SUNDAY SCHOOL (9:30-10:15 am). The adult class is beginning a look at the book of Revelation. The children and youth classes (Pre-K through high school) also meet each Sunday morning.
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY. It’s not too late to join. The study is on the Psalms using the book “Everlasting” by Christina Hergenrader and meets each Wednesday from 6:30-7:30 pm with fellowship after for those able to stay. Please contact either Julie Vogts or Caley Moddelmog with any questions.
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 October we are collecting non-perishable food items for the Moundridge food bank. Please place your donations in the bin located by the church office. Thanks!
PORTALS OF PRAYER for October through December can be found in the narthex. Large-print copies are available.
THE OCTOBER 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.
YOUTH GROUP MEETING. All middle and high school youth of the congregation are invited to a meeting next Wednesday, October 14th at 7:00 pm.
CHICKEN NOODLE DINNER. This annual dinner, hosted by the ladies of the LWML for the whole congregation, will be held next Sunday, October 11th, following the morning’s Service. Come and enjoy a great meal and fellowship!
LWML SUNDAY. The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is the official women’s auxiliary of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Since 1942, they have affirmed each woman’s identity as a child of God and her relationship with Jesus, encouraging and equipping women to live lives of active mission and to support missions around the world through their gifts of mites, offerings, and tireless service. Through their efforts, countless neighbors from all walks of life have been reached and touched by God’s love in Jesus. Please feel free to join the ladies of our local chapter on the second Tuesday of each month as they gather for prayer and study of God’s Word and discuss ways to share the love of God with our neighbors.
CHILI COOK OFF. Thanks to everyone who participated in the 4th Annual Chili Cook-off this past Sunday! Congratulations to the winners: 1st place – Baylor Boesker; 2nd place – Samantha Colwell; 3rd place – Olivia Kurkowski. We had lots of great chili to choose from and thanks to everyone who brought food to go along with the chili!
THANK YOU. “Thank you to the Bible study ladies for the wonderful meals, those that prayed for me before, during and now after my surgery. The congregation has been so kind and our family appreciates it immensely.”
~ Julie & Milton Vogts
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT. “Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits” (Matt. 21:43). The Pharisees were not bearing fruit. Though they were faithful to the letter of the Law in keeping the Sabbath, tithing and all the rest, they neglected the heart of God’s will. The grace of God belongs at the center. Our giving and all our other good works flow forth from receiving God’s grace and living in that grace on a daily basis.
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) and Corliss Harker 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.
+ For those who battle addictions and/or are incarcerated, that they may know the peace and hope that only Jesus gives.
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.
