Christmas Eve Program

Yup, we said it...Christmas Eve Program. Christmas time is fast approaching so we are ready to assign parts for the Christmas Eve program and begin practicing. Therefore we need to know if your children will be able to attend the program so we make sure to give them a part. Please let Cashayne or Jodi know by this coming Sunday. You may also send a message to immanuelenews@gmail.com and Jodi will receive the message.
Thanks ~ Cashayne & Jodi

Scavenger Hunt Food Drive


Immanuel's 5th-7th grade Sunday School class will be doing a scavenger hunt food drive on Friday, November 9th. We will start east of the church around 4:30 pm and will work our way towards Huron. The collected items will be donated to the Salvation Army Food Pantry. The youth will have a list of items to earn them scavenger hunt points, but any non-perishable items that you donate will be more than appreciated. Last year, they collected 8675 scavenger hunt points so they hope to get even more this year. If you will not be home, but would like to donate you may leave items at the church or talk to Jodi to make other arrangements. Thank you in advance for helping us "Can Hunger!"

Sunday School kids wanted to share the "Pumpkin Prayer" that they learned this morning! After learning about the prayer they made rice krispy treat pumpkins with a snicker hidden inside and a tootsie roll stem. Below are pictures of a few of the kids with their pumpkin treats!!


"Pumpkin Prayer"
 
Dear God,
As I carve my pumpkin help me say this prayer:
Open my mind so I can learn about You; Psalm 100:3
 (Cut the top of the pumpkin)

Take away all my sin and forgive me for the wrong things I do.
1 John 1:9
(Clean out the inside)

Open my eyes so Your love I will see; Psalm 119:18
(Cut the eyes out in heart shapes)

I'm so sorry for turning up my nose to all you've given me.
Psalm 86:5
(Cut a nose in the shape of a cross)

Open my ears so your word I will hear. Proverbs 18:15
(Cut the ears shaped like the Bible)

Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near. Psalm 118:17
(cut the mouth in the shape of a fish)

Let Your light shine in all I say and do! Amen. Matthew 5:16
(Place a candle inside and light it)
