September 2010 Series - What Should I Do With My Life?


“It’s somewhat terrifying,” writes a 25-year-old named Jennifer, “to think about all the things I’m supposed to be doing in order to ‘get somewhere’ successful: ‘follow your passions, live your dreams, take risks, network with the right people, find mentors, be financially responsible, volunteer, work, think about or go to grad school, fall in love and maintain personal well-being, mental health and nutrition?’ When is there time to just be and enjoy?”

From 20 Something Manifesto, an anthology edited by Christine Hassler
(quoted in New York Times Magazine, August 22, 2010)

This series is designed for general appeal—for believers as well as those who have had little church or faith experience. Come and bring a friend.

Emmanuel Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America. We believe in the historic Christian faith as summarized is the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. We call ourselves "Emmanuel" (God with us) because we believe that Jesus' substitutionary death and poured out Spirit have brought God near. God's nearness brings life to all that we do – to our worship, our friendships, our families, our thought life, our studies, and our work. We embrace Emmanuel's love for the city and seek to share his beauty, truth, healing and goodness with the communities where we live and work, particularly the communities of Morningside Heights.
