Wednesdays in Advent — Worship together at a “Peace Came to Earth” Advent Service!
- Advent Worship Service at 12:00 noon & 7:00 pm (In-Person and streamed LIVE)
- Use our “Peace Came to Earth” Advent Devotions!
Join us each Wednesday until Christmas for a special weekly Advent Worship Service. Advent is a four-week season of preparation and anticipation as we get ready for Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, our Coming King and Savior!
Midweek Worship Services at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm are held after Thanksgiving each Wednesday evening between December 6 and December 20. Enjoy a thoughtful, grace-filled worship service together with those gathered. Free family meals will be served before each service too. Come as you are — straight from work or school. Relax, pray, eat, laugh and share with friends and family. Come, feed your body and soul at Immanuel Lutheran Church during Advent. Prepare your heart for the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus!
Peace Came to Earth Sermon Series
Seeking peace by our own efforts is an endless pursuit, but God instructs us with a peace that surpasses understanding. We receive His peace in five separate ways that meet our needs, perhaps before we even know them. Using a five-point Christmas star as a metaphor, see the five ways Jesus brings peace from God as the Prince of Peace.
Join us at Immanuel as Pastor Chris Ramstad helps us to explore these themes each week together. May the promise of Christ’s coming fill you with hope and joy during Advent and Christmas!
Peace came to earth at last that chosen night

When angels clove the sky with song and light
And God embodied love and sheathed His might—
Who could but gasp: Immanuel!
Who could but sing: Immanuel!
Midweek 1 — December 6 — “Look Up! The Star of Peace Draws Near”
While we often seek peace through more possessions, God’s great gift has already come. God stops us as a wise Father and says, “Look up and see a lasting star and treasure, the gift of My Son.” — Matthew 2:1-2, 9-10
Midweek 2 – December 13 — “Peace to All, Near and Far” — Martin Luther School Christmas Service
We often seek peace through distance, putting our worries of the past far away, but God gives us peace here and now through the blood of His Son, who died on the cross. — Ephesians 2:12-18
Midweek 3 — December 20 — “Our Peace Rests on Him Alone”
We often seek peace through the control we might have over others, but God gives us true peace with the Savior, who shines in majesty and stands in the middle of our conflicts. — Isaiah 9:6
Christmas Eve – Sunday, December 24 — ONE morning service at 10am — TWO evening Candlelight Services at 5:00 & 7:00pm
Christmas Day – December 25 at 10am — “The Diamond Found in the Manger”
Peace is not a misplaced piece from a toy lost in the wrapping and confusion of Christmas. God’s peace is the diamond of His Son securely set in the manger. — Luke 2:8-20
