A Deep Knowing:
Experiencing Emmanuel
Through Every Part of Our Lives 

Mission u participants will study the times in the Bible when people experienced Emmanuel, or “God with us.” How do we discern God’s presence and call on our lives in times of joy and in times of sadness, fear, or anxiety? What can we learn from these Emmanuel encounters in the Bible to help inform our discernment to faith, hope, and love in action?

Mission u is for YOU!

United Women in Faith is excited to invite you to this inspiring weekend that will bring people together to explore what it means to practice hope in uncertain times.

This curriculum is designed to help participants take a step back and a closer look at the various ways we see Emmanuel within and around biblical stories. 

What can it look like to walk with God as people who face adversity, issues of justice, and a heritage of relational and spiritual connections? This curriculum encourages participants to seek out and name the experiences of Emmanuel from biblical times to our present day as we look toward our future in faith.

Make sure to purchase the study book in advance.
