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!

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.

Not Buckets
Sunday, November 17, 2019
Scripture: Acts: 1:1-12
Sermon: Not Buckets
Don't settle for being a bucket when you are promised a mighty river of living water that springs forth from the heart. May you be filled with the love and grace of God so that you can pour yourself out for others as Jesus Christ did for the Kingdom of God.
Our takeaways were to:
- Read Week 47 of Coast to Coast readings.
- CONNECT with the blessings of God.
- DISCOVER why you are not a bucket.
- SERVE by pouring yourself out for others.
- Pray for the volunteers who will transport our shoebox gifts and the children who will receive them.
“God put a million doors in the world for His love to walk through;
one of those doors is you.”
-- From “Every Act of Love” by Jason Gray

Our theme verse is Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:30-31 (NIV)

Please remember those that are home bound in prayer
