Area Reformation Service: October 26th
THE MOST IMPORTANT REFORMER YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF. You've heard of Martin Luther, but what about Matthias Flacius? Exactly, never heard of him. But you will at our annual area Reformation service. Hosted by St. Peter's, Fond du Lac, our guest preacher Dr. Wade Johnston will highlight Flacius' critical work to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A presentation on Flacius will take place at 2:30pm. The Area Reformation Service will follow at 4:00pm, with WLA musicians and singers under the direction of Mrs. Abby Kurth and Mr. Dale Witte.

GriefShare: Wednesdays at 9:30am
When a loved one dies, it can feel like you are alone. Few people understand how painful and isolating your grief can be. But that does not mean you have to suffer by yourself. At GriefShare, you will find a safe, comforting place where you can talk with others about your grief. GriefShare sessions are held on Wednesday mornings 9:30-11:00am. Please join us as together we journey through our grief recovery beginning September 10th.
Religion 101: Tuesdays at 6:00pm
Do you know anyone who has questions on the doctrines of the Bible? Do you know anyone who
wishes to learn more of the teachings of our Church? Do you wish to review the basic teachings of Scripture? Please join us on Tuesday evenings at 6:00pm as we learn more about the teachings of the Bible.
Living Water Sprouts
Living Water Sprouts is our ministry designed especially for families with children aged 0-5 years old. Just as little plants grow strong near streams of living water, our prayer is that Sprouts will help nurture your child's faith and support you as you teach them the truths of the Bible. Each family will receive a Children's Bible, and every Sunday you can receive a new interactive activity to do with your children at home. You will find the Living Water Sprouts table in the Fellowship area on Sundays, where Sara Isom and Vicki Schneider will provide you with your next activity!
Midweek Bible Study: Thursdays at 9:00am
Our midweek Bible Study is held on Thursday mornings at 9:00am. Our current topic is: “The Ideal Congregation.”
What is the church? The church is the gathering of all believers in Christ around the means of grace – the gospel in Word and sacrament. It is made up of people who have been made holy through the blood of Christ and have become his followers.
​
CLICK HERE TO JOIN VIA ZOOM. If you are unable to join us then, the same Bible Study is offered at Immanuel Congregation (338 N Eagle St, Oshkosh) on Tuesday mornings at 9:00am.
Sunday Morning Bible Study at 10:00am
Our Sunday morning study takes place between our services and the topic is: “Quick to Listen.”
You no doubt have run into people whose lifestyle and outlook are so contrary to your own. You recognize that these are people Jesus wants to rescue from their lost condition. These are the people Peter was talking about when he encouraged believers to share the “reason for the hope that is in (them)… with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15-16).
​
Perhaps you can think of ways to slap these people down with clever arguments and witty retorts – and lose them forever. But how do you speak with gentleness and respect so that they hear the reason for the hope you have in Christ?
​
As a companion to the book Quick to Listen, this Bible study helps clarify the issues and formulate your response to these people that demonstrates how Jesus and his salvation are so much better than the best they could hope for from their present lifestyle and outlook. Join us for this informative and timely Bible study.
