Immanuel Lutheran in Lincoln welcomes interim pastor Rev. Stephen Goodwin

 

[November 14, 2019] 

Immanuel Lutheran Church has a new Interim Pastor, the Reverend Stephen Goodwin. Born and raised in Manchester, England, Pastor Goodwin denies having an accent (he thinks everyone else has one) but admits that the distinctive manner of his speech encourages people to listen, and hopefully pay attention, to his sermons.

Before coming to Lincoln he has served as interim pastor in Altamont and Fairbury. For 15 years Goodwin was pastor at Anchor and has previously served congregations in Metropolis, Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky; Hitchcock, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Join us to hear his delivery of the holy scripture on Sundays at 9:00am or Saturdays at 5:00pm.

Our Christmas Eve Celebration begins with a 2:00pm Ecumenical Service which includes Lessons and Carols and 7:00pm and 10:00pm Candlelight Christmas Eve Services both including communion.

Our congregation participates in a community Christmas program, “Carols, Choirs and Christmas” will be held at St. John UCC in Lincoln on Sunday, December 22nd at 7:00pm with fellowship and refreshments to follow.

Contact the church office for more information (217-732-6777).
