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.
YOUTH GROUP MEETING. All middle and high school youth of the congregation are invited to a meeting this 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 following this morning’s Service. All are invited so come and enjoy a great meal and fellowship. Thank you LWML!
VOTERS’ MEETING will be held Sunday, October 25th. A potluck meal will be held right after the morning Service and then we will begin the meeting at approximately 12:15 pm. In addition to electing several new church officers board members and approving the 2027 church budget, we will also need to vote on the proposed change to our bylaws expanding the Board of Elders to four members from the current three.
THE CHURCH COUNCIL will meet on Thursday, October 22nd at 7:00 pm. Every officer along with a member from each board is asked to attend.
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT. “But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business” (Matt. 22:5). The invitation to join God in His feast and in His work is easily ignored. The rest of life seems so much more pressing, and we always think that there will be another time when we can catch back up with God. But what joys are we missing when we set aside God’s invitation to join Him in His plans and purposes? What inheritance are we trading for the world’s bowl of pottage?
LIFE QUOTE. “Your life is valuable, and your life has purpose. It was not an accident; it was planned from the beginning. But that doesn’t mean it will be easy. You will experience hardship and suffering. As you age, your body will wear out. Your mind will dull. Your abilities will lessen. And yet, it is in your body with all of its brokenness that the Holy Spirit resides. It is this, your body, that God the Father formed by hand, and it is this, your body, that Jesus, God’s Son, redeemed. And your body, a unique and miraculous gift, will be raised from the dead and made new.” Michelle Bauman, former Director of Y4Life. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • lutheransforlife.org.

+ 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.

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.
