Children's Ministry
by Jill DeCent
SPRING is here, and the days are officially becoming brighter and longer-praise be to God! As we head into the busy months of March and April, we look forward to several happenings here at Immanuel. Our 5th and 6th graders will be offered the annual First Communion education sessions, as well as engaging in communion for the first time on Maundy Thursday, or Thursday April 1st. Students and parents will be introduced to lessons in Communion, utilizing interactive booklets for both communicants and parents.
Families are invited for a time of gathering, crafting, fellowship, and lunch on Saturday March 27th. We will be crafting a “Resurrection Garden”, that may be taken home to care for. A sign-up sheet is available on the door of the nursery.
It’s that time of the year also, where we begin planning for VBS-that’s right, we are prayerfully planning for our traditional VBS week, complete with all the wonderful IN PERSON activities! This awesome week cannot happen without our amazing volunteers, so a ZOOM session has been scheduled for Monday April 6th, at 6:00pm, to begin brainstorming and planning. If you would like the link emailed to you, please contact Jill DeCent at jilld@immanuelcrosby.org.
Youth Ministry
by Tammy Freeburg
Hello Kingdom families!!!
First of all thanks to all who showed up to help for our meal with a mission. We raised $816 for our Youth account! We are blessed abundantly by our congregation.

Bravo for all who have helped by ushering and greeting!
Snaps, claps and a hallelujah for our lectors: Eva Jarvela, Carson Freese, and Hannah Pedersen. It has been so great to count on consistency with volunteering families. Thank you
Lent season has brought us into a different style of youth night. Discussion groups on Wednesday evening have been going well. Trusting relationships are being built and our heavenly father is moving in all our lives. Our sense of church family is growing stronger. Yay!

Adding a music request portion at the end of the evening of youth night, has been welcomed and enjoyed.
Upcoming: March 31st (Wed) Pizza party

Just a thought: 

Spiritual warfare is real. It is definitely upon us during Lent season in particular. Keep in mind, the enemy tempted Jesus first.  

Ephesians 6:10-17
Suit up with the armor of God:
-belt of truth
-breastplate of righteousness
-helmet of salvation
-for shoes, peace, to carry the Good News
-the shield of faith
-the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Be strong and stand firm in God’s mighty power.

Look to Scripture IT IS WRITTEN

Planting seeds of faith
God bless
Faithfully,
Miss Tammy 
Meal With A Mission

The February Meal With A Mission benefited Immanuel's youth. The youth served Caramel rolls and fruit “to go."

There will not be a Meal With A Mission in March. The April Meal With A Mission on April 18th will benefit Manna For Malawi. The funds raised will be used for expenses related to the event on August 15th.
