Martin Luther posted his “Ninety-Five Theses” in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517 and the resulting debate about Christian teaching and practice led to changes that have shaped the course of Western Christianity for almost 500 years.
Please join us in wearing red on Sunday, Oct. 30 during our services as we celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation.

NO RESERVATIONS!
Annual Stewardship Appeal
Our Annual Stewardship Appeal, “No Reservations!” is taking place and we are celebrating and giving thanks for the “blessings in abundance” that we share at Immanuel. We’re looking back over this past year and remembering all the ways in which God has blessed our lives with no reservations, and all the ways we, as a congregation, have worked together to bless the lives of others with no reservations. And, we’re spending some time talking and praying together about the ways we hope to continue “sharing abundantly in every good work” in the coming year.
This Wordle that our congregation created is a sort of “visual account” of the work that your annual giving to our church supports. Everything that happens in and through our congregation is possible because of your generous and faithful giving. Please hang this visual narrative on your fridge. Pray over it, talk with you partner and kids, if you have them, about what your church means to you. And, on Commitment Sunday, Nov.13, please join us in giving with no reservations to the work God has entrusted our community of faith to accomplish in our corner of God’s kingdom.
GIVING THANKS BRUNCH
