The Lord’s Supper

is a special celebration of the Gospel of God’s love, forgiveness, and salvation. This sacred meal is for those who repent of their sins, believe in Jesus as their Savior, and who hunger and thirst for God’s righteousness. Communion is also a holy union of God with His people and His people with each other. VISITORS who are members of LC-MS congregations are welcome to commune with us. Other visitors please check with Pastor before communing with us, or consult with blue folder in the pew Bibles for more info.     ****Communion is celebrated the first and third Sundays of each month. During the summer we also celebrate on the corresponding Saturday evenings of these first and third Sundays at 6:00 PM.

Announcements:

  1. Today, on the Lutheran Hour we listen to LH Speaker, Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler as he presents to us a message based on Genesis 39:21 titled,  “Bloom Where You’re Planted.” Blessing, in a Biblical sense, means God’s favor in any circumstance, no exceptions, because there is no place or circumstance in which God does not belong.    Next week’s message is titled, “Knight, Death, and the Devil.”   Listen to The Lutheran Hour at 6:05 am Sunday, on WCCO – Minneapolis 830   or    listen on your computer:    lhm.org.

 

  1. TODAY, July 5th we welcome everyone to come and stay after the service for a Thank You  to Pastor Lund, for filling in as our vacancy pastor.  There is a basket available to anyone wishing to bring a card.   Coffee and donuts will be served.

 

  1. TODAY, AT 2:00 PM, we are having the Installation Service for Pastor Frazee. Please stay afterwards and welcome Pastor Frazee, his wife, Anna, and son, Anthony. The Immanuel Men’s Club will be serving cake and beverages, too.

 

  1. This past week we welcomed Winston Ernest Flitter through baptism. Winston was born April 6th, 2026, and is the son of Kendra Flitter.  His sponsor was Liz Krueger. His witnesses were Harlow Johnson and Hudson Johnson.  Welcome Winston to Immanuel!

 

  1. We wish to thank all those who came Wednesday morning, and those who came in the afternoon to unload trailers of Pastor Frazee’s family’s things as they moved into the parsonage. Many hands of different ages helped to make the job that much quicker and easier for all.

 

  1. ATTENTION:   We are in need of people to sign up and help with altar duty any remaining month of the year.  Wondering what you would need to know? Whichever month that you choose to sign up in, there is a list of things to do located in the sanctuary.  If you have any questions, the elders can answer any of your questions also.

 

  1. Immanuel School is participating in Hy-Vee Fundraisers for the school.

           #1 –Please keep your Mankato Hy-Vee grocery receipts.

There is a collection box on the counter across from the mailboxes with a poster on the box with more information. The school will receive cash for every receipt and barcode turned in. Deadline for collecting is JULY 31ST, 2026.   Thank you for your support!

 

 

  1.
