Shoebox update:

We are doing great on this year’s Operation Christmas Child shoebox collections. We have only a handful of shoeboxes remaining. We have received numerous items for the children at our school to pack into their shoeboxes. Thank you!

As a reminder, shoeboxes should be returned to Immanuel by Sunday, November 15. Also, please do NOT pack soaps, liquids, toothpaste, food, or candy in your boxes, as those items are not permitted. Pack your box full, and don’t forget to personalize your box with a short note or picture!

Prayers for all the children involved are strongly encouraged. Monetary donations to help pay shipping costs are still welcomed, as well.

Immanuel’s big event is next week! Here is what you can do:

  • Invite your friends and family to attend this great event in our school gym

A reminder to high school teens and parents: Starting in November, the Sunday Reset is going to have a couple of changes. The first change is with its schedule. On November 8, the Sunday Reset will start taking place every week from 6:30-8:00 PM, but will alternate groups each week. One week will be for our young women, the next will be for our young men. The second change is with our focus. While we will still have an activity each night, we are going to spend more time in Bible Study. Check your email for details.
  • Project Compassion members: your fall meeting is this Wednesday, November 4 at 9am in the Mission Center. Please plan to attend.
  • Immanuel’s 5th grade students will be leading Immanuel Lutheran School’s Veterans Day Program on November 11 from 2:45pm to 3:15pm. We take time to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. Students will share the history of Veterans Day and explain why it is important to recognize and celebrate our veterans. Families and veterans are encouraged to attend.
