Throughout the year we host a variety of Community Support Groups which provide a safe and engaging environment in which participants grow in their understanding of their shared struggles and support each other towards health, healing, and wholeness. All groups are facilitated by trained, compassionate volunteers and applications are open to all.

Thursdays from 6:30-8:30pm

The Sanctuary Course explores the realities of mental health and illness, as well as the vital need for faith-based community conversations about these topics. Nine sessions are accompanied by compelling films that feature the stories of Christians living with mental health challenges, along with the insights of psychologists, theologians, and mental health professionals.

 

Cost is $20 payable at the first meeting.

FOOD PANTRY
Each month, Emmanuel works at providing additional food security for around 15 households through a donation-based food pantry program. Donors can choose one item to bring to the church on a monthly basis with suggested donations and quantities listed around $15/month.
 
 
 
 
FOOD FOR COMFORT
Food for Comfort is a team of volunteers who provide short-notice meals to support people going through stressful seasons in life such as surgery/hospitalization, extended illness, or a new baby. You can make a meal or order takeout and we’re always looking for extra help!
 
 
 
FREEZER MEALS

Our Care Ministry keeps a small freezer stocked with frozen meals, muffins, and cookies to fill in gaps for people where scheduled meal support is difficult.

If you’d like to help us stock the freezer, we just need clearly labelled food to help us with dietary restrictions.

 
 
 
 
OKIHTCITAWAK PATROL GROUP SANDWICHES
