Weekend

�

Sunday School �

Thanks for an awesome�first week of Sunday

School! Elementary had a blast beginning a

month of talking about Initiative: Seeing

what needs to be done and doing it. This

week, ask your child: "What around you

needs to be done?" �

Toddlin’ to Jesus had some great fellowship time learning all about

creation! We are so blessed to have so many vibrant young families

learning together the importance of Christian parenting and fellow-

ship together while their small ones learn about their Creator.�

Forgot to sign up? The registration link is still live on Immanuel’s

Serenity Garden Bricks�

We currently have two engraved brick orders and we strive to have at least 10 orders to

be most cost efficient (because the monument company who engraves the bricks charg-

es $250 for coming out, regardless of one brick or ten).�For ten bricks, we bring in

$1,225, so roughly $1,000 goes into supporting the upkeep of our campus gardens.

And you have to agree, we look pretty good! Our volunteers have done a great job!

These engraved bricks are in the Serenity Garden on the north side of the Sanctuary

along Jefferson Street. Take a moment to stop, enjoy and remember in this place of

peace and calmness.�

��

We would like to have one last push for brick orders, before

the cold weather is upon us, so if you have�an upcoming wed-

ding, baptism, graduation, confirmation, other event or recent

memorial,�won’t you consider placing a brick order?�They are

$125 and can contain 13 characters (including spaces) per line

with 3 lines.�It’s a lasting memory. You may call the Church

Office (636.946.2656) to place an order or pick up a form in

the Church Office.�

Library Coordinator Needed�

We are looking for a parent or grandparent who would be interested in volunteer-

ing to be our library coordinator.�Tasks would include maintaining the library

catalog, ordering books, coordinating classroom library schedules and volunteer

schedules.� Interested parties should email Mr. Huster

at�[email protected]�

What an Honor!�

During this year’s LESA Cooking for

Kids livestream event and auction

Vernon & Joann Schroeder were hon-

ored as the 2021 LESA Heritage Club

Honorees. This award recognizes indi-

viduals who are members of the Herit-

age Club of the Lutheran Elementary

School Association’s (LESA) Founder’s

Society. It is reserved for those who have

included Lutheran Elementary School

Association of St. Louis in their will,

trust and/or estate plans, or have named LESA as a beneficiary (whole or partial) of

an insurance policy or retirement account, and/or have established an endowment

fund. Vernon & Joann Schroeder volunteer at SSM Hospital, have two children, and

are both alumni of Lutheran elementary schools � an experience that they will tell

you has laid a foundation for both of them throughout their life, sort of like a

roadmap, guiding them through life’s best and worst times. They recognize that not

everyone can afford this educational opportunity, and they want to help. Recently,

Vernon & Joann created a named endowment to benefit LESA that will provide

scholarships for years to come for children of all faiths enrolled in Lutheran schools.
