Serving our Congregation

Prayer Chain

Prayer transcends religions, denominations, and belief systems of all kinds. It’s used in a multitude of ways: to seek comfort, make a request, ask for guidance, heal and restore, express sorrow, celebrate joy or give thanks. Praying as a group also fulfills our basic human needs: to connect, both with God and with one another. Immanuel has both a phone and an email prayer chain to lift up the prayers of those in need. If you would like to serve in this vital ministry at Immanuel, please contact the church office.

Worship Volunteers

For Lutherans, worship stands at the center of our faith life. We gather. We encounter God’s word. We share a meal at the Lord’s table. And we are sent into the world. BUT, worship is not really about what we do. Worship is our response to what God has done and is doing.

Worship volunteers - ushers, greeters, readers, acolytes, communion assistants, children's sermons, and assisting ministers - are vital to our worship services. If you would like to serve, please contact the church office.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild is a volunteer group of members whose ministry is to care for the altar, vestments, vessels, and altar linens. They also prepare the sanctuary for worship, and clean up afterwards. Altar Guild supervises the decoration of the sanctuary for Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. If you would like to serve on Altar Guild, Please contact the church office.
