Welcome to Emory Church, On the Square in New Oxford!
Emory Church is working with God in building a caring community that connects, discovers and serves together!
John Wesley is quoted as saying, “The world is my parish”. With Emory Church being right on the Square in New Oxford, we are blessed to have New Oxford as our parking lot. When you visit us please feel free to park anywhere around the square and the town. We do reserve space directly in front of Emory for visitors and those who might need to have closer access to us.
Sunday school is held at 9:00 a.m. for all ages with Worship at 10:00 a.m.
From this Past Sunday

Sunday, December 9, 2018
Our Scripture focus was on Matthew 1:16-24.
We took a look at Love.
Our takeaways were to:
- Read Psalm 143, Isaiah 7 and Matthew 1.
- CONNECT my life to God’s Love.
- DISCOVER living as an expression of Jesus’ Loving-Kindness.
- SERVE so that the Love of Christ is experienced by those near me.
- Pray that I allow the Love of God to be expressed in me.
