Immanuel Lutheran Church in Waterloo




Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in Waterloo will be undergoing big changes during the month of June. The property the church and school has occupied since the 1950’s has been sold. The buildings will be torn down over the summer to make way for a CVS pharmacy. The last major events in the building will take place the weekend of June 2 and 3, 2012. June 2nd will see a school celebration for friends of Immanuel with alumni basketball games, an open house, and closing program on the schedule. June 3rd will be the last two Sunday services at 207 Franklin Street, with selections by a group of alumni handbell ringers and an alumni choir. A short program and time of fellowship will follow the early service. Disposition of the church property will take place immediately following the late service. The congregation will then convoy to its newly purchased site for a ground dedication. A new church will eventually be built off Oster Parkway in Cedar Falls. Immanuel will worship temporarily at Christ Lutheran Church, 234 S. Hackett Rd. in Waterloo, starting June 9 and 10.
