Special Seasonal Services

Special Seasonal Services

While our Sunday morning Divine Service is the steady rhythm of our life together, the Church Year invites us into special seasons of deep reflection, repentance, and intense joy. Immanuel Lutheran Church observes these historic seasons with mid-week services and festival celebrations that keep our eyes fixed entirely on Jesus Christ.

Advent & Christmas

The Church Year begins with Advent, a season of quiet preparation for the coming of our King, culminating in the joyful celebration of our Savior's birth.

Advent Mid-Week Services: Wednesdays at 10:45 a.m. (followed by a soup luncheon in the Parish Center) and 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Services: December 24 at 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.

Christmas Day Festival Service: December 25 at 9:00 a.m.

Lent & Easter

Lent is a forty-day journey of reflection walking with Christ toward the cross, followed by Holy Week and the absolute victory of His resurrection.

Ash Wednesday & Lenten Mid-Week Services: Wednesdays at 10:45 a.m. (followed by a soup luncheon in the Parish Center) and 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.

Holy Week Services: Special 7:00 p.m. services are held on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday as we follow our Lord through His passion.

The Resurrection of Our Lord (Easter): Celebrated with a Festival Divine Service on Easter Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

Looking for Specific Dates and Times?

Full, detailed schedules for all seasonal services - including Thanksgiving, Reformation, and specific Holy Week events - are published dynamically as each season approaches. You can find the most up-to-date details finalized on our website calendar, inside our weekly church bulletins and newsletters, and across our official social media channels.
