Bulletin Cover:
SUNDAY SCHOOL - During the Sunday School hour (9:30-10:15 am) the adult class is continuing a study on the Augsburg Confession. The children and youth classes also meet during that time.
*WOMEN'S WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY * - continues each Wednesday evening at 6:30 pm. The focus of this study is on forgiveness. Any questions contact Julie Vogts or Caley Moddelmog.
*THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY* - Thursdays at 7:00 pm we have been offering a Bible study on some of the “3:16” verses of Holy Scripture. This study will also be broadcast over “Facebook Live” on the church’s public Facebook page (the “Immanuel Lutheran” page). If you will be participating in the study via the “Facebook Live”, outlines of this week’s study of 1 Corinthians 3:16 can be found on the stand in the narthex for you to take and then use for the study.
INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS and BOARD MEMBERS - This Sunday we will install our 2026 officers and board members. Even if you have been in your current position for a year or two, you will be invited to come forward to renew your commitment as well as to have the congregation renew their commitment to you. We thank all who have volunteered to serve for 2026 as well as those whose terms come to a close.
PANCAKE FEED - on Monday, January 19th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm, the men of our congregation (through the Lutheran Laymen's League) are hosting the annual pancake and sausage feed at the church. A free-will donation will be accepted and the youth group will also be helping to serve. The supper is open to the public so be sure to invite your neighbors and friends!
OUR REGULAR QUARTERLY VOTERS’ MEETING - will be held Sunday, January 25th. A potluck meal will follow immediately after the morning’s Service and then we will hold our meeting.
PORTALS of PRAYER - for January through March can be found on the stand in the narthex. Large-print copies can be found on the shelf.
THE JANUARY CALENDAR and NOTES - can be found on the stand in the narthex.
MY DEVOTIONS - for December through February can be found in the narthex. These devotionals are great for our grade school and middle school youth in helping them grow in their faith and connecting Jesus to their lives.
LIVESTREAM HELP - We are needing to train a third person on live streaming for Sunday Adult Bible Study and Worship service time. There are some dates coming up in March, May and June that we will need coverage for. Please contact Brent or Tanner 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.
