One of the things that makes Immanuel special is the way our church and school come together to encourage one another. Sometimes we simply know a need and spring into action. For example, last week members of our congregation got together, knowing that our teachers are working extra hard due to COVID-19, and made ice cream sundaes and root beer floats for our staff. Our students also made bright, cheery cards for a member of the congregation who is in hospice. “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” [1 Thessalonians 5:11]
