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. Proceeds from these activities may support some missions, but mainly go to projects needs at Immanuel.
