Every church has its own style of worship. Â We think you will enjoy the services at Immanuel, but as in any church, you should expect it to take a couple Sundays to become accustomed to our way of praising God together.
Services focus on readings from the Bible. Â Music and singing are an important part of our church services. Â Listen to the singing and before long, you'll be singing, too. Â Loud or soft, in monotone or harmony, all our praises are music to God because it is Biblical and Christ centered. Â The services include the following parts:
   Invocation:
We call on the name of our Savior God as we praise Him.
   Admiting Sin - Receiving Forgiveness:
We acknowledge that we haven't been or done what God asks. Â We are assured ot forgiveness in Jesus.
   Bible Readings:
Selections from God's Old Testament prophets, Jesus' apostles and from Jesus Himself in the Gospels.
   Children's Message and Song:
When children are present in worship a children's message will be presented that is based on one of the lessons using an object. Â A children's song will help reinforce it.
   Sermon:
Our pastor offers instruction and encouragement in a Bible-based sermon. Â Expect God's guidance and His grace for dealing with problems.
   Response to the Word:
We respond with a confession of belief, offerings and prayers for the things He has promised to us and for strength to do what He has asked.
   Offering:
The Bible teaches that our offerings to God should reflect our belief that all we have is His gift to us. Â It teaches us that with our offering, we worship and honor God. Â A child may bring the quarters and dimes his parents give him. Â
   Parting Blessing:
We hear one last assurance of God's care.
