Thanksgiving Worship

Join us on Thanksgiving at 9:00 am  as we give thanks to God for all of His blessings to us. The service will include a canned food collection and paper products for the St. Peter Immanuel Food Pantry.

Advent Worship

In addition to our regular services we have special Advent Worship on Thursday evenings at 7 pm in December. This year’s Advent and Christmas Theme is “The Songs of Christmas.” We all enjoy Christmas carols. The Gospel of Luke records several songs that were sung around our Savior’s birth by Mary, Zechariah, Simeon, and the angels. This year we will look at these songs of Christmas, which have been sung for over 2,000 years.

 On December 5 we will look at Mary’s Song “The Magnificat.” She burst into song in praise of God when she visited her relative Elizabeth. (The Magnificat is sung at Vespers.)

 On December 12 we will look at Zecharia’s song “The Benedictus” when he burst into praise of God at the birth of his son John the Baptist. (The Benedictus is sung at Matins.) [Pastor Mark Wangerin will be the preacher.]

 On December 19 we will look at Simeon’s song, “The Nunc Dimittis.” He praised God when he took the Christ child in his arms. (The Nunc Dimittis is sung after Communion.)

Christmas Worship 

Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship is at 5:30 pm. We will look at the angel’s song, the “Gloria in Excelsis” when they praised God at the birth of our Savior

 Christmas Day Worship is at 9 am and includes Holy Commuion.

 New Year's Eve Worship is at 7 pm and includes Holy Communion.
