Juneteenth Celebration

Juneteenth Celebration in Irmo - June 19, 2025, from 6 - 9 p.m. at Moore Park (7473 Church St., Irmo)

Celebrate Irmo's culture and history at the 5th annual event presented by the African American Historical Society of Irmo! Honor the past and inspire the future with praise dance, live music, art, and food.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is a national holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It honors the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas, the last Confederate state to abolish slavery. Juneteenth is a day of immense cultural significance for African Americans. It's a time to remember the struggles and resilience of their ancestors and celebrate their hard-won freedom. This occasion is a celebration for all Americans to recognize the enduring spirit and triumphs of a community.

Emmaus is a proud sponsor of the event and we encourage everyone to attend!

Families with Young Children

Calling all families with little ones—from newborns to preschoolers! We warmly invite you to join us this summer for a few joyful evenings of fellowship, laughter, and community at Emmaus Church. Whether you’re new to our church or have been with us for years, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other parents who are walking through the same beautiful (and sometimes chaotic!) season of life.

By registering, you’ll help us prepare everything just right.

Plant Workshop

Join us for a hands-on Kokedama Workshop led by Jack Apple! In this workshop, you’ll learn the Japanese art of kokedama- a unique way of displaying plants by wrapping their roots in a ball of soil, encasing it in moss, and securing it with twine. These elegant, low-maintenance arrangements can be hung or placed in a dish, making them a stunning natural addition to any space. It’s a peaceful, creative, and rewarding experience- no green thumb required. Spots are limited- so sign up today! The cost per person is $28.

Sharing God's Love

This service opportunity on May 31st from 9am-12pm is a family-friendly outreach event for Emmaus Kids, Emmaus Students, and their families.

Please register so we know how to best prepare.

Practicing the Way

The concept of being an apprentice of Jesus focuses on learning to live in the ways that Jesus lived: His teachings, His practices, and the rhythms of His life. This idea has gained traction in many churches and communities that emphasize living out faith practically, not just theoretically. Join us for an 8 week class on Wednesday evenings as we learn more about spiritual formation and what it can look like in our lives. (We will NOT meet 3/26 or 4/23)

Nehemiah Action

Nehemiah Action

One of the ways we "do" the work of justice is by partnering with MORE Justice, where member congregations work together to empower marginalized people and act powerfully to address serious community wide problems through direct action. We gather for events to listen, research, and offer solutions while holding elected officials accountable. If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, consider joining us for the annual Nehemiah Action! Reach out to Dylan with any questions.
