers (Christian Motorcyle Association), and our pastor is even a retired police officer!! There is always someone interesting to talk to and something new to learn about a brother or sister in Christ!! Oh, and speaking of our pastor, Bro. Bill is simply the best. He has only been preaching for a little over three years, but God has truly blessed him and is blessing his ministry. He preaches God's word with confidence and strength. He has a true pastor's heart and his love for his congregation is so apparent, and his love for the Lord is even more visible. He has been a real blessing and encouragement to us. Then there is Bro. Billy, our worship minister. He is one of the most talented men I have ever met. He can play anything - and I mean anything- on the piano. I love to hear him sing, and he is always sensitive to the spirit of God in leading our worship. He also teaches iur adult Sunday school class and does a terrific job!!
Well, I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea... We love our church home!!
