Immanuel Service Time Changes | Pastor Kevin Ader is leading worship services at both Immanuel and St. John. Please see temporary service times listed below. This temporary schedule provides four opportunities to worship and we encourage you to attend the service that fits your schedule best at either church. Here is the schedule of service times and locations:

Wednesday 6:00 pm @ Immanuel

Saturday 4:00pm @ St. John

Sunday 8:45am @ St. John

Sunday 10:45 am @ Immanuel (in person and live streamed)

Please keep Immanuel and St. John in your prayers as we seek God’s guidance to provide for our pastoral needs today and in the future.

Please note: Discipleship Hour starts at 9:30am.

Pastor Ader in the Office | Pastor Ader will be in the Immanuel office on Wednesdays after 1:00pm. We welcome anyone who would like to stop in and talk with Pastor to stop by on Wednesday’s. If you would like to call and set up a time to meet with him, please call the church office.

Discipleship Hour | This summer we will shift gears a little bit when it comes to our Discipleship hour. Our adult study will continue to meet at 9:30 on Sunday mornings, and we will be looking at wisdom literature of the Old Testament.

Home Bible School | Home Bible School will also shift a little for the summer, and rather than having lessons and videos every single week, families can sign up for an activity kit with 6-8 lessons to use throughout the summer. Any family is welcome to register for a summer kit, even if you have not been participating previously. Please contact Tara for more information at tdarling@immanuelrapids.com.

Aspirus April Blood Drives | The final blood drive will be Monday, April 26 ~ 2 pm to 7 pm. Appointments are encouraged to promote social distancing and located at the former East Jr High Music Rm 311 on Lincoln Street, Wis. Rapids.

Camp Luther Women’s Retreat | October 1-3, 2021 - WOMEN, take care of yourself for a change! We understand that life is chaotic.

Be filled with God's Word and return home refreshed, confident in the woman God made you to be. Amy Meyer will lead a Bible study created just for us: Connecting with Your Creator in His Creation.
