Loving, Faithful Engagement!

Great work continues to be done at the new church plant in Norcross, Georgia, Emmanuel Lutheran Church! This past Saturday was an absolute dynamite night of ministry! Thanks be to God for each of you who made such an impact!!! The hot coffee and hot tea were a big hit and helped everyone out on a cold night. It was so wonderful to see so many new conversations and engagements where people’s questions were heard and the Gospel was shared. Thanks be to God for Vicar Phil Owen and his wife Sabrina for their faithfulness in this mission!

Emmanuel Lutheran meets every Saturday night for Divine Service at Siloam Korean Church (1870 Willow Trail Parkway in Norcross). Go to EmmanuelLutheran.net for more information on Bible Studies and Community Engagement.

Emmanuel Norcross Phase 3!

The Lord has blessed this mission from the start! We thank God for the opportunity for us to share the Gospel with hundreds of people, many who had never heard it before! It has been a beautiful season for us to do ministry at Lillian Webb Park rain, cold, or shine!

The Lord has now opened up a door for us to do ministry in a brand new location in Norcross. Siloam Korean Church has graciously allowed us to have ministry space on the campus that is tailor made for Emmanuel Lutheran. We praise God for these brothers and sisters in Christ and our opportunity to gather this very Saturday, October 4 at 6 PM. The new location is 1870 Willow Creek Parkway in Norcross. This will be a most important gathering, for we will be discussing Phase 3 of this awesome ministry! We want you there for your ideas, encouragement, and prayers! All are welcome!

Next T & C: WORSHIP

Invite friends and come to our the next Topic and Discussion at Emmanuel Lutheran Church Plant in Norcross! The Topic is: WORSHIP.

What is worship? What does it mean to worship? What happened in the Bible when people worshipped God? What pleases God in worship? Should the worship of God be convenient? Or culturally accommodating? Or are other things happening there? Looking forward to it!!!

3 Day Countdown!

Phase 2 of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, the new LCMS mission to Norcross, Georgia begins in 3 days! Starting on September 14, Emmanuel will have a regular Biblical study called Topic & Conversation which will involve direct engagement with the Norcross community. People should begin to gather around 5:45 PM by the fountain at Lillian Webb Park (5 College St. Norcross).

TOPIC & CONVERSATION will then begin at 6:00 PM by the fountain. Just bring along a Bible and a lawn chair. Be prepared to welcome new comers as they just jump in and join the conversation! Some light refreshments will be offered as well.

DIVINE SERVICE – At 7:15 PM, Divine Service will be held at the Norcross Community Center (10 College St. Norcross). It is within a 2 minute walking distance!

For either lifelong Lutherans who need God’s Word and Gifts on a Saturday night, or new people seeking out Biblical teaching and worship, this mission is for you!

Again, we are thankful for a team of leaders committed to this work and we are approaching this church plant with a “first fruits” mentality. This work is not an afterthought, but an intentional press of God’s Word and the grace of Christ into this community. We know that the Lord. only creates saving faith through His Word so . . . we aim to bring the Word of God to that area of Norcross each and every Saturday!

Join the Odd Circles (like Meet Up but free!) to stay tuned below. https://www.oddcircles.com/groups/5730afe6-03ef-4878-81ea-97db33339a17/Topic%20and%20Conversation

We ask for your prayers over the next 3 days, that our Lord will put the people in our path that are lost, hurting, and need to hear the precious Good News of Jesus. Thanks!

EMMANUEL Lutheran Phase 2

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

Emmanuel Lutheran Church, the new LCMS mission to Norcross, Georgia is moving to Saturday nights. Starting on September 14, Emmanuel will have a regular Biblical study, interface with the Norcross community, and Divine Service every Saturday.

Emmanuel is embracing a new way of engaging the community of Norcross called TOPIC & CONVERSATION. In our present 2D context of soundbites and social media, meaningful dialogue around the Word of God is being lost. People are losing the ability to listen, reason, or even converse. Topic and Conversation provides an avenue to introduce issues that are meaningful to all people and then provide a framework where there can be civil and respectful discourse. In the TOPIC & CONVERSATION study, we expect to be engaging with people who are not yet grounded in the Biblical narrative and do not yet believe in the finished work of Christ. That is why we are doing this. This won’t trip us out. We welcome the chance to engage with those outside of the faith! Each of these T & C events sponsored by the new mission in Norcross, Emmanuel Lutheran Church will be held in public at the Lillian Webb Park (5 College St. Norcross).

TOPIC & CONVERSATION will begin at 6:00 PM by the fountain. Refreshments will be served to all participants and be prepared with a Bible and a lawn chair. Be prepared to welcome new comers as they just jump in and join the conversation.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE

Gather – 5:45 PM

Topic and conversation – starts 6 PM and ends at 7 PM
Location: Lillian Webb Park (5 College St, Norcross)

7:15 Divine Service (within 2 minute walking distance!)
Location: The Norcross Community Center (10 College St., Norcross)

We have a team of leaders committed to this work and we are approaching this church plant with a “first fruits” mentality. This work is not an afterthought, but an intentional press of God’s Word and the grace of Christ into this community. Thank you for your prayers for this work… and the effort you have put into establishing another place where sinners can receive God’s life-saving gifts in Christ! We are very excited about this next phase and your possible participation in this! I am committed to serving each Saturday night so that there is consistency in pastoral care.

In Christ,

Pastor Tim Droegemueller
