Summer
Summer at Emmanuel
There are so many opportunities to connect this summer! Here are some of the ways you can take advantage of summer 2025 to “find your people!”
Outdoor Worship — August!
Join us for outdoor services on August 3, 10, 17, and 24!
9:00am — English service
10:30am — Bilingual service
Every August, we bring our services outdoors to Haffeman Pavilion at the Shoreview Community Center. In addition to the English and Bilingual (Spanish) services, kids and families will be able to use the amazing destination playground at the Community Center and enjoy treats and fellowship with one another each week.
Bring your lawn chairs, sun screen, friends and neighbors! In case of inclement weather, worship services will be held indoors at the Shoreview Community Center.
We’ll see you there!
Outdoor Baptism
Outdoor Baptism | August 10, 3:00pm
Lake Johanna Island, University of Northwestern, St. Paul
If you are a follower of Jesus but you’ve never been baptized, this is a wonderful way to communicate your desire to align with Christ and with His church. We’d love to help you take this next step. Perhaps you’ve been baptized at some earlier time in your life but for whatever reason, you’d like to make a public affirmation of baptism and profession of faith—we would welcome that as well. You can sign up here and one of our pastors will follow-up with you. For more information contact Myndi Lawrence. (Myndi.lawrence@emmanuelcovenant.com)
Please register by July 27 if you would like to participate!
Visit our Baptism Page for more information about baptism or about how we celebrate baptism as a community.

PARK PLAY GROUP | Starts June 12
Every summer a group of ECC parents (mostly moms but dads are welcome too!) meet at local area parks one morning a week for a fun, informal play time. This summer we want to be even more intentional about inviting newcomers to ECC as well as friends from our neighborhoods to come to these fun outings, bring their kids, and get to know us. It’s a great way to BLESS our neighborhoods. We will meet on Thursdays from 9:30-11:00am.
Our first outing is June 12 at Kohler Meadows Park (Vadnais Heights).

Young Adults Lunch
TWENTY-SOMETHINGS on the TWENTY-SOMETHINGth!!
A monthly gathering for the poor, lost, and lowly strung up in the chasm between childhood and adulting… and for thriving young adults too.
At ECC we believe people in ALL stages of life need a soft place to land. This is why we’ve created a new thing for our “twenty-somethings” – our adulting kids (you’re still our kids!) who often are overlooked during the hustle of the rapid shift from childhood to adulthood.
Our young adults do a tremendous amount of serving, so we would like to serve YOU just once a month as a way to say “thank you” and to replenish your spirit!
Please join us at the Rasmussen’s home after the second service on the last Sunday of each month for a warm, home-cooked meal and fellowship around the table. Stay as little or as long as you want — the day and the space are yours!
For the address or to join the monthly text chain send a message to dan@emmanuel.church or (612) 524-8195.
Dates and themes (because FUN!) are listed here.
