Worship Notes at Immanuel |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Worship Services at Immanuel are uplifting events where the participation of the entire family is encouraged. Please note below a list of things that encourage a full worship experience for all in attendance. |

|
Receiving Communion |
|||||||||||||||||
|
All baptized Christians are welcome to come to our Lord’s Table for Holy Communion, the sacrament in which we receive Christ’s body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. We commune using the scriptural elements of bread and wine. Grape juice and gluten-free bread are provided as alternatives for those who request either from the Assisting Minister. Wine and grape juice are administered in individual cups. Children who have not received their First Communion are invited to come forward and receive a blessing. Communicants are requested to come down the center aisle to receive as directed by the ushers and return by the side aisles. |

Welcoming of Children |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Children are especially welcome in our worship. We have a separate bulletin just for them and also “Little Lutheran Bags” filled with soft and quiet playthings. Please request one from the ushers. If you prefer, childcare is available for children up to age 3 in the nursery during worship services. Parents will be issued pagers in case the nursery workers need to contact them. |

First Time Visitors |

|
Our Evangelism Team has assembled gift bags for visitors to our church services. Bright orange bags are available near the entrance to the church. They contain information on Immanuel and some small gift items. If you are a visitor, be sure to get one before you leave. |
