As Fall begins, lives get busier and it can become harder to make time for God's Word. That's why the staff of Immanuel has started something new: weekly devotional videos.

Whether in the morning while eating breakfast, during an afternoon break, or winding down from the day, these short videos walk through the Psalms as a helpful tool to keep Jesus as our focus. A new video will be available on the You Tube channel ( ) & ILCS website in the Ministry area every Monday.

The link to the latest week's devotion is in the first comment below.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!

A Prayer for the Nation:
Almighty God, you have given us this good land as our heritage. Make us always remember your generosity and constantly do your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance and from every evil course of action. Make us who came from many nations with many different languages a united people. Defend our liberties and give those whom we have entrusted with the authority of government the spirit of wisdom, that there might be justice and peace in our land. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful; and, in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail. We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(from the Lutheran Service Book, p.313)

Let’s face it, Middle School is hard! Kids are growing, testing boundaries, & figuring out who they are. It can be a challenging time for children & parents alike to navigate new expectations, new emotions, & all. the. things. Having a community--like you’ll find at Immanuel--can help alleviate many of these pressures. Our students are surrounded by teachers & staff who love them, but also teach right from wrong, with grace & forgiveness. Grounded in God’s love, we help students develop their moral compass so they can more confidently make quality choices for the right reasons, now & in the future. We prepare them for the next big step into high school while also navigating where they are currently with all those challenges that come with growing up.
