SUNDAY SCHOOL. During the Sunday School hour (9:30-10:15 am) the adult class is studying the Augsburg Confession. The children and youth classes meet during the same time through Sunday, May 17th.
BOARD of MISSIONS COLLECTION For the month of May we are collecting household and personal items for Passageways of Wichita. Passageways is a non-profit organization founded by Lutherans which seeks to provide shelter, food, hope, and a new mission for veterans who have been homeless. A list of needed household and personal items that are needed can be found on the bulletin board above the donation box located by the church office. Thanks for any help you are able to give!
MISSIONARY PARTNERSHIP Our Together-In-Mission partners – Rev. Michael and Shanna Hageman – are now in Tanzania. If you’d like to give to supporting the Hageman’s and the Lord’s mission to Tanzania, “Together-In-Mission” offering envelopes can be found on the shelf in the narthex that you can use in giving your support through the Sunday morning offering. Make checks payable to “Immanuel Lutheran Church” and the church will then forward these offerings to the Office of International Mission each quarter.
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY continues this Wednesday at 6:30 pm. The book being used is “Strong and Courageous: Studying God’s Promises in Joshua” by Donna Snow. All ladies of the congregation are invited.
ELECTRONIC GIVING Supporting the ministry of Immanuel is easier than ever. You can set up automatic, secure ACH offerings directly from your checking or savings account. This option offers you convenience and helps provide our congregation with steady, consistent support. If you would like to set up electronic giving, you can go on-line to immanuellutherancanton.com or contact Brent Nutter for help. Thank you for your generosity!
MAY CALENDAR and NOTES can be found on the stand in the narthex.
LWML MEETING The ladies of the LWML meet this Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm. Kim has the opening and closing and Charlene serves as hostess for the evening. All ladies of the congregation are welcome to attend.
ASCENSION DAY SERVICE We will be holding a Divine Service this Thursday, May 14th at 7:00 pm in celebration of the Ascension of Our Lord.
HELP NEEDED The Canton-Galva Ministerial Alliance hosts a Senior Breakfast for those graduating from Canton-Galva High School and our congregation has been asked to help. We need two breakfast casseroles (must be taken warm) and a coffee cake. We also need to provide one or two people to help serve. The breakfast is next Saturday at 9:00 am but the food and helpers need to be there at 8:00. Please contact Sandy Schmidt if you can help.
MAILBOXES All members/families of Immanuel have a mailbox assigned to them and so please be sure to check your mailbox on occasion. The mailboxes are in the fellowship hall by the coat rack and you can determine which box is yours by looking on the laminated sheets that are located with the mailboxes.
A SIGN-UP SHEET is posted on the bulletin board by the church office for mowing the church yard and/or the cemetery. All help is greatly appreciated!
GRADUATION INVITATION “We would like to extend an invitation to our church family to celebrate Paige Vogts’ high school graduation at her reception on Saturday, May 16th from 4-6:00 pm at our home (backyard) at 2638 Dakota Road. Graduation ceremony at Moundridge High School at 2pm on the same day if you would like to attend.” ~ Milton & Julie Vogts
GRADUATES Today we recognize our seven seniors who graduate from local high schools next weekend. The Board of Education is presenting a devotional book to each of the soon-to-be graduates entitled, “Words of Strength and Promise”. The graduates are: Jordyn Elliot, Wyatt Henry and Camden Kruse who graduate from Canton-Galva High School; Jamison Kohl and Allie Soeken who graduate from Hesston High School; and Owen Colwell and Paige Vogts who graduate from Moundridge High School. We thank the Lord for these seven young people and pray the Lord’s continued guidance and grace be with them as they begin new chapters in their lives.
Prayer Requests
+ For Ashley Jowers, Krista Clites (sister of Jamie Kohl), Lilli Slater (step-mother of Pastor Slater), Marilyn Vogts, Marsha Wilkening, Donna Hamm, Karri Strack and Adam Soeken who face health issues.
+ For those homebound and in assisted living facilities: Richard Andrus, Irma Bullinger, LaVera Vogts, Lorene Crouse, Duane Moddelmog, Betty Colburn and Vernon Nutter.
+ For our brothers and sisters who face persecution for faith in Christ.
+ For missionaries Michael and Shanna Hageman as they serve in Tanzania.
+ For those who battle addictions and/or are incarcerated, that they may know the peace and hope that only Jesus can give.
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.
