SALUTING OUR HERO

On Veterans Day we celebrate and thank those who have

previously served in the armed forces. On Armed Forces Day we

celebrate and thank those who are currently serving.

On Memorial Day we celebrate and memorialize those who

have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. This

and every Memorial Day weekend Immanuel Lutheran Church

and School salutes the sacrifice Immanuel’s own hero

Christopher Patterson made, and that his family continues to

make each and every day. Saying thank you feels far too easy.

We give thanks to God for the sacrifice and courage of each

fallen soldier, and ask His continued blessings, comfort, and

peace for every fallen soldier’s family.

SUMMER AT IMMANUEL

COOL IDEAS FOR KIDS THIS SUMMER

Summer Sunday School, for children age 3 through

Grade 2, begins on Sun., Jun. 2 during the 9:30 AM

service. Kids begin worship with their families, then

leave with the group for special Jesus time de-

signed just for them. They will rejoin their families

prior to the end of services.

Also Jun. 2-Jul. 28, 2019 Summer Children’s

Message series, The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss.

Each week at 5:30, 8, and 11 AM worship services,

children will hear a Dr. Seuss story, which will then

be correlated to a familiar Bible story. Children

(and adults!) will enjoy finding God in the most

unexpected places!

Perennial favorite Vacation Bible School, for

children age 3 through Grade 5, is Jun. 17-21, 9-

11:30 AM. This year’s theme is ROAR! Life is Wild,

God is Good. Join us for a roaring good time! Kids

and volunteers can register online at

immanuelbatavia.org/vacation_bible_school.

Summer Enrichment Classes are held the same

week as VBS and run 12:15-3 PM. Children regis-
