It’s been so wonderful to have our Youth and Confirmation classes back in session! Our Youth group is now learning through the book of Acts, via a video series by Youth Alpha. Our confirmation group is finishing up a unit breaking down the Apostles Creed, and will now study units in Baptism, Communion, Confession and Forgiveness, and Daily Prayers. Both groups will also be collaborating with several members of the church who plan worship services and music, as we look forward to leading an entire church service! May 19^th, or Pentecost, will be an all youth led service, with Wing and Prayer providing music selected by youth. This will be both the 9:00am and 10:30am service.

BAY Rally is Wednesday April 24^th. Youth students will meet at ILC at 5:00pm, then depart to BAY Rally, held at the Northern Pacific Center.

We will be celebrating our local graduates with ties to Immanuel on Sunday, May 5^th, during the 10:30 service. There will be a cupcake reception following the 9:00am service.

Our Manna for Malawi event raises money for food and education.  There is a project that Yami and Shadreck have started that we need to know about.  It is Alinafe Girls Rescue Center.  In Chichewa, Alinafe means 

Immanuel, God with us.  I encourage you to watch the documentary called “The Bride Price” on Lakeland PBS.  This brings much needed attention to the lack of girls’ education.  Here is the link to watch this video:
