THE SHEPHERD’S PANTRY is housed at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Canned meats, spaghetti and sauce, macaroni and cheese, cereal—hot or cold—hamburger/tuna helper, soup, canned fruit and vegetables and any canned or boxed items are always needed. Please place your non-perishable food items in the big basket in the Narthex. They are in need of the previously listed items on a regular basis. Monetary donations are used to purchase milk, meat, fresh vegetables and fruit to supplement the non-perishable items. They do have a small freezer now and can use hotdogs, hamburger, and margarine or other frozen foods you want to share. Thank you for being a blessing to our community!
COOKIES NEEDED--Our Church will be participating in the Information Fair at Chadron State College Aug. 17. The Board of Evangelism & Stewardship will be there giving out cookies and information to the students. We're planning to give out 200 sandwich bags with two cookies in each bag. So we're in need of 33 dozen cookies. We will furnish you with the bags. If you are willing to help, please contact Dottie T. or let any BES member know. Bags of chex mix, carmel popcorn, & bar cookies would also work. Thank you.
HARVEST TABLE--The table in the Narthex is for you and your family. Feel free to share in our Lord's abundance and blessings by helping yourself and/or bringing your extra garden produce to share with others. Free will offerings will go to help with Church expenses.
SAVE YOUR CANCELLED STAMPS FOR TUBFRIM—Stamps for Tubfrim a service program to assist the Norwegian Health Association in its effort to eradicate tuberculosis and aid handicapped and disabled Norwegian children was created in 1928. Over 20 years ago the Wyoming District LCMS elected to collect used postage stamps for the Tubfrim program. To date, Christ The King (collection center for the district) has delivered 122 pounds of stamps to the Sons of Norway, the service organization that finances the delivery of used stamps from around the world to Nesbyen Norway. We are currently holding an additional 40 pounds of stamps waiting to be shipped out. Well done Wyoming District!!
The Stamps for Tubfrim brochure request a ½ inch margin of envelope be left around used stamps when salvaging. The primary reason for the margin is to protect the integrity of the stamp. Any stamp that has had its perforation trimmed is not shipped, but thrown out. The secondary reason for the margin is self-adhering stamps have to be chemically treated to lift the stamp off the envelope section. Without the margin there is no way to attach the stamps to the machinery that carry them through the chemical treating process.”

READ THE BIBLE AND THEN TAKE A TEST— we are currently reading the proverbs of King Solomon, who authored most of the proverbs recorded in the Bible, and by the end of July we will have finished the five books of wisdom and poetry and will be well into the book of Isaiah, the first book of the Major Prophets. There are now 250 Bible questions and answers on our church website that cover Genesis through Psalm 89 to both challenge our Bible knowledge and help draw us into the Word and closer to the Author of our Faith. Like we see in Proverbs, God’s Wisdom is always calling to us—answer the call—it’s never too late to jump-in.

LIFE QUOTES JULY 22, 2018
“Please join us in praying for those who make, administer, and judge our laws that they may reflect the truth, love, and life of our Lord Jesus Christ in their policies and actions until the Savior returns to bring our redemption and resurrection to fulfillment in new creation and everlasting kingdom.” Rev. Michael W. Salemink, executive director of Lutherans For Life – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
STEWARDSHIP BULLETIN SENTENCES JULY 22, 2018
(Proper 11)
Ephesians 2:13 – “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” What all of mankind’s efforts, works, and scheming could not do, the blood of Christ did: we have peace with God, we are brought near to the Father. This life-giving sacrifice of Christ sets the pattern for the sacrifices we are called to make for others within our vocations in home, church, and society.
LUTHERAN HOUR JULY 22, 2018
"You Feed Them"
Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus
Every job looks like it's easy if you don't have to do it. That was certainly the case when Jesus told His disciples to feed the crowd. With no McDonald's in the area, they came back and asked Jesus to do what they couldn't. We would be wise if we did the same.
(Mark 6:37)
LUTHERAN HOUR JULY 29, 2018
"It's Not a Cruise Ship"
Guest Speaker: Rev. Timothy Teuscher
The church is not some cruise ship sailing aimlessly about in this life and merely entertaining those on board; but, rather, it is the ark, the only boat whereby, as we traverse this stormy sea of life, we are being brought safely to the other side, to eternity.
(Mark 6:45-56)
The Lutheran Hour is broadcast each Sunday at 7:30am on Stereo AM 610 KCSR.
