Immanuel United Church of Christ marks 125th anniversary
Immanuel United Church of Christ in Bartlett celebrated its 125th anniversary during worship Sunday, Aug. 21, dedicating a commissioned mosaic by local artist Lambert Lucettio and hearing guest speaker, former minister Rev. Bill Nagy's message, "The Unrecorded History of Immanuel Church."
Nagy served Bartlett's Immanuel Church from 1962-1969 and currently lives in St. Charles.
A picnic on the church lawn, with musical entertainment, followed worship.
Rally Day
At 9:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 28, Immanuel will kick off the Sunday school year with Rally Day. This year's theme is "Following Jesus Into the World." Children will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, for a short practice; any child is welcome to participate.
Children will sing and parade flags from around the world during Sunday worship's Children's Message, then attend Sunday school in the Education Building. An Ice Cream Social will follow.
Parents or guardians may register their child or children for Sunday school that day; registration forms for ages 3 years through seventh grade will be available. Eighth grade Confirmation classes will begin after Labor Day.
