Spring Sing Musical – Trapped in a land unlike his home, a young man must find
his way home, but in doing so will find so much more. This is the basis of the
musical ‘Out of the Wilderness’ written by Owen Duncan and Caleb Worral. The
youth will be preforming the musical in a classic radio style. The performance is
today at 3:00pm. There will be an ice cream social following the performance. Invite
a friend, and enjoy a free show.
Please join us TODAY between services for our May Voter’s meeting. All members
of Immanuel are encouraged to attend this important meeting. We will be holding
the annual election of officers and board members.

Stewardship Thoughts 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of
him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” God has called us to be
His own – out of love, out of mercy, out of sheer, divine joy He has chosen us. The
Apostle says that God has done this that we may share in His glory and joy, that we may
“proclaim the excellencies of Him” who has made us His own. And truly, this is our
delight! His joy breeds joy in our hearts as well.
