As I write this blog update, I do so from my new little desk at the office of Immanuel's House. It is great to be working alongside Carmen again in an office setting, we're a crazy and energetic pair when we get together. I'll be assisting Carmen in helping folks gather the appropriate documents for a WV ID. We have continually been surprised on how many people don't have WV IDs...it is truly a need in this area.
We've been so grateful to Men of Valor and Vision for letting us have an office space in their facility as we raise funds to purchase another building. At this time we are located at 206 East King St., Martinsburg, WV.
Two Mondays ago we also started Immanuel's Table, which is an ecumenical worship service and community meal that we host every Monday night. The Knights of Columbus have so graciously given us their hall to use at 108 West Stephens St., Martinsburg. God is so cool! Our Immanuel's Table team also rocks...they didn't miss a beat when we moved into this new space. They had a new kitchen that they had to learn to manuever in...and set the tables and put them back each Monday. Mark, our techie, also had to figure out his new little spot to manage the sound system and powerpoint. But the whole team did it with such joy and love, I was so moved to tears. 
Out team is excited about this new year and all that God has called us to! I thank you for your prayers and involvement in this ministry. May we continue to journey together and see God with and working through us.
Blessings and joy,
Mary Gunderson King

Great blog, Mary! Go Immanuel's House! I'm so proud of all of the Immanuel's Table Team. I had nary a doubt that you folk would be energetically creative in making a new space hum and sing. Carpe Diem!
