Join our International Choir!

Planning is under way for our second International Sunday, to be held on Sunday 23rd April. 

Last year's was a great celebration of the diversity God has brought amongst us at Emmanuel.

This year, we are looking forward to celebrating that again and - new for this year - we are looking to put together an international singing group to take part in the Sunday meeting.

If you're interested, see Ryan Marklew as soon as possible. Or email:

We are also inviting everyone to wear national dress of a country, either of their birth or that they have a connection with, and register the country of their birth with us, so that we can have a flag for every nation represented.
