Sunday, November 8th, Bulletin News & Notes

SUNDAY SCHOOL (9:30-10:15 am). The adult class is continuing a look at the book of Revelation. The children and youth classes (Pre-K through high school) also meet each Sunday morning. 

MISSIONARY PARTNERSHIP. If you’d like to give in support of our Together-In-Mission partners, Rev. Michael and Shanna Hageman, and the Lord’s mission to Tanzania, “Together-In-Mission” offering envelopes can be found on the shelf in the narthex for giving your support through the Sunday morning offering. Make checks payable to “Immanuel Lutheran Church” and the church will then forward these offerings each quarter. 

BOARD of MISSIONS COLLECTION. For November we are collecting children’s mittens, gloves, scarves and winter hats for the Wichita Children’s Home. A Christmas tree will be set up around which you can place your donation. The Board of Missions will be delivering these items around the first of December so that they children/youth will have them during the winter months. Thanks for any help you are able to give toward this offering! 

CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM practices will start next Sunday, November 15th during Sunday School at 9:30 am and continue every Sunday through December 20th. The program will then be held on Sunday, December 20th at 6:00 pm. Refreshments will follow. 

THE LUTHERAN WOMEN’S MISSIONARY LEAGUE (LWML) meets this Tuesday at 7:00 pm. All ladies of congregation are invited. 

ADVENT MEALS. Advent will soon be upon us and there will be four weeks of midweek Services this year (7:00 pm Service each Wednesday). For the first three of those weeks we will gather at 6:15 for an evening meal and we need three groups to sponsor one of the meals (December 2nd, 9th, 16th). If your board or group would like to sponsor a meal, please sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board by the church office. 

THE NOVEMBER CALENDAR and NOTES can be found on the stand in the narthex. 

MEN’S BIBLE STUDY will be held next Saturday morning from 7:45-8:45 am at the Hub in Moundridge. All men of the congregation, high school and older are invited to come as well as any guests. 

THE ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DINNER will be held following this morning’s Service of the Word. Everyone is invited and encouraged to stay and enjoy turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing with all the fixings! 

95th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! Join LaVera Vogts and her family on Saturday, November 21st for a “Come & Go Card Shower”! The celebration will be at the church from 1:00-3:00 pm. Refreshments will be served. 

THANKSGIVING FOOD VOUCHERS. The Canton-Galva Ministerial Alliance is giving $100 food vouchers to those needing some extra help this month in buying groceries. The vouchers can be used at Canton Lockers, Tin Roof Pantry (Galva), and Dales Supermarket (Hillsboro). If you or someone you know would benefit from this extra help, please see Pastor for a voucher. 

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT. “But the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps” (Matt. 25:4). Why did they take flasks of oil with them? Because they listened to the Bridegroom’s words and believed what He said. Our actions always start with and flow from our beliefs. What do your actions in the realm of stewardship say about what you believe? 

LIFE QUOTE. “And so, there’s a stage for every age, a place to use the talents we’re given and to see faith grow. Blessings to you all as you serve in the many ways God has prepared, as you see that we function together in one blessed Body. We will never tell Him that there’s nothing for us to do.” Rev. Dr. Daniel Paavola, Guest Speaker on “The Lutheran Hour”. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life, lutheransforlife.org. 

Prayer Requests 

+ For Krista Clites (sister of Jamie Kohl), Lilli Slater (step-mother of Pastor), Marilyn Vogts, Marsha Wilkening, Karri Strack, Denise Spicer (daughter of Arlene McKee), Julie Vogts, Corliss Harker and Julee Slater who face health issues. 

+ For those in assisted living facilities: Richard Andrus, Irma Bullinger, LaVera Vogts, Lorene Crouse, Duane Moddelmog, and Betty Colburn. 

+ For our brothers and sisters who face persecution for faith in Christ. 

+ For missionaries Michael and Shanna Hageman as they serve in Tanzania.

LIVESTREAM HELP - We are needing to train a third person on live streaming for Sunday Adult Bible Study and Worship service time. Please contact Brent for details. This would involve setting up the iPad, logging onto Facebook and our church website, copying and pasting some links, maybe adjusting some volumes during the worship service periodically. We would also show you how to set up the video camera and amplifier for use with the Fellowship Hall TV / Sound System.

PRIVATE CONFESSION & ABSOLUTION - Pastor Slater will be available in his office, for any individuals who would like to have private Confession and Absolution in preparation for receiving Holy Communion, from 9:00am to Noon, each Saturday prior to the Sundays in which the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated. This is of course voluntary and not required for receiving Communion. Just an opportunity to further prepare your heart and mind for anyone who might so desire. Any questions, please let Pastor know.
