SALUTING OUR HERO
On Veterans Day we celebrate and thank those who have
previously served in the armed forces. On Armed Forces Day we
celebrate and thank those who are currently serving.
On Memorial Day we celebrate and memorialize those who
have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. This
and every Memorial Day weekend Immanuel Lutheran Church
and School salutes the sacrifice Immanuel’s own hero
Christopher Patterson made, and that his family continues to
make each and every day. Saying thank you feels far too easy.
We give thanks to God for the sacrifice and courage of each
fallen soldier, and ask His continued blessings, comfort, and
peace for every fallen soldier’s family.

COOL IDEAS FOR KIDS THIS SUMMER
Summer Sunday School, for children age 3 through
Grade 2, begins on Sun., Jun. 2 during the 9:30 AM

leave with the group for special Jesus time de-
signed just for them. They will rejoin their families
prior to the end of services.
Also Jun. 2-Jul. 28, 2019 Summer Children’s
Message series, The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss.
Each week at 5:30, 8, and 11 AM worship services,
children will hear a Dr. Seuss story, which will then
be correlated to a familiar Bible story. Children
(and adults!) will enjoy finding God in the most
unexpected places!
Perennial favorite Vacation Bible School, for
children age 3 through Grade 5, is Jun. 17-21, 9-
11:30 AM. This year’s theme is ROAR! Life is Wild,
God is Good. Join us for a roaring good time! Kids
and volunteers can register online at
