How are you living out your discipleship development?
During the past year we were presented with a variety of opportunities to develop our personal discipleship; to consider ways to work as partners in ministry and be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.
As a natural follow up to this year of learning and of defining our personal relationship with God and our path of discipleship, we are taking time during the season of Lent to ask our members to consider their commitment to ministries of Immanuel Lutheran Church and School.
On Sun., Mar. 31, we ask you to join us at a Mini-stry Fair in the church lobby. You will have an opportunity to give some thought to the gifts God has given you and where your time and talents might best serve Him. A time and talents commitment form is available, either online or in PDF format to download and print, at
immanuelbatavia.org/findyourfit
.
On Sun., Apr. 7, members are invited to share their pledge of financial support of the ministries at Immanuel by submitting their 2019 2020 Commitment Forms. Check the sidebar at left for online and PDF versions of this form.
We hope this past year has helped develop your discipleship. Please consider how you will help support the ministries of this church and school continue Developing Today’s Disciples.

Our students and teachers are on spring break this week, but there were still several things happening!
- Our middle school students held another Sweets for Sudan bake sale the last two days before spring break, and they raised $170 towards their goal of raising $1,200 to help build wells and provide water in drought-stricken Sudan.
- Scholastic Book Fair materials were delivered and set up. The Book Fair will be Apr. 1-5 and will be open during the History Fair on Apr. 4 from 6:30-7:30 PM, as well as each day from: 8-8:30 AM, 11:15-12:15 PM, 3:15-4 PM.
- The yearbook was completed and submitted. Many thanks to all of the teachers and especially Penny Suydam for their help in making the yearbook a special memoir of the school year for our students.
- Hopefully our spring break has allowed everyone some time to renew on a personal and spiritual level as we gear up for the last two months of school!

Just like you dial 9-1-1 for emergencies, you can now call “2-1-1” in Kane County and be connected to a live specialist, any time of the day or night, to assist you with human service and resource needs
With more than 1,000 government, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations providing much needed services throughout Kane County, it can be overwhelming and confusing to know who does what and exactly where to start to get help needed. 2-1-1 is a free, centralized, anonymous place to start with a specialist on hand to help sort out the options. No computer or internet is required, translation is available in over 150 languages and callers of all ages can use this service as often as needed.
