To celebrate Immanuel’s 200th Anniversary this year, we have invited renowned civil rights leader, Bishop William Barber II, to speak on Sunday, May 5th at 3pm. Bishop Barber is a preacher, social activist, author and sought-after public speaker who became nationally known for his leadership with the Moral Monday movement in North Carolina. He has recently begun a new phase of his work as the founding director of the Center for Public Theology & Public Policy at Yale Divinity School.

This is an exciting opportunity for Immanuel, and we hope our sanctuary is filled to capacity to hear Bishop Barber’s powerful message of “Challenge and Hope.” There will be many ways for all of us to get involved in spreading the work before hand and welcoming visitors that afternoon. But for now, please save the date!
