Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill Parish Notes
The Fourth Sunday of Advent December 23, 2018
IN THE NAME OF CHRIST we welcome you to Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill! Immanuel is an Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Virginia, and is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion. Immanuel was founded by the Virginia Theological Seminary. We are one parish that worships in two locations, in Zabriskie Chapel (3606 Seminary Road) and in Immanuel Chapel (3737 Seminary Road) on the seminary grounds.
A fully-staffed nursery is available in both chapels for those parents who would like to take advantage of this ministry. An usher would be happy to assist you in making your children comfortable and welcome. Please join us after the Eucharists for coffee and give us an opportunity to meet you. From mid-September through May we also offer adult education and Sunday School opportunities.
