Principal's Corner
Immanuel has been offering full-time, in-person learning for four weeks now. God is good! I attribute this to God’s blessings on the start of our year and the tireless effort that everyone has put into the health and safety protocols we have in place.
There are so many joys related to our ministry of offering in-person learning this year. The happy faces, the class prayers, the sharing of beloved Bible stories, students learning new hymns and songs, classmates explaining concepts to each other in religion class, and preschoolers recognizing pictures of Jesus in their home because they learned about him in school. Praise God for these moments, and may He continue to bless our school year!

Going Deeper
As part of our upcoming sermon series, Going Deeper, we'd like to hear from you. How has your relationship with God gotten deeper during these last unprecedented months? How has Jesus helped you navigate the unnavigable?
We would like to share these stories, with your name or anonymously--your choice, on social media, in a special blog, and--again if you're willing--on our YouTube channel.
We ask for written articles of approximately 500 words and videos of less than three minutes. Please submit by Sep. 25 to the email address below.
