There are around 150,000 people (!) who live in the Lake Gaston area — that's almost nine times the population of Emporia/Greensville County. The next closest Anglican (ACNA) congregation is in the Raleigh/Durham area. It behooves us to reach out to make new disciples around Lake Gaston and to minister to the many Anglicans who have retired to the lake from Raleigh/Durham, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia.

While school is virtual, Immanuel Anglican Church is continuing food distribution each week at Coles Elementary. Thanks to generous donations over 1,500 bags of weekend meals have been distributed since March.
