We are a welcoming community, celebrating and sharing the good news of Jesus
through worship, prayer, learning, and service.

SERVICE TIMES

Regular schedule:
SUNDAYS
8:00 am Holy Eucharist,
in the Chapel

10:30 am Holy Eucharist, Rite II,
in the Church

Come worship in person at Immanuel!

The 10:30 am service live stream will be suspended, beginning Sunday, October 2, 2022.Despite the technical challenges and now, lack of volunteers, we have faithfully provided this ministry for the last 30 months. Our in-person services resumed 1 year ago, and as attendance has slowly increased, our online viewers have decreased.

Thank you to all who have joined us on Facebook from home. We’ve missed seeing you, and welcome you back to gather with us each Sunday around the Lord’s Table. For those of you who are unable to attend in person, the newly formed Liturgy Ministry will be exploring ways to serve you and keep you connected to your parish family.

We send bulletins electronically on a weekly basis.
