IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH
125-year Anniversary
1409
Pulaski St., Lincoln
Free Organ Concert
April 21, 2017 at 7:00 pm.
In 1892, our founding fathers chartered the new Lutheran church in
Lincoln, Illinois. On July 3, 1892 the constitution for Immanuel
Lutheran Church was signed and adopted, and soon grew to 150
members. Their first church, built at the corner of Pekin Street and
Logan Street remained for about the next 60 years. As the
congregation continued to grow, the original building did not meet
the needs of the congregation. With a new minister and over 13,000
volunteer hours of labor, Immanuel Lutheran members built a new
church at 1409 Pulaski Street. This building was dedicated on June
25, 1961.
Immanuel means “God with us” and this is certainly true of our past
125 years. We are blessed to serve as an ELCA congregation under our
mission statement of “Living, Caring, and Sharing the Good News of
Jesus”. As part of the anniversary celebration, Immanuel Lutheran
Church will be hosting a free organ concert, by Springfield
musician, Mark Gifford, on April 21, 2017 at 7:00 pm. The church is
wheelchair accessible and everyone is welcome to join in this
musical evening. Find out more about Immanuel at their website:

the redemption of individuals from the bondage of sin through the
atoning work of Jesus. The program is designed to give participants
a deeper understanding both of Passover and of the Communion table.
Public is invited. Please bring a friend. For more information
please call the church at 725-5959.
