The worship drama, “Witnesses” will be performed at Immanuel on

Sunday, April 26 at 9:30 A.M. during the worship service. The one-man play

features professional actor and speaker, Jonathan P. Swenson.

In this dramatic performance, Swenson portrays eight different

characters (historical and imagined) as each responds to Jesus. Through the

eyes of these characters, both comic and serious, the audience is challenged

to see Jesus from fresh perspectives. You won’t want to miss it.

MISSION STATEMENT Building Strong Relationships in Christ,

And Making Him Known to All.

Dear Friends,

We’re glad the days are

finally getting warmer after a

long and cold winter. The

weather has caused some of our

members not to be able to get

out each week for worship these

past months. We hope all of the

Immanuel family will make an effort during the coming

weeks and months to be a part of our weekly gatherings. We

have a very special month ahead.

On Sunday, April 5 we celebrate the Lord’s resurrection

with our Sunrise Service at 7:00am and our Festival Service

at 9:30am. The youth will service the traditional Easter

Breakfast from 8:00-9:00am.

On Sunday, April 12 we will welcome to our service

Trevor Rubenstein, the Executive Director of “Good News

for Israel,” a wonderful organization headquartered in

Minneapolis, that reaches out with the Gospel of Christ to

Jews in Israel and America. Several others from that

organization will share at our adult class that day.

On Sunday, April 19 we look forward to hearing from our

six confirmands as they share from the pulpit and the altar

railing concerning their commitment to Christ. Let’s support

these young people with our attendance that day. They have

some wonderful things to share with us.

On Sunday, April 26 we will enjoy having Paraphrase

Theatre’s Jonathan Swenson perform during the worship

service a one man drama dealing with the various witnesses

to Christ’s ministry, death and resurrection. You will

certainly be blessed by his presentation. More information

can be found on the color poster in this newsletter.

You won’t want to miss any of these special services. May

God speak to us in new ways as we faithfully gather to

worship Him.

Special Invitation

The family of Sierra Tate would like to

invite you to join us Sunday, April 19th for

refreshments in the Social Hall following the

worship service.

Sierra wants to celebrate her confirmation with the

entire congregation and thank you for the part you have

played in her Spiritual Growth over the past 15 years.

(Note: Since the winter weather kept many members from worship during the first part of the year,

would you consider an extra gift during the Easter season?)

Confirmation Sunday - April 19

The following ninth graders will

affirm their faith in Christ at the 9:30

A.M. worship service on Sunday,

April 19: Eryn Delahoussaye, Riley

Holmgren, Graham Nicholson, Claire Petzenhauser,

Sierra Tate, and Luke Wyatt. Please remember these

young people in your prayers and support them with

your presence at the service that day.

Note: The worship service on April 19 will

remain at 9:30 A.M. Sunday School and Adult

classes will meet as usual at 8:30 A.M.

Adult Class in the Social Hall

On Sunday, April 12 we will hear from several

people from Minneapolis who have just returned

from a trip to the Holy Land where they did

evangelical work among the general population. It

will be exciting to hear their stories. The trip was

sponsored by “Good News for Israel.” The

executive director of this organization will preach

at our worship service that Sunday.

April 19 – May 3 we will discuss the first

episodes of A.D., the new 12 week TV series

covering the events of the book of Acts that will be

seen on NBC each Sunday evening beginning

Easter Sunday. Clips from the episodes will be

shown. You won’t want to miss these sessions.

Everyone is welcome.

Study guides for the entire series can be

purchased for $8.00 in the narthex or in the church

office. For more information about this TV series

turn to the color poster in this newsletter.

You and Me Forever: Marriage in

Light of Eternity

This adult education series resumes

Sunday, April 12th at 8:30 a.m. in the

Cornerstone Room and runs through

May 3. Based on the book from best-

selling author Francis Chan and Lisa

Chan, this Bible study series

challenges you to view your marriage like never

before. The inspiring videos help us dive deeper

into the content of the book, exploring themes like:

A jealous God asks us to pursue Him first and

most. Then life makes sense, and everything

falls into its proper place.

Love, laughter, and intimacy were all created to

be enjoyed. So there is a way to love family

deeply without ignoring heaven.

It all comes down to our focus. Jesus was right.

We have it all backwards. The way to have a great

marriage is by not focusing on marriage.

Visit www.youandmeforever.org to watch

previous episodes you missed, order the book, or

download a free copy of the book if you can’t

afford it.

The End of Lent

Here we are through Lent, God.

It’s Easter…

But that’s not how I act.

I act as if —- “Well, that’s over for another year!”

God, help me to rejoice and be glad;

To feel the reality and wonder of the resurrection

with my whole being;

To be able to mean “Hallelujah!”

as I mean my shouts of joy

when I discover a truth and

really understand it,

when work I’ve done is praised and appreciated.

May the reality of Easter awaken this depth of feeling

and meaning

in all my life,

so I can look at life —

and shout

“Hooray!”

—Laura Mashrick

in Encounter for Lutheran Youth

Rescheduled Young Adults Dinner Out

On Saturday, April 11th, the Young Adults are

heading out for dinner together in Ames. We’ll talk

about ways we can more intentionally follow Jesus

in the everyday stuff of life. Need childcare? Some

of our teens and adults will have pizza, games, and

activities for your kids in Immanuel’s nursery and

chapel from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Donations will go toward this

summer’s youth mission trip to

Please RSVP to Pastor Kurt at

jensku01@gmail.com to find out

know how many to expect.

Sunday School News

Easter is on April 5th and we will NOT have Sunday

school that day.

The Kingdom Kids ( 3 year old - 1st grade) will start the

lesson, Growing for Jesus, on April 12. The lessons in this

series will help children learn that they need to grow both

physically and spiritually so they can do the work of God.

The Young Disciples (2nd - 6th) will have a speaker on

April 12 who will be talking about Sportsmanship. The

next two Sundays, April 19 and 26 will be devoted to

practicing for the end of the year program on May 3. Please

have your children present at the practices. If your child

will not be able to attend the May 3rd program please e-

mail Lisa at lisamcilrath@hotmail.com and let her know.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School will be June 8th-11th. Bible

School is a great way for the youth in our church and

community to experience God. The theme for the week is

"Transformed". "Do not be conformed to the pattern of this

world, but be transformed by the renewing of

your mind. Then you will be able to test and

approve what God's will is - His good,

pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2

Bible School will run from 9:00-2:00 for

kids entering 1st - 6th, and 9:00-11:30 for kids

3yrs – entering Kindergarten (preschool class pending if

we have a teacher volunteer). The enrollment form is

available online; please complete one for each child and

turn it in to the church office prior to the start of Day Camp

so we can have an accurate head count for the Riverside

team who will be leading. Kids in 1st-6th grade need to

bring a sack lunch and drink each day. A program featuring

the highlights of Bible School will be Thursday night, June

11th at 7 pm. Volunteers are always needed and very

helpful to make the week run smoothly! Current needs are

host families for Riverside staff, lunch providers for

Riverside staff, snack providers, class helpers, ice cream,

and registration day helpers. Please contact the church

office at 733.4972 if you can help!

We are looking forward to having a

number of individuals and families join

our congregation on Sunday, May 3. For

those who are presently a part of non-

Lutheran churches, we will have three

classes, at which time we will review the

basic elements of the Christian faith.

Those transferring from other Lutheran

churches will be asked to attend the last

class. Please let Pastor Anenson, Pastor

Jensen or the church office know if you

would like to join our faith community!

Piano Recital

The students of Milianna Carlson will

participate in a piano recital in the

Immanuel Chapel on Sunday, April 12 at

2 P.M. Everyone is welcome to attend.

April is Month of the Young Child &

Child Abuse Prevention Month

In 2014, LSI’s early childhood

programs made more than 14,900 home

visits to Iowa families with infants,

toddlers and preschoolers. These programs

help parents learn about child

development, parenting strategies and

community resources, and they can also

help reduce some of the risk factors that

may lead to child abuse or neglect, such as

critical stress. LSI often partners with

parents who grew up in unstable home

environments and desire to give their own

children a different quality of life. Your

support helps our youngest Iowans grow

up healthy and safe!

Upcoming Riverside programs

Mark your calendars for the upcoming

Riverside programs. Check Immanuel’s

narthex bulletin board or Riverside’s

website (www.RiversideLBC.org) for

more information. Register online or pick

News from the Coyles

Dear Praying Friends,

Ukraine has been a hot topic again in the media, due to

the ongoing war in Eastern Ukraine. The conflict has

become a gaping wound for the country of Ukraine and its

people who have suffered so much. Because of the distance

from the actual fighting, we don’t feel threatened in a

military sense here outside of Odessa. However, the

pressures of the war and Ukraine’s crumbling economy, a

direct result of the ongoing instability, are distinctly felt.

We have appreciated your concern for us during this

difficult time for Ukraine as a nation. Yet for us and our

ministry, the political conflict seems like the tip of the

iceberg. It’s visible and easily identifiable, but beneath the

surface larger problems exist.

Challenges have come from without and within the

Bible School. Due to the political climate, relationships

with partners were strained. As the context for ministry

evolved, we realized that the full-time, residential model

for the Bible School was no longer sustainable or even

responsible. The school board had hopes of changing the

model to make it more accessible for Ukrainian young

people. Much to our surprise, the former Bible School

director resigned, introducing a new set of challenges for

the school. Andy has served as interim director since

January 1.

Due to the many serious and deep issues related to the

Bible School, as well as the departure of co-missionaries

Ole Magnus and Sasha Breivold this July, we sensed that

our time here was winding down. The past few months

have confirmed this direction. After much prayer, counsel,

and deliberation, we have decided to end our call and will

return to the US following graduation June 28.

This has been a difficult past year. As we process this

for ourselves, it is helpful to remember each face that God

has brought to us at the Bible School and other events. We

are thankful for those students whom we have seen God

change and renew by the power of his Word. Despite the

deep frustrations and disappointments of the past year and

a half, God has worked.

Please be in prayer for us as we continue to work

through these changes. There are so many things that need

to happen over the course of the next few months.

In His Love,

Andy, Monica, Moriah, Isaiah, Josiah and Levi

Note: Let us pray for the Coyle family during this difficult

time.

The Coyle Family

Sometimes It’s Hard to Ask for Help

We’re brought up to be strong, self-

sufficient, independent people. We tend to

think that if we ask for help, it is a sign of

weakness. So we try to keep our struggles

hidden, stuffed deep inside. However, that’s

not God’s plan. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one

another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of

Christ.” God wants us to care for others—and

allow others to care for us in our time of need.

If you’re sad or struggling inside, don’t

suffer alone. Ask for help. We’ve got a team of

Stephen Ministers who are ready to listen, care,

encourage, pray, and help you through a tough

time. (It’s confidential too!) Find out more

about Stephen Ministry by talking with one of

our Stephen Leaders: Pastor Anenson, Pastor

Kurt, or Gayle Tate.

Our Stephen Ministers are there to care!

As Holy Week approaches, our thoughts turn to the

people and events that played a vital role in the great

story of our redemption. Recruited by Christ himself and

the only disciple Jesus called “friend.” Judas Iscariot has

always been the villain, the one who inevitably prompts

the question, “How could he do that?” Tasca Lee, in her

book Iscariot, A Novel of Judas has written an insightful

look into the character of Judas as well as the culture and

events of the time. What was the motivation behind

Judas’s decision to give Jesus over to his enemies? Not

only will readers find themselves rethinking the life of

Judas Iscariot, but also asking “Would I have had the

faith and courage to be one of those early followers of

Christ?”

Readers of Lauraine Snelling’s “Red River” books

and subsequent series will want to continue on with the

Bjorkland family in To Everything a Season. The little

town of Blessing, North Dakota is experiencing growing

pains. As more people come to settle there, the town’s

two doctors, sisters-in-law Elizabeth and Astrid, and their

small hospital find themselves stretched thin. Help comes

when a nursing internship program is established with a

Chicago hospital and the first nursing students arrive, but

does Blessing have enough to offer professionally and

personally to keep the city girls there? This is another

enjoyable book in the multi-generational saga of the

Bjorkland family.

Kansas author Kim Vogel Sawyer chose an earlier

time in her own state’s history as the setting for her novel

A Hopeful Heart. Widowed rancher’s wife Hattie Wyatt

has seen a goodly number of young women arrive from

the East in search of husbands, only to find frustration

and disappointment due to a lack of understanding of the

necessary skills needed to survive as a rancher’s wife on

the Kansas prairie. Thus is born the Wyatt Herdsman

School of Barnett, Kansas. With the goal of teaching the

young ladies to be “somebody who know ranchin’ inside

an’ out,” Hattie has her work cut out for her with the

arrival of the first six girls. Tressa, the most unlikely

candidate to be successful, forms a special bond with

Hattie, but can she win over the most unlikely candidate

for marriage in the area? Adding a bit of intrigue in the

form of a cattle rustling mystery, Ms. Sawyer has written

a thoroughly enjoyable story.

Experience this season of promise by stopping in the

library. We promise you’ll find a great book to read!

Easter blessings to all.

Graduation Faith Stepping Stone Our high school seniors and

their families are nearing the end

of their last year together. Soon

God will send them off on new

adventures.

In our Graduation Faith

Stepping Stone, seniors and their

parents gather three times over the course of the

year for a meal and a chance to reflect on the

journey of their life together. They look back at

the blessings God has provided them in each

other. They work on setting things right with

each other in the present moment. They dream

together about the calling God is giving them in

their future. Our last Graduation Faith Stepping

Stone brunch will be held in the Cornerstone

Room after church on Sunday, April 12th.

Seniors, please call or email the church office to

let us know if you can come! Feel free to bring

other seniors and their families; just let us know

how many to plan for! If you’d like to honor our

seniors by helping with the meal or the

Graduation Stepping Stone, please talk to Pastor

Kurt. You can find out more about the Faith

Stepping Stones at www.faithink.com.
