Join us for a new Prayer Yoga series on May 25, June 1 & 8 at 4pm. This gentle and grounding practice combines movement, breath, and prayer to help center your body and spirit. Open to all ages and abilities—no experience needed. Mats will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you have one. Come as you are and move at your own pace.

Join us on Sunday, June 1 during the 9:30 a.m. worship and Fellowship Hour as we celebrate our high school graduates. We give thanks for their accomplishments and lift them up in prayer as they move forward into new opportunities. Cake will be served as we share in this joyful milestone with our graduates and their families.

Fortune Lake Light the Fire will take place at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at 555 Riverside Road in Marquette on Sunday, June 1 at 7:00 pm. The Board of Directors invites you to the 2nd Annual Light the Fire for Fortune Lake, a community-centered evening of friends, family, faith, and fellowship around the campfire as funds are raised for Fortune Lake. All are welcome and there is no fee to participate.

The Companion Congregation Committee of Immanuel invites you to participate with the Companion Congregation Service on Pentacost, Sunday, June 8, 2025. We hold this service annually with Yombo Lutheran Church, our companion congregation in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In addition to the service, there will be Tanzanian food items and a silent auction during our fellowship hour.

The silent auction will be like last year in that members of the congregation are asked to donate works of art, food preserves, other creative or useful items to be bid on during the time leading up to June 8th. The auction will be set up in the fellowship hall beginning today and there will be forms for your item description, your name, a suggested minimum bid and a list for bidder’s, names, date and amount of your bid. Winning bidders should be prepared to pay for their item on Sunday, June 8th when announced. If you don’t have an item for the auction but want to support in another way, monetary donations are also most welcome.

In addition to fun, the silent auction is being held to raise “seed money” to help bring a delegation of 8-10 people from Yombo Lutheran Church to visit Immanuel in 2027. We did this for 2 weeks in 2018 and were blessed to grow personal relationships with our Christian brothers and sisters in faith literally half way around the world! Thank you in advance for your support of this future goal.
