Emanuel Lutheran Tiger Talk

The Church consists of people like us who are often weak and timid witnesses for Christ. So, Jesus promised to send us his Spirit to give us power from heaven, that we might take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Moreover, he ascended into heaven and sat down on the throne of God. He lives and reigns over everything for the benefit of his Church. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m. 

Easter proves that God can take what normally causes people to weep and turn it into what causes people to rejoice. Sin, death, and shame went into Jesus’ tomb. Forgiveness, life, and glory came out. Our risen Savior gives us a joy that remains constant in the highest of life’s highs and the lowest of life’s lows. Because he lives, we have deep and lasting joy. Want to hear more?

The halls of Emanuel Lutheran School recently buzzed with entrepreneurial spirit as the second-grade class put their learning into action. For their social studies curriculum, these young learners embarked on an exciting project that took them through the entire lifecycle of a business. From initial concept to final sale, the students experienced firsthand what it takes to be an entrepreneur. The creativity on display was truly inspiring. Budding business owners conceived, marketed, and priced a diverse array of goods and services. One student established a lively nail salon, where classmates and staff could receive colorful manicures. Another proudly offered their services at a photo studio, capturing smiles with an instant camera. Shoppers could also acquire unique handmade rubber band jewelry or select a beautifully painted rock. For those seeking entertainment, a student offered to perform a song, while others displayed their original artwork for sale. The second graders extended i...

  Turn Your Everyday Spending into Support for Emanuel! Have you ever wished your regular purchases could do more? With scrip, they can! Scrip is a fantastic fundraising program where you can buy gift cards from hundreds of popular retailers – including grocery stores like Woodman's, Piggly Wiggly, and Festival Foods, restaurants like Chili's, McDonald's, and Starbucks, and home improvement stores like Home Depot and Menards – at face value. When you purchase scrip, Emanuel earns a rebate, which is the difference between the face value of the gift card and the discounted price we pay. Often, this is a few percent lower than the gift card value. You might be wondering, does Emanuel  really  earn money through scrip? The answer is a resounding YES! Over the past ten years, our scrip program has generated over $140,000 that directly supports our ministry and school. Imagine the impact we can have together if more people participate! This is a powerful fundraising opportunity...

Today, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of our "AR Top 20" readers for the current school year! These dedicated students have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to reading, diving into countless books, and accumulating significant Accelerated Reader points. For those unfamiliar, Accelerated Reader (AR) is a program that helps encourage and track students' independent reading. It involves students choosing books at their reading level, reading them at their own pace, and then taking a short quiz to assess their comprehension. As students read and successfully complete quizzes, they earn points based on the book's length and complexity. AR helps teachers monitor progress and guide students toward their reading goals. Our "AR Top 20" have truly embraced the world of reading this year. Their hard work and consistent effort have placed them in this elite group. Let's recognize these top readers (listed by their Accelerated Reader point values): Wi...

This week we see that Jesus asks for just one thing—love. He asks us, in every interaction we have with others, to demonstrate the same selfless love that he has shown to us. Fortunately, Jesus doesn’t just ask us to show love. Jesus empowers us to show love. The same divine power that raised Jesus from the dead now raises us up to a new and better life, enabling us to set aside our natural selfishness and self-glorification and instead live in a more excellent way. Like Christ, we strive to do everything for the benefit of others. Because he lives, we live lives of lavish love. Fortunately, Jesus doesn’t just ask us to show love. Jesus empowers us to show love.

Jesus always does what he says. His every promise is fulfilled. Jesus once illustrated that point in a striking metaphor, that of the Good Shepherd. All shepherds use words, calling to the sheep hoping they will follow. What sets the Good Shepherd apart is the fact that his words are followed by action, including his willingness to lay down his life for his sheep. Because he lives, we know Jesus is trustworthy and true. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

We continue to follow Jesus' work of salvation.  This week we learn how Jesus was put on the cross, his suffering, and then death.  We are reflecting on how OUR sins put him there.  He felt our sicknesses and pain.  Jesus took that all on himself.  The children had some realization moments with this.  I even heard, "You never told us that before!"  I am so thankful they are hearing it now!  When we reflect that our sins are the reason Jesus went to the cross, it becomes much more personal.  Jesus did t...

A recent survey asked Americans which of the five senses they would least like to lose. 77% chose sight. Navigating life blind poses a plethora of challenges. This is why Scripture often uses the concept of blindness as a metaphor for how hard it is to navigate life without a correct understanding of Christ. No matter the form spiritual blindness takes, Easter has the power to replace it with sight. Spiritual sight gives us the ability to see who holds our future in his hands and who is worth our eternal worship. Because he lives, we can see things clearly. Want to hear more?
