This Week’s Banner... The teachers and classes at Immanuel

have made banners to decorate the

church in honor of its 150th

Anniversary. This week’s banner is

“Peace” made by 5th grade. Peace is

the third listed Fruit of the Spirit.

Jesus gave us His peace in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my

peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not

your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” Immanuel

Lutheran School teaches our students about Jesus so that His

peace may dwell in each of them.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE

PROPERTIES COMMITTEE

Have you ever considered how you can help

to take care of God’s House and His school

here at Immanuel? There are �mes when we

can save the cost of hiring professionals and

use the money to further God’s Kingdom,

because volunteers have skills and are willing

to give of their �me to accomplish various

tasks around the building. Perhaps you have no�ced a need

somewhere and are interested in volunteering to correct it. Some

projects will require skilled people, while others won’t require

special abili�es. Some projects will have a skilled volunteer

overseeing the work, helping others to learn-as-they-go. You do not

need to be a member of Immanuel to volunteer, and anyone high

school age and older is welcome.

To Volunteer…As you can see, there are lots of things to do,

and we need more hands involved to accomplish the tasks. Contact

Bill Mayyou at (847) 520-0715 or mayyouwj@aR.net with any

ques�ons.
