We've received another update from our new Senior Pastor Noah Kegley! His official installation date has been set for Sunday, October 29 at 4pm and he asks for prayer as he and his family try to secure a closing date for their house and prepare to move.
Pastor Noah also shares a devotion with us on being Rooted (Psalm 1:1-4) during this transitional time.

Flag Day Monument - Please Donate
Immanuel is collecting money in a donation jar in the school office for Batavia's new Flag Day Monument, which will be dedicated on Sunday, October 1, during festivities planned from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Our goal is to collect $300 by September 29th so that we can have a brick with our name and logo included as part of the Flag Day Monument.
On June 14, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Flag Day Proclamation, declaring a national day each year for celebrating the American flag. This day came about largely through the efforts of Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand, a Batavia dentist who worked tirelessly his entire life to teach American citizens of all ages the history, value and importance of our nation’s flag. Dr. Cigrand lobbied several American presidents to declare a day each year to recognize the importance of this symbol of American liberty and freedom. Finally, on June 14, 1916, President Wilson made this day of recognition a reality.
Mayor Schielke, the Fox Valley Patriotic Organization, and the Batavia Flag Day Committee are all so thrilled to finally be able to cut the ribbon for the Flag Day Monument dedicated to our American flag, Flag Day, and Dr. Bernard Cigrand.
