Welcome to the Sunday Service
and Digital Bulletin
We're thrilled you've decided to join us for this week's digital service! Now that we are live in Totowa and Roxbury through the end of October (see the details below!), we are streaming our services live on Facebook and YouTube at new times: 10:00am, 11:30am, and 6:30pm. Join in there to not only view the service, but be encouraged by interacting with others who are joining in worship with you!
You can also watch the service anytime on-demand throughout the week using the video below.
Let's continue to look to Jesus together to make us more like Him and bring His hope to the world around us!

DID YOU SEE THE EXCITING NEWS? WE'RE MEETING IN PERSON STARTING SUNDAY!
This week, we shared some exciting news about our next phase of gathering!
For five Sundays (September 27th-October 25th) we are going to be gathering for in-person, live worship services in two locations!
Here are some key things to know about these 5 special weeks:
- Totowa Campus will meet at 10am in the rear parking lot of the Totowa Campus
- Roxbury Campus will be meeting at 10:30am at the Horseshoe Lake Band Shell in Roxbury
Here are some key things to know about these 5 special weeks:
- It's BYOC: Bring your own chair from home, and Bring your own coffee (we won't be serving coffee)
- It's also BYOM... bring your own mask. You'll need it for times you can't adequately distance in coming and going, or to use the bathroom
- If attending in person, you must practice physical distancing from people who are not from your household. If you have young children who this may be hard for, consider continuing to tune in from home during this stage.
- There is no children's ministry available during these services. eTown continues to be closed until further notice
- You can still watch the services online from home if you don't come in person. We'll stream them live from Totowa at 10:00am, 11:30am, and 6:30pm. **note, the later streams are simply replays of the 10am service
- These services are outside! Dress accordingly, as some mornings may be chilly
- You don't need to register to come. Just show up!
- We'll be making decisions some time in October about live services following these 5 weeks. Stay tuned.
- There is a chance we may add live services in Ringwood and/or Glen Rock during these weeks--again, stay tuned!
FALL COMMUNITIES KICKOFF IS NEXT WEEK!
Now is the time to plug in to a community near you--whether in-person, or virtual!
We may be out of rhythm as a church in many ways during this crisis, but the church is alive, well, and on mission! One of the best ways to participate in that mission is in community.
Each week in the fall, winter, and spring, our community groups meet in over 100 places all around the area, with 1000+ people connected in relationship, growing, and going to the world with the Gospel.
If you would like to know more about groups in your area, or if you would like more information about what it looks like to lead/host a group, click the link below!
The next season of communities begins in September!

TOGETHER, WE'RE GIVING DURING THIS CRISIS
Because of your generosity, we're able to meet the needs of our community... together.
There are so many needs in the communities surrounding Emergence. This crisis has only made those needs even more apparent. Thankfully, we have amazing friends in local missions organizations that we can partner with to help get them what they need to meet the needs in our area so well--and to point many to Jesus as they do it.
Over 7 weeks (from May 3-June 14), we've made financial contributions to 7 different ministries & organizations in our area in order to help meet the unique needs posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Your continued generosity during this time makes this possible. Check back each week to get updates on these special gifts.
