Immanuel is honored to be working with Mayor Jim Strickland of the City of Memphis and the Memphis Office of Youth Services by participating in the Just One Youth (JOY) Program this summer, whereby Memphis businesses and churches are challenged to each employ and work closely with a youth during June 5 through July 17. Jordan Denton, who will be a senior at Ridgeway High School this year, will be working in facilities and information technology at Immanuel Lutheran Church during this six-week period. Please join us in welcoming Jordan to Immanuel!

Immanuel worked with Neighborhood Christian Centers, one of our ministry partners, to identify eligible youth who met the criteria established by the City of Memphis and Immanuel for participation in the JOY Program.
