Immanuel's Good Samaritan Account

Offering envelopes may be left at the church office. Please remember to give during this time we are unable to worship.

Your help is needed to make sure offerings are designated according to your wishes.  Write "missions" or "home" on the memo line at the lower left corner of your check with a corresponding dollar amount.
