The congregation of Immanuel Lutheran Church invites one and all
to an old fashioned outdoor hymn sing on Saturday, September

the shelter building located at northwest corner of the
church property across from Lincoln Community High School.
In case of inclement weather the hymn sing will be moved into
the church.
Glenda Downing, keyboard, and Shirley Klink, guitar and banjo,
will provide accompaniment. Hymns chosen include well known old
favorites, such as “Church in the Wildwood”, “I’ll Fly Away” and

a brief history and description of each hymn. A light supper
will follow the singing. We hope you will be able to join us!

concert at the Lincoln Christian Church Sanctuary on

hunger. Music is where they are gifted and they wanted to
use their gifts to help feed hungry people. Four of the
original performers will be appearing in this concert: Jim
Alllison, Gail King, Tim Searby and Linda Storm. Featured
music will range from the Classics to Contemporary. Treat
your friends who are music lovers to an afternoon of
excellent music and help feed the hungry. A free will

Ninth Annual Service of Remembrance
The wellness ministry of Lincoln Christian Church, 204 N.
McLean St in Lincoln, will host the Ninth Annual Service of
Remembrance on Sunday, November 4, 2012, at 3:00
p.m. in the church sanctuary.
The purpose in providing this yearly gathering is
threefold: to celebrate God’s gift of life and to worship
Him for it; to honor the lives of loved ones who have died,
particularly during the past year; and to provide a
corporate opportunity for loved ones to process, express and
heal from their grief.
A special part of the service will be a time when each
person who has died will be named individually and a candle
will be lit in his or her memory and honor. Everyone is
invited to attend and participate in this service of memory
and honor for loved ones.
We invite those who have lost loves ones during the past
year to submit a photo of your loved one by
October 22 in order to be included in the pictures
displayed in a power point presentation during the service.
You can bring or mail the photo to the Lincoln Christian
Church office, where it will be scanned and returned to
you. Or, if you have a digital photo, you can send it
directly, via email, to
remember@lincolnchristianchurch.org.
The wellness ministry team will host a time of fellowship
following the service.
