Immanuel Lutheran Church
All God’s People at Immanuel is excited to host this two-part workshop.
- Part I is geared to parents and caregivers of persons with disabilities focusing on how to discuss sexuality and relationships with their loved ones. Our presenters will guide us on how to get over our natural discomfort with these conversations.
- Part II will be a private discussion for adults with disabilities of all ages to address their concerns and questions. (We will provide a room nearby for caregivers where they can relax and also be available during that part of the workshop.)

PENTECOST
At Pentecost, The Holy Spirit came to the disciples with stormy winds and tongues of fire. On May 15th, Immanuel celebrated this first day of the church year with a fun-filled Sunday School lesson. Families gathered by the outdoor fire pit on a perfectly appropriate windy morning! We sang and talked about the significance of fire and the light that God gives to all of us. Parents and youth partners shared the day's Bible reading, and then used a parachute to emulate the wind and send their spirits out into the world! Paintings were made in a unique way, to envision ways we can help God's light shine on others and within ourselves.

THANK YOU
During Epiphany, our Sunday School students collected toiletries donated by our congregation and bundled them into kits for the less fortunate. There was such an abundance of supplies that the last basket was just recently distributed to Church Beyond the Walls. Pastor Linda of Church Beyond the Walls recently sent this note of thanks!
