LIVE TO SERVE!

Vets 4 Veterans' Families: Over 300 Veterans, First Responders, and their families dodged the raindrops last Saturday to enjoy their brother/sisterhood, and to learn more about health and wellness specifically related to their lives. 50+ volunteers were honored to celebrate and assist, and are circling the 2022 date already for this very special event.

"This was tremendous. I learned a lot of things and got to make new contacts."

"It was an amazing event!"

"WELL DONE -- it was a wonderful event!"

Feed My Starving Children: Two sessions at FMSC brought together 55 Immanuel volunteers to create meals for those experiencing hunger. Watch for future dates to be a part of FMSC.

A Very Special THANK YOU!

A very special THANK YOU to Carol Ernst and Dennis Wrucke for decades of service as ushers at Immanuel. Their smiling faces and warm greetings blessed generations at the historic and current campuses. Join us in extending appreciation when you see them at worship in the weeks to come.

Still available --FREE Piano!

FREE Wurlitzer piano -- come and get it from the Music Room. It is on wheels and has a bench. The housing needs a little TLC (scratch remover) -- the soundboard resonates wonderfully (click on video).

Call the office 815.459.1441 to say you are on your way with your own truck and moving crew to take it home! (or call Piano Trends -- very reasonable movers!)
