Grant that we may hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that, comforted by your promises, we may embrace and forever hold fast to the hope of eternal life, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |

Kelly Preboski, Executive Director Luther Heights, will be joining us for worship on February 6, preaching the sermon, and bringing news of Luther Heights:
As I prepare to come visit your congregation in the coming weeks, part of what I will be discussing is LHBC 70th year anniversary in 2022. A part of that is collecting as many stories as we can gather about the impact this ministry has had on people.
Please click HERE for a form to print out, complete with your Luther Heights story or memory, and bring back to church. I will collect when I visit, or you can mail it to me at the address below.

Acolytes - You will notice some gaps in the Acolyte calendar! If your child would like to help, this is the BEST time to start! The responsibilities are few - lighting candles at the beginning of service, and putting them out at the end is it right now! Please let me know if you can fill in a gap for us!
Confirmation
Next Confirmation will be at Hope Lutheran on 2/6 at 1:30pm! (This is not our normal second weekend, because 2/13 had many conflicts). We will return to the second weekend of the month in March, and we will have another retreat in April!
**All Immanuel Youth events are open to all of our children and youth regardless of financial status. Money should never be a reason miss out on an event. We purposefully budget to include all youth in all events. If you need financial assistance to attend, please let me know!
