SERVICE SCHEDULE AT EMMANUEL:
8:30 a.m.
The center and core of the life of Emmanuel Lutheran Church is found in the Divine Service of the Church. It is here where our Triune God serves us with His Means of Grace ... the Gospel in Word and Sacraments. It is there He spiritually feeds us, giving us forgiveness, strength, and hope to carry out our Christian vocations during the rest of the week.
Sunday morning Divine Service is a festive service springing from the joy of Easter. Sunday was the day that our Lord rose in victory over the grave. Emmanuel Lutheran Church embraces the historic liturgy of the church, because we recognize that the Christian grows strongest in the one true faith as he or she hears, week in and week out, the story of man's salvation from sin, death, and Satan's grasp ... and that story is best conveyed in the timeless form and content of the historic Divine Service. Each Sunday, Emmanuel Lutheran follows one of the five Divine Service orders found in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod hymnal, Lutheran Service Book, and also utilizes the propers (specially assigned Scripture readings and prayers) that are connected with that hymnal. Because Christians draw strength from the forgiveness of Christ alone, we celebrate the Lord's Supper every Sunday.
6:30 p.m.
During the seasons of Advent and Lent, special Midweek Services of Evening Prayer are offered in the church on Wednesday evenings. The sermons preached at these services are completely different than the Sunday morning sermons, as they focus the hearer upon the penitential yet hopeful themes of these special seasons of the church year. Organ music, congregational hymns, and occasional choral anthems are included in these services.
8:30 a.m.
Prayer is a central part of the life of our congregation. Emmanuel offers a spoken daily Morning Prayer service called Matins. This service is filled with a Psalm, a Bible story, one sung hymn, a short mediation, and prayers for the church, the world, and ourselves. It typically lasts 15 minutes and is attended by 2-8 people. It is a quick and uplifting way to begin your day.
