Immanuel Lutheran Church

I’m New

When to Arrive

If it’s your first visit to Immanuel Lutheran, it’s best to arrive about 10 minutes early.  There is plenty of parking at the church.

What to Wear

We dress nicely but casually.

What to Expect

You may sit anywhere in the sanctuary where a seat is open.  Each worship service lasts for approximately one hour.  The service is printed in a bulletin (worship folder) you’ll receive as you walk in after being greeted by an usher.  The service begins with a brief welcome, music, a prayer and readings from the Bible.  It continues with a message from the Bible designed to help us understand God, who we are, and the world in which we live.  Communion is celebrated every Sunday but the 5th Sunday.

What About My Kids?

At Immanuel, families are encouraged to worship together for the entire service.  If needed, a cry room is available. Children’s activity pages are available from an usher. Children are invited to the front of the sanctuary for a brief children’s message right before the sermon. Sunday school meets each Sunday during the school year at 10:30 am.  

What About Communion?

The Bible teaches that in the Lord’s Supper we receive Jesus’ true body and blood (in a miraculous way), together with the bread and wine, for the forgiveness of our sins and the strengthening of our faith.  We desire that those who receive this sacrament understand what they are receiving and why they need it.  If you are new to Immanuel, please speak with Pastor Wehling before receiving the Lord’s Supper.

Is it just Sundays?

Absolutely not! We desire to live out our faith every day.  Each summer, we host a Vacation Bible school. Other Bible studies and activities are listed in the bulletin.  There are devotional materials available in the narthex to help direct you in God’s Word and offer a short prayer.  With God’s help, we strive to live out our faith at home, at work, and at church.
