THE MAIN THING

Independence Weekend Outdoor Service (One Service)

Please plan to join your family in faith at Immanuel for a combined, outdoor worship service next Sunday, July 3 at 9:30 a.m.  Whether you regularly worship in the Heritage (Saturday or Sunday), Bridge, Horizon, or North services, we’re all going to be gathering at the main campus Sunday morning as a united congregation to receive God’s gifts of Word and Sacrament.  Note that we will not have worship on Saturday evening or at North this weekend.

Like last year’s Independence Day weekend worship, we will be on the parking lot and lawn, so please bring your own chairs and/or blankets.  However, this year we’ll have the stage on the west parking lot – you’ll be able to enter and park from both of the regular entrances, and there should be plenty of shade.

Following the service, we’ll be having a hot dog cookout (with sno-cones!) to give us more time for informal fellowship.

We pray that our Lord grants favorable weather on July 3 as He connects us to Himself and to each other!

Swinging for the Students Golf Outing

Tee time will be at 1:30pm. There will be special events, prizes, and awards. There will also be a great buffet lunch and dinner. 

Last year's winning team is already registered and will be defending its title. Is your team ready to take over the top spot?  Will someone, once again, win the $10,000 Hole-in-One Contest? Or maybe you plan on winning the Longest Drive, Longest Putt or Closest to the Pin contest?
