Are you looking for a casual, friendly worship experience? Please join us at Immanuel for a Contemporary Praise Worship service.

The service begins at 6:00 pm each Saturday in the Nave. The order of the service is very similar to our Sunday service and is as follows:
Welcome
Announcements
Call to Worship
Invocation
Confession and Forgiveness
Sharing of the Peace
Opening Hymn
Prayer of the Day

after the service in the Gathering Area.

The service has a Praise Leader who orchestrates the service. The Pastor does the Children's Talk, Gospel Reading, Meditation and Communion.

The Saturday service is held in a more casual setting and the music is presented in different ways. The hymns used are from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship, the new red one. We also use music from other sources, especially songs written by our own Geoff Williams. You'll hear familiar hymns that are jazzed up, camp songs from your youth and contemporary Christian Songs.

Do you sing? Play a musical instrument? Share your talent with others. Call the church at 517-782-6081 for more information.

Immanuel has two different type of worship servives throughout the year. From Labor Day to Memorial Day on Sunday mornings we offer two Traditional services, one at 8:30 and the other at 11:00. During the summer, we have one Traditional service on Sunday morning at 9:30. Nursery is available, for children ages 5 and under. Saturday evenings, we offer a Praise worship Service at 6:00. The nursery is not available during the evening service.

The Praise Team takes hymn and religious song requests. If you would like to hear The Praise Team play your favorite hymn, please email with your request. Please place Praise Service Hymn Request as the Subject.
In May 2002, Immanuel members were asked what their favorite hymns were. Click here for the list of Immanuel's favorite hymns.
