THE BOARD OF MISSIONS - is gathering items in March to be given to the Hesston Food Bank. Any nonperishable food that you would like to donate can be placed in the cart located by the church office. All help is appreciated! 

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. 

MISSIONARY PARTNERSHIP - Our Together-In-Mission partners – Rev. Michael and Shanna Hageman – will soon be moving to Tanzania where Rev. Hageman will serve as a theological educator for local Lutheran pastors and Shanna will teach English as a second language. If you would like to give toward 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 forward these offerings to the Office of International Mission once every quarter. 

NEW WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY - will begin Wednesday, April 8th at 6:30 pm. The book that will be used this go-around will be “Strong and Courageous: Studying God’s Promises in Joshua” by Donna Snow. You can purchase the book on Amazon.com or through CPH.org. All ladies of the congregation are invited and feel free to bring a snack to share if you would like as there is a time of fellowship following the study each week. 

WEDNESDAY MIDWEEK SERVICES - conclude this Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm. Dinner for the whole congregation begins at 6:15 pm and is being hosted by the Women’s Bible Study group. For the midweek Services this year we are focusing on “The Lord in Prayer”.  

PALM SUNDAY PROCESSION - Next Sunday is Palm Sunday and all the children and youth of the congregation are invited to participate in the Palm Sunday procession that will begin the Service. 

EASTER MORNING ACTIVITIES - will include breakfast for all following the Sunrise Service until approximately 10:00 am. Beginning around 9:30 am there will be activities for the kids including a craft and ‘Easter smores’ and then an Easter Egg hunt. 

WELCOME - This morning we once again welcome Rev. Timothy Gordish of Wichita to lead the Services and proclaim the Lord’s word for us. Thank you Pastor Gordish for your faithful service to the Lord and His church! Pastor Slater will be getting home late this evening. 

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT -“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). This is the joy of the Gospel! There is no condemnation for us before the throne of God because in His love He has provided salvation for us in Christ. We have been set free. We are His children once again, and co-heirs with Christ of all the blessings of heaven. If this does not make us thankful, nothing will! 

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 Maria (sister of Rudy Dimaplas) who face health issues.

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

+ For missionaries Michael and Shanna Hageman as they prepare to begin work 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.
