We will be meeting in the fellowship hall for Wednesday Evening Prayer/Bible Study Services until we outgrow that facility.
We are making the move in order to conserve electricity and in order to have a more “cozy” atmosphere.

We now have a Sunday School class for pre-schoolers, 1-3 grade, 4-6 grade, and 7-12 grade. A new class taught by the pastor will be for all folks who do not have enrollment in any other Sunday School class.
If you do not currently attend Sunday School, we invite you to enroll today and attend next Sunday. You will receive a blessing for sure!
Immanuel So. Baptist Church welcomes Brian and Kelly Willis and family, and Lonna Kennedy into our congregation!
We pray that you will be blessed here, so that you can be a blessing to others!
Tuesday, the Muskogee Baptist Association will host a Sunday School Leader’s Conference at Boston Avenue Baptist Church in Muskogee. We will take a van and leave at 6 pm. Will will return sometime around 9:30. Please eat supper before you come, as we won’t be stopping along the way.
All Sunday School teachers, assistants, directors, and those interested in teaching a Sunday School class are encouraged to attend.
If you have any questions, please call Bro Rick at the church office: 485-5115.
Brother Bill Crow with the support of his wife, Sherry, served diligently at Immanuel as interim pastor for the past ten months. As a way to say thank you, we wanted a cake made for them to share at the fellowship dinner Sunday night. The best we could come up with as an expression of our gratitude was a picture of the church, as we are all extremely grateful to the both of them and the Lord for allowing us to have them for this time. Our Associate Pastor, Willie Rice (pictured with Bro. Bill and Sherry), shared Isaiah 41:10 which reads, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” While we are sad to see Brother Bill and Sherry go, we are excited to welcome Brother Rick Boyne and his family to Immanuel. We will hold them all up in prayer as they take the next steps in their walks with Jesus.
Thank you Brother Bill & Sherry!!!
In Christ, Bro. Brian
This Sunday night, we will say goodbye and thank you to Bro. Bill Crow and his wife, Sherry for months of service to Immanuel as interim pastor. We will have a reception for the Crows after our regular Fifth Sunday sing-a-long.
Be sure to express your appreciation to Bro. Bill and Sherry this Sunday.
The remodeling work continues on the parsonage, thanks to the hard work of Bob & Betty Rice and Willie & Wanda Rice. All that remains is the new roof, carpet in the master bedroom, linoleum in the kitchen and bathrooms, and finishing the outdoor painting.
The Boynes are looking forward to beginning to move in next week.
Take a look at the Photo Album in the tabs above to see some pictures added today.
Tuesday, Bob, Betty, Willie, the Willises and the Boynes met at the parsonage and painted all day. The inside painting is nearly complete. All that is left is a second coat in one bathroom and the cabinets in both bathrooms. It was a great time as we all worked together to get the job done.
For the past several weeks, Bob & Betty Rice and Assoc Pastor Willie Rice have been working hard to remodel the parsonage. Today, two volunteers from Muskogee New Hope Baptist Church came to help Bob, Betty, Bro. Willie, and Bro. Rick paint the inside of the parsonage.
The Boynes appreciate all who are working so hard to make the parsonage a special place to live.
Sunday, June 24, Immanuel Baptist Church voted to call Rev. Rick Boyne as pastor and Brian Willis as Minister of Music.
Rick and his family have served with the IMB for the past 9 years in Africa and Asia. They will move into the parsonage after the remodeling is complete. Rick is married to Sally and they have two daughters, Audrey and Emily.
Brian is a teacher with the Community Action Project of Tulsa and currently resides in Porter. He is married to Kelly and they have three children, Bo, Autumn, and Preston.
Brian will begin his duties this week and Rick will assume his pastoral duties August 1.
We all look forward to seeing how God will be glorified in the future at Immanuel!
