Immanuel Lutheran church of flatville - 150th anniversary celebration

The 150th Anniversary Celebration was held April 6-7, 2024 with a full day of activities to mark the occasion. Sister congregations in the area as well as past clergy and families joined us.  The NALC Bishop accepted our invitation. Leading up to April 2024 we pursued education with Sunday School students, increased understanding of our history and built passion for God’s work in our community as Immanuel starts its 151st year.  


The committee has selected the NALC Seminary as the "cause" with high hopes of raising $150,000 in honor of our upcoming 150th celebration. Anyone wishing to donate should indicate NALC Seminary when giving and we will track progress towards that goal from now until December 2024.  We thank the early generous donations earmarked as 150th Celebration and feel we have sufficient funds for anticipated celebration expenses.
