Oct 31 – Organ Dedication and Recital

Sunday, October 31, 2021 was a joyous day of celebrating the gift of God in music as we rededicated our organ to the glory of God with a recital featuring Mr. Rodney Riese, the son of former Immanuel pastor, Rev. Rodney Riese. The service was recorded and linked below for your viewing a listening pleasure. The video sound is good, but like any instrument, to hear it in person is a richer, fuller experience.

May God continue to raise up faithful musicians and organists to glorify His name and edify our worship for many years to come! Soli Deo Gloria!

Oct 31 – Reformation Sunday

The Divine Service for Reformation Sunday (October 31, 2021). We also observe the rite of Confirmation at the late service for two youth catechumens. We give thanks to God for providing Martin Luther and for giving him the strength and courage to stand firm in the true faith that set him free. Freed to stand firm and strong in Christ, Luther did just that. In doing so, he showed God’s love to thousands of people. We are also a people blessed by his service. May we also humbly do God’s work in whatever way we can and be faithful to God who has saved us.

October 25 – Reformation Sunday

The service of the Word and Prayer for Reformation Sunday (October 25, 2020). We will never understand the grace of God unless we get just how sin messes with our hearts and lives. We can end in despair or in prideful self-righteousness unless we are guided to a better understanding of who God is. Jesus comes to forgive and tells us to abide in His Word that we would know real truth that sets us free of both despair and pride. May the blessings of the Reformation’s emphasis on the power of the Gospel to save give you cause to rejoice in your salvation!
