The Holiday Food Drive for 2019 offered by Thrivent Financial for LifeHouse was received this past week. Too late for the November newsletter. Copies (on green paper) of the form are located on the table at the back of the church. Please mark the quantity and total price of the items you would like to donate; total the price and write a check to IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH for that amount. Give them both to the Financial Secretary or put in the offering plate. One check will then be written from Immanuel. Please have all turned in by DECEMBER 1, 2019, as they are due by the 6th of December. Thank you.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS: We have just finished the month of October during the month our offerings for World Vision totaled $17.03. Our average attendance was 16 students per week. Thank you, parents for considering Sunday school an important part of your children’s lives.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: On Sunday, November 10th our Sunday school children will be singing praises to God during the worship service.
HAPPY HEARTS OF IMMANUEL PRESCHOOL: Parent/Teacher Conferences were held the week of October 21st. The three-year-old’s Bible story was from Genesis 37, Joseph’s Colorful Coat. Their Bible verse was Romans 12:21 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” They read the book, Go, Dog, Go! They worked on the letter Cc and reviewed the number 3. The four-year-old’s Bible story was from 2 Kings 22-23, Little King Josiah. They learned that God wants us to be attentive to what He wants us to do. Their Bible verse was Proverbs 19:20 teaching us to listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may be given wisdom in the future. The character trait being Attentive. They read the book, Inside, Outside, Upside Down. They learned angle line character letters V-W. They also enjoyed two days off for Fall break. This past week started with a family-themed unit for both classes where they got the opportunity to talk about their families using a family picture to share information about each family member. A graph was then made to show how many people each preschooler had in their family. They read some books and talked about the different types of families. Costumes were worn on Wednesday and Thursday; treats were eaten and pumpkin themed activities were enjoyed. The week ended with school pictures on Friday.
DECEMBER 24, 2019: Our music director Terri Hoeneman and her assistant, Judy Geisler along with the Sunday school teachers are busy planning the Children’s Christmas Eve service. More information will follow. We hope to have many participants available that evening.

Rehearsals will be held on Sunday afternoons in the First Lutheran Church music room at 2146 Wright Street in Blair. We will rehearse from 5:00-6:00 PM on October 20th and 27th, November 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th. The choir is open to anyone living in the Blair area. Please invite friends, neighbors, co-workers, family members, etc. to join us, as this non-auditioned choir welcomes everyone!
SYMPATHY CARDS for sale in the Social Room: By the box they are $5.50 to $6.50-there are 12 in a box. There are some broken boxes if you wish to buy individually, at $.50 to $.65 each. All have a Bible verse. You can find these Christian cards on the metal shelf, west wall. A metal container is there for your payment. Thank you, Lydia Circle.
Blessed are the pretty? Blessed are the popular and productive? Blessed are the self-sufficient? No! Blessed rather are the poor, the meek, those who cannot feed (Matthew 5:6) or defend themselves (Matthew 5:7, 9), for they exhibit just how much God gives and does for humankind. If He calls sinners His children (1 John 3:1) and makes saints of such as us (Revelation 7:9-10), how can mere age, appearance, or inability disqualify anyone else?
