Announcements at Immanuel

WE WELCOME EVERYONE who has worshipped with us this morning. We hope you will be able to worship with us again soon.

THE CANDLELIGHTERS for this morning are Anna Kahny and Julianna Kumm and next Sunday they will be Blake Bahr and Connor Gutz.

MEMORIAL DAY: Each May, the United States celebrates a day called Memorial Day. Memorial Day was first widely observed in May 1868. The celebration commemorated the sacrifices of the Civil War and the proclamation was made by General John A. Logan. Following the proclamation, participants decorated more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldier’s graves. In the following years since World War 1, the day has become a celebration of honor for those brave men and women who died in all America’s wars, as well as those who are Veterans and current members of the U.S. military. Memorial Day was declared a national holiday in 1971. The U.S. celebrates this holiday the last Monday of May (tomorrow May 31). We thank God for the sacrifice of all that have gone before (veterans and civilians) who have sacrificed for our nation.

NO SUNDAY SCHOOL today! Summer Sunday school will be held the last Sunday of June, July and August.

BIBLE CLASS: The adult Bible class will continue the series: “Dangerous Teachings of Christianity.” Today the focus will be on atheism, which denies the existence of God. Today’s atheism is different from the atheism of Madalyn Murry O’Hair of the 1960s. Actually, there is no such thing of as atheism, because everyone, no exceptions, exalts something as god. How can you engage in conversation with today’s atheist? Come to this morning’s Bible and explore the possibility.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL will be held July 12-15 from 5-8 p.m. and the closing program will be on Sunday, July 18th during the church service. A sign-up sheet for volunteers is up in the back of church. Please consider helping with this mission right here in our own community. Registration for students will begin in June.

CHRIST CANDLE, standing near the pulpit, has been lighted for Sunday services since Easter morning. Because the Christ candle symbolizes the presence of the resurrected Christ with His Church, it is lighted from Easter to Ascension. Today, Sunday after Ascension, we observe with Ascension Day hymns, prayers, and sermon. However, since Ascension marks the bodily return of Jesus to the right hand of the Father in heaven, we do not light the Christ candle again until next Easter, except for the very special services such as baptisms and funerals.

ADULT BIBLE CLASS continues the series, “Dangerous Teachings of Christianity.” Today’s topic will zero in on miracles. Do miracles happen today? If they do, how do we explain that to unbelievers? Since every class is a “stand alone” unit, you can join class anytime and pick up the discussion. We often say today, “That was a miracle,” was it really?

NEXT SUNDAY Pastor Erik Christensen, Associate Pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Wayne, NE, will lead worship and adult Bible class. Pastor Carl and Darlene will be in Collinsville, Illinois for the confirmation service of grandson, Andrew. While Pastor is out-of-town, Pastor Jerome Leckband (402-992-0509) is available for any pastoral emergencies.

PASSING THE OFFERING PLATE is more than a ritual! The passing of the place gives opportunity to physically place our first-fruit gifts into the service of His Kingdom. In addition to singing, praising, and prayers, our offerings are acts of worship. The bringing of the gifts to altar, acknowledge that we take from our bounty and return to the Lord, literally putting them on the altar that they might be used wisely. We thank and praise God that we are blessed to take another step toward the normal life of the church.

QUILTING LADIES will meet Monday at 1:00 p.m.
