We are expanding our partnership with BCPS/Berks Connections in yet another way…

You’ll see soon the addition of a “Second Chance Library” to the Immanuel Campus!! These libraries were created by BCPS R3 clients. "Making these libraries and donating them to organizations provides an opportunity for R3 participants to not only sharpen the skills they have learned but to give back to the community as well." (Nikki Schnovel, BCPS Co-Executive Director) To learn more about BCPS/BerksConnections visit their f acebook page or www.berksconnections.org.

Immanuel’s library will feature children’s books!! We want to give SECOND CHANCES to those books that may no longer be read in your home but could bring enjoyment to someone else in our community.

Books can be dropped off at IUCC – if dropping off outside of office hours – the blue bin is available.

Should you or someone you care for be in need of pastoral support

at any time please contact the church office at 610-777-7107 or [email protected]

Prayers are powerful! If you or someone you know is in need of prayers, please let us know. It is always confidential. There are prayer cards in the sanctuary or you can contact the church office.
