Bulletin Cover:
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 - We recently adopted Rev. Michael and Shanna Hageman as our Together-In-Mission partners! The Hageman’s are currently visiting congregations in the states but 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.
SERMON - Printed copies of today’s sermon can be found after the Service on the stand in the narthex. Take one for your own use or to give to someone else!
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 - continue this Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm. Dinner for the whole congregation begins at 6:15 pm with a pulled pork dinner. For the midweek Services this year we are focusing on “The Lord in Prayer”.
PRAYER PARTNERS/MENTORS - The Board of Education needs six individuals willing to serve as Prayer Partners/Mentors for our middle school catechism students. If you are willing to so serve, please let a member of the Board of Ed know: Hannah Jones, Caley Moddelmog, or Olivia Kurkowski.
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT - “I cry to you, O LORD; I say, ‘You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living’” (Psalm 142:5). The Lord is our portion, our refuge, our everything. His mercy preserves us through all our days in the land of the living. This confidence frees us from the fear that so often leads to sins of greed and coveting. We have the Lord, we have a Father, He is in control, so we can follow His Word in confidence.
LIFE QUOTE - “Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby.” Carl Sandburg. A Life Quote from Lutherans for Life-www.lutheransforlife.org.

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.
