Thank you to all who ordered.  The proceeds from this sale will go towards our 2020 mission trips.

New Member's Class: will begin Sunday, February 2, following the worship service in the Choir Room (Rm # 12). If you are new to Immanuel or have attended for a while but have not become a member, come and learn more about what excites us, how we operate, and how you fit into the big picture! Pastor Tom and the elders will be leading for 4 weeks. Please let Pastor Tom or Dave S know if you are interested or have any questions.

Flower Chart: Just a reminder that the Flower Chart is located on the bulletin board in the FLC.  Please take a moment to look this over and then sign up for a date that is special to you to bring flowers. This is a wonderful way to brighten up our sanctuary on Sunday mornings and to recognize your loved ones for either birthdays, anniversaries, or just because.  Thank you for taking the time to do this, we still have lots of dates available.
