125th Anniversary

Immanuel celebrates 125 years in 2026! Be sure to check out the display case in the social hall. It changes every month. September's display is by the Board of Expanding Ministries. October features Immanuel's Quilters.

While you're in the social hall, take a closer look at the sheep pasture. Is your sheep part of the flock? It's not too late! Sheep and sharpies are in the social hall. All you need is your name and the date you were baptized. Can't find the date? If you're certain you are baptized, put up a sheep anyway! If you're not certain, talk to Pastor Daniel.

On All Saints Day (November 1) we will have a special recognition of all Immanuel members who passed to the Church Triumphant in the last 25 years.

Commemorative t-shirts are available to order! Click here for an order form. If you'd like to order shirts, print the form and return it to the church office with payment (check payable to Immanuel Lutheran Church with "125th Anniversary Clothing" on the member line, or exact cash). Last day to order is October 25, 2026.

All Saints Remembrance Table

If you have lost a loved one in the past year, you are invited to bring a photo to display in the narthex on the All Saints' Remembrance Table. There will be a table in the narthex for you to place a photo of your loved ones, and index cards and markers to let us know who is in the photo and how they're related to Immanuel (ex. Mary Smith, John Smith's mother). Photos can be brought in during the last week of October, or bring them with you on All Saints Day (November 1).

Book Club Begins November 21

The Book Club's first meeting has been delayed. The first meeting is now scheduled for 6pm on Saturday, November 21. See Pastor Daniel for more details, or just show up to learn more!

"Raising the Roof" Capital Campaign

Immanuel's "Raising the Roof" capital campaign continues through July 2027. We thank the Lord that with the campaign gifts received we have been able to pay off the total cost of the roof project! We encourage you to continue to give, fulfilling your commitments. Any funds received will be deposited in Immanuel's Building Fund for helping support future building upgrade and maintenance projects. You can continue to use the "Raising the Roof" giving envelopes for your contributions, placing them in the offering plate during worship or mailing them to the church office. Please remember that "Raising the Roof" funds are kept in a separate account from your regular offerings, so do not combine your regular and "Raising the Roof" offerings in one check. For further information, please contact the church office.
