Everything you may wish to know before you arrive.
When you arrive, an usher will greet you at the door and hand you a bulletin. The bulletin contains everything you need to follow order of service, and the hymns for the day.
Divine Service — Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
Midweek service — Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
The Sunday service runs approximately seventy minutes. If you are bringing children, the full service is for the whole family.
Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the church building. Additional parking is available along the drive.
The service will feel ordered and unhurried. We use a historic liturgical form, the same basic structure that Lutheran congregations have used for centuries. There will be singing, Scripture readings, a sermon, and the Lord’s Supper. For a fuller description, see our worship.
Children are welcome in the service. A crying or restless child is not a disruption. It is the sound of the next generation in the house of God. If you need to step out briefly, there is a narthex (entryway) where you can still hear the service.
We practice close communion at Immanuel. If you are a member of this congregation or a congregation in fellowship with the lcms, you are welcome at the table. If you are visiting from outside our fellowship and would like to speak with the pastor about communing, please introduce yourself before the service. Visitors who are not communing are warmly invited to come forward for a spoken blessing.
Stay after the service and introduce yourself to the pastor, or to anyone around you.
