WITHIN OUR CHURCH DOORS
ANGLICAN CHURCH WOMEN (ACW)
Fiona Brownlee instructed our group in making Anglican Prayer Beads.
The ACW help support our church in many different ways and also has supported a number of caring organizations in the community, nationally, and internationally. All the women of the church belong to the ACW. The plans each year include activities that support three areas of focus for the women in the parish: 1) Fellowship and Social Connection; 2) Faith and Life Enrichment; and 3) Meaningful Community and Outreach Projects.
The ACW have initiated a COFFEE CONNECTION time for all parishioners to get together on a regular basis. Parishioners and friends meet at the Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum (5007-50 Avenue) for coffee and conversation. This is an ongoing event at 10:00 AM on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month.
PASTORAL CARE TEAM
An informal team stays in touch with some of our church community who are unable to attend church regularly. Home visits, focusing on companionship as well as spiritual needs, are arranged with individuals at their convenience. Security checks are required for members of the team.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Children of pre-school and elementary school age are welcome to join in activities that help them to get to know the Gospel and God. Families with children are welcome to join us. Sunday School begins at 10:00 AM in the church hall.
Immanuel Anglican Church complies with all Anglican Diocesan guidelines for providing a safe environment for children, including the screening of all children’s program leaders.
VESTRY/LEADERSHIP TEAM
Vestry makes informed decisions regarding the Vision for the Church and the follow through of actions that are required for these plans. The team is also responsible for making the decisions regarding the finances of the church.
WORSHIP TEAM
There are many ways that you can be involved in the worship service:
- Altar Guild – preparing the altar for regular services as well as any special services.
- Music – helping to choose the music for the service and/or providing the music through playing the piano, guitar, or other musical instrument.
- Welcoming and greeting people as they arrive, reading scripture, leading the prayers of the people, and serving communion during the service.
