Our Worship Service is...

A unique blend grounded in the Lutheran tradition but taking inspiration from other practices, nations and worship styles.

Sound Engineering

We are trying to expand our sound crew  -  record the service on Sunday mornings. If anyone from Emmanuel is interested in learning how to work the sound equipment, please contact Rich Lundin at 815-885-9188. Professionals tell us that women have an exceptionally good ear for sound, so we'd also like to hear from some Emmanuel Women!
