The emphasis for Co-op meetings, which has been in existence for over 100 years, is Christian women’s fellowship in support of Immanuel. All women of Immanuel are considered members of the Co-operative Circle! They may be called upon to co-operate with us on the Rummage Sale, Oktoberfest, Ice Cream Social, Bake Sales, Funeral Dinners, or Receptions.
