Blog Overview and Links
Welcome to EmmDevs. This is a blog run by Theo Groeneveld, a Presbyterian Minister, serving at Emmanuel Presbyterian in Pretoria, South Africa.
Back in Jan 2002 Theo felt the need to put daily devotions into the inboxes of congregants for the week (weak) days. He did this Tue-Fri during government school terms, taking a break on Mondays and school hols. Years later these devotions are still running and people find them helpful.
They're called "EmmDevs" for "Emmanuel Devotions" and are meant to be a reminder that Jesus is "God-with-us" (Emmanuel) even on our weak days.
When the broader denomination, the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa, chose October to be the "Month of Mission", the Mission and Discipleship committee started publishing devotions for that month and so EmmDev readers get to hear a variety of other voices during that month.
