CHAPEL MISSION PROJECT: SHOWERING FLINT WITH GOD’S LOVE (APRIL-MAY) For our last quarter we will be raising money for St. Paul Lutheran Church & School in Flint. They are in desperate need of water filtration system for their campus so that they can have clean & safe water to drink. The cost of this is $60,000. So all the Lutheran Schools in Michigan will be focusing on raising money to help St. Paul during April & May. Our goal is to fill a 5 gallon water jug with money to help out with the cost of this project.

MOM’S NIGHT OUT – May 7, 2016 @ 5:00 pm - There are so many incredible moms and they deserve...a night out! As a gift to these amazing moms Immanuel Lutheran Church & School offers free child care in a safe/secure environment. The night includes dinner (for 4 years old and up), games, crafts & a movie. Seriously, children will think it's THEIR night out. Drop off starts at 5pm and pick up can be as late as 8:30pm. Moms, go to dinner, shop, take a nap...whatever you like! It's YOUR night out. No age limit, however, if a child is over 12 we may ask them to help out. Also, if a child cannot have pizza, mom's should bring something for the child to eat. Register children by calling Pastor Michael Heiden at 586-372-6155 or emailing him at mheiden@immlutheran.org and include the names of the children and their ages. If you’re not a mom and you want to volunteer: http://vols.pt/UXjWry
