For the past three years, middle school students at Immanuel Lutheran School have been holding bake sales called Sweets for Sudan. Each homemade treat is sold for one dollar during lunch periods on the third Thursday of each month. Students were distressed after reading
A Long Walk to Water
by Linda Sue Parks. “I wish we could help,” said one student. “Well,” Immanuel middle school teacher Julie McFarland explained, “We can…. This is how Sweets for Sudan got started.” Immanuel Lutheran Church and School’s tagline, Developing Today’s Disciples, is being demonstrated through the efforts of these students to help children and families on the other side of the world."

The Church in Act[s]ion
Sep. 23-Oct. 21
In our quest for authentic discipleship we next turn to the early church and see what discipleship looked like among the first followers of Jesus. How did they live? Where did their fire come from? What practices were central to their life as they sought to follow Jesus in the fallen world? We will answer these questions in ways that will provide a framework for our life of faith as individual disciples and as a community of Christ followers. We will allow them to model authentic discipleship for us.

Oct. 21, Church that Multiplies
