Message from the Vicar...

Greetings Siblings in Christ,

As we begin a new church year, we look with hope and preparation to a year of mission and ministry. Our hope is in the Lord, and our preparations center around loving Christ in our neighbors.

Recently Covid cases have been surging again, and the Immanuel Lutheran Church Council has been very vigilant in monitoring the situation. On Monday, November 23rd, Bishop Sue Briner and the Southwestern Texas Synod council notified all pastoral leaders that they were recommending we return to online worship out of love of neighbor and commitment to keep our parishioners and community safe and healthy. The Immanuel Church Council unanimously voted to return to online worship for ten weeks and will evaluate our projected return date of February 7th as it draws near.

What does this mean?

We will use Facebook live to broadcast our regular Sunday morning and Wednesday evening 6PM worship services in Advent. We will also continue to use our new radio station 89.5 FM (available in the church parking lot) for those who prefer radio to Facebook. Our Christmas Eve service will be handled in the same manner with a 6PM Facebook Live and radio broadcast.

It is our prayer that these measures will keep us safe and healthy in this season of Advent and beyond. Please reach out to myself or Karen if you have any questions about worship logistics. Please continue to remain vigilant with precautions so we can gather again in person when it is possible.

God be with you till we meet again,

Vicar Katie
