All are welcome!

Save the date for this year’s BBBQ event! This annual celebration is an opportunity for Immanuel church and school to enjoy fellowship with each other and those from all walks of life in the community. In addition to kicking off our 2025-2026 school year, we will bless backpacks for our students and those from neighborhood schools.  Family-friendly, contemporary worship will begin at 10:30am and will be followed by a FREE BBQ lunch provided by The Community Meal.  Limited seating will be provided, but we encourage you to bring a picnic blanket and/or lawn chairs.

The worship and fun will take place once again at the Fred P. Hall Amphitheater, 262 E. Palatine Road, Palatine.

In the event of inclement weather, the activities will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School, 200 North Plum Grove Road, Palatine.
