Bring a candle, any candle, to our New Year’s Eve service. It’s our tradition to set these candles on the altar and light them. This symbolizes Christ’s promise to be with us, and our response to shine His light into the New Year.

Note that there will be NO Saturday 5:30PM Service and NO Sunday School this weekend, but there will be Sunday MORNING services.

Check out our new contemporary service! Worship leader, Jim O’Connell, joins our staff on January 9th and will lead us in re-defining contemporary worship here at Immanuel. Similar to many of the leading contemporary churches; the praise, prayer, and worship at the newly configured 10:45 service will be led by Jim, with Pastor Eric or Chris joining in to give the message and sacraments. Crafts will be distributed before the sermon to keep children entertained while parents listen; the kids will then be encouraged to show their creations when the sermon is done. The youth praise band will join the 10:45 service. We will continue to have a 10:30 service in the sanctuary, but it will now be in the same traditional format as the 8:00 service.
We'll meet together and take the train there and back. Contact Erica Ciro at eciro65@gmail.com with questions or to join the group. Details: nidlcms.org/life-task-force
