At that time, the couple will receive the marital guidelines and information about the required premarital counseling. Our pastor’s re­sponsibility is not only to officiate at the Marriage Service, but also to prepare the couple for the years of married life. Therefore, the couple is required to meet with one of the pastors for 4-8 hours of premarital prepara­tion prior to the wedding. Normally, the pastors will not marry a couple unless they have had the opportunity to spend adequate time in premarital counseling sessions or unless other acceptable ar­rangements have been made beforehand. text/html 2010-03-05T18:17:15+01:00 http://immanuelbrookfield.org/serve http://immanuelbrookfield.org/serve/content/view/1183/32/ As ministries focused on the experience of our members and guests, the Information Center and Greeters focus on providing the congregation with: · Greeters at each service to welcome worshippers · Ministers at the Information Desk to field questions from both members and guests text/html 2010-03-05T18:13:43+01:00 http://immanuelbrookfield.org/serve http://immanuelbrookfield.org/serve/content/view/1182/77/ Our third/luncheon meeting of 2010 will be this Wednesday, March 10!

We had over 350 Girl Scouts from grade schools and middle schools located inLannon, Sussex, Northwest Brookfield, and Butler (St. Agnes) at Immanuel participating in the event. Over 25 Girl Scout Troops participated in setting up booths representing countries from around the world to commemorate Girl Scout Thinking Day. It was exciting to see the parking lot full and the gym packed with people from our community who may not have been aware of Immanuel before that evening. Thank you to Laura Barton and Jim Radewahn for their help in making Immanuel a wonderful venue for this event.
