We are monitoring the weather forecast for this weekend. Out of an abundance of caution, we will not hold the 8:30 a.m. service, 9:30 a.m. formation, or 5:00 p.m. Evensong on Sunday. At this time, we plan to proceed with the 10:30 a.m. service.
We will share official updates and any further changes by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24. Updates will be communicated via email, our website, and social media.
A part of the Athens, GA community since 1843.
We're Emmanuel.

A lot is happening

Wildflower Garden
We are planning a wildflower garden in the apple orchard. To help us improve the soil, we need lots of leaves, woodchips, compost, or pine straw. Please bring any of these to the apple orchard at church on Friday, January 23rd from 1-3p.m or on Saturday January 24th from 10am-12p.m.
Thanks for your support,
Lili, Linda, and Barbara
Greeters at Emmanuel
Although we have a great group of dedicated individuals serving as Emmanuel Greeters, we would like to expand our membership in 2026. The responsibility involves arriving 15 – 20 minutes before the service, opening the front door, placing the Welcome Sign outside and searching for newcomers at Emmanuel and welcoming them. While all of us are looking to welcome newcomers, it is good to have a group focused each week on this important ministry.
Contact dwise@emmanuelathens.org for information about both ministries.
