Immanuel Lutheran Church, Compton IL. I grew up on the farm across the road. I was baptized, confirmed, married and my husband is buried at this church.

I was baptized, confirmed, and married at this church. I attended Sunday school here. I played the pipe organ all through high school and when I came home weekends during college.

It looks as beautiful and well kept as ever. Many wonderful memories.

Immanuel has been my home church all my life. I am still active in the church and attend regularly. The Schlesingers were founding members over 150 years ago, and there are still many family ties to the congregation. Our current pastor is a Schlesinger!
