Jesus has ascended into heaven and is preparing a home for you and for me!  This week we focused on Jesus' work of getting a forever home ready for us in heaven.  While we wait here on earth to get to that forever home, Jesus has given us a big, big job...we are to go and tell!  All year we have learned to go and tell, and now we see when Jesus gave that command.  We are ready to go to our friends and neighbors and teach them the great news that we are all saved.  Help your children find opportunities to share the good news of Jesus!  Our field trip is Monday!  We are so excited(I don't know who is

Our hearts are bursting with pride after witnessing the phenomenal performances of The Little Mermaid Jr. this past weekend! Our talented student actors brought the underwater world to life with their captivating acting, enchanting vocals, and impressive choreography. It was a fantastic journey that left audiences breathless (and maybe a little misty-eyed!). See photos capturing the magic of the show in the link below!  https://photos.app.goo.gl/1826xBUCu7p9emGX6  

Jesus told his disciples that, though he was going to ascend into heaven, he wasn’t going to leave them alone. He was going to send “the Advocate,” a title for the Holy Spirit. But Jesus wasn’t sending the Spirit just to keep us company. Jesus would have the Advocate give us spiritual power so that we might participate in Christ’s saving work. Here is the final resurrection reality. The Spirit gives us the ability to raise the spiritually dead to life. We see this happen on Pentecost. The festival of Pentecost was held fifty days after the Passover. (Pentecost is Greek for “fifty.”) It was a time to thank God for the harvest. But on that day, through the Church at work, the Holy Spirit gathered another harvest, a harvest of souls. Therefore, Pentecost is the third great festival of the Church, along with the Nativity and the Resurrection. With the Festival of Pentecost, the festival half of the Church Year comes to a close. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m.

Please join us this Sunday, May 19, at 8 a.m. as we say farewell and offer the Lord's blessings to Julia Behm, Chris Luebke, Michelle Schaetz, and Abby Zuberbier. Ms. Behm served as one of our kindergarten teachers this school year and will be transitioning into public school teaching. Mr. Luebke accepted a Divine call to serve at Kingdom Prep Lutheran High School in Wauwatosa, where Chris and his wife will teach mathematics. Mrs. Zuberbier accepted a Divine call to serve as Learning Resource Center Director at St. Croix Lutheran High School. Mrs. Schaetz will be leaving us to focus on her family and their business. An acknowledgment of their service will take place during the 8 a.m. service. Following that service, our Emanuel School Board will host a cupcake reception for these workers.  "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Matthew 25:23

From the desk of Mrs. D :) A happy heart makes the face cheerful! Proverbs 15:13 Call, text, email Anytime 920-407-3000 mdobberstein@emanuelnl.org Upcoming Events:  5/11/2024 - 5:15 pm - Worship (in the commons) 5/12/2024 - 8:00 or 10:30 am - Worship (in the commons) 5/20/2024 - Dobberstein Farm Field Trip - Parents are welcome to join! Please return the permission slip! "Blessed are they who do not see and yet believe." Jesus encourages and blesses us with these words. We are those who have not seen Jesus, and yet we believe! The Holy Spirit gives us faith that Jesus was sent by our Heavenly Father to rise and save us! May we never doubt this message. Come and strengthen your faith regularly at church, JAM, and in devotion at home!   This week we began reading stories about farms and animals.  We are discerning if the story could be real or is it make-believe.  The children are doing a good job recognizing when animals talk it is make believe! Our egg watch continues!  We ar

This world is broken. Oh, certainly, we still see beauty in nature. By God’s grace, we have plenty of happy moments. But that does not change the fact that this world does not function the way God designed it to. It is dangerous, especially for God’s children. Jesus once promised that those who live for him will be hated (just as Christ was hated) by those who live for the world. The even greater danger is that the priorities prompted by this broken world tempt the careless Christian to devalue what truly matters. This world is very broken. For that reason, our gracious, living Lord promises that one day soon enough, he will take us to a better world. Moreover, he promises that until that time, his Father will protect us, preserving our faith through the truth of his Word. This is the resurrection reality. By God’s grace, we will overcome this broken world.  Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. & 10:30 a.m. **Please remember that during

Our awesome Student Council spent some time today popping batch after batch of popcorn to show our incredible teachers and office staff some love during Teacher Appreciation Week!  It was a blast (and a bit buttery!), and the teachers got a delicious treat.  Huge thanks to our Student Council for the initiative and a bigger thank YOU to our dedicated educators for all you do! #TeacherAppreciationWeek #PopcornPower #ThanksTeachers 

Congratulations to our amazing ELS and PSI 8th graders on their recent Confirmation! This is a beautiful step in your faith journey. May the Lord's richest blessings be with you as you embark on this new chapter. Remember, as Psalm 27:1 says, "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?"

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!  Jesus came out of the grave for us!  The angels announced this miraculous happening to the women.  They began their message with, "Do not be afraid!"  The Lord uses this message 365 times throughout the Bible, one for each day.  He reminds us that we no longer need to fear anything!  Jesus has done everything for us!  We are forgiven and given the gift of eternal life!  Thanks be to God! We finished our author study of Eric Carle.  We focused on his books and his lessons he wanted children to learn this week.  We read "Walter the Baker" and "Rabbit and Turtle."  We look forward to beginni

The entirety of God’s Word can be summed up in one word: love. God’s Law is all about love. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart...” and “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37,39). The gospel is all about love: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...” (John 3:16). From his compassion for the sick and broken to his sacrificial death on the cross, to the peace he provided after his resurrection, Jesus was the perfect embodiment of love. Love is his business. Therefore, love is our business too. The resurrection reality is that with the same supernatural power by which God raised Jesus from the dead, God now enables us to live a new life—one marked by radically selfless love. The motivation and ability to do this comes from seeing the endless love Christ has for us. We love only because he first loved us. Want to hear more?
