Come to the Mini-stry Fair!

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.

Here's what's been happening at Immanuel Lutheran School!
· We are super proud of our mathletes Collin Bittner, Alexis Morales, Erik Olsen, and Aidan Toner. They represented Immanuel for our second year of participation in the IMSA Junior High Math Contest. All of our students did their personal best; one more than doubled his individual score from last year! While our team did not place in the competition, they did receive the highest score in their section and outperformed students from four other middle schools in Batavia and the surrounding area.
· We are also extremely proud of our science scholars who participated in the Science Championship at the International Museum of Surgical Sciences in Chicago: Jorie Anderson, Evan Bloemker, Ryan Bowman, Olivia Groetken, Jack Nelson, and Mason Popp. Two students qualified to go to the next level of competition in Atlanta, and one received a medal as the highest scoring sixth grader!
· There was lots of experiential learning going on this week! Our preschoolers took a field trip to the Batavia Public Library, while third graders visited the Batavia Depot Museum and baked cookies to deliver to the Batavia Police Department. Third grade also had a guest instructor from Junior Achievement teach them about financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Fourth grade visited Fermilab, and their Junior Achievement instructor helped them build catapults. Fifth graders made historical figures out of bottles; the culminating activity of a history lesson in which they read a biography of their choice, wrote a summary, and created an art project. Our seventh grade students have been pen pals with our first graders, writing letters back and forth throughout the school year. This week the seventh grade visited the first graders to play board games together.
