During this service, Emma Hubble was commissioned and installed as Immanuel’s Director of Christian Education. Emma’s dad, Pastor Scott Giger, preached for this service on the Gospel reading from Luke 14 and the radical nature of how Jesus describes what it means to follow Him. There is definitely a cost that comes with following Jesus and is not easy! But here we are—Emma and the rest of us are hearing and heeding Jesus’ call to come and be His disciples!
