Families at Immanuel Lutheran received great news during the annual “State of the Church and School Address” presented at Immanuel this past week. Families in attendance heard firsthand that the annual tuition will not increase for the 2010-2011 school year!

“After a difficult economic year in 2009, we are pleased to be able to offer families some relief with tuition payments,” says Mr. Nick Hopfensperger, principal at Immanuel Lutheran School. “We expect that it will be a help to our current families as well as to those families who may be considering a Christian education for their children.”

Registration for the 2010-2011 school year will be held during the week of January 19th.  Parents should stop by the school office any day during that week between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm to register their child(ren).  If you are unable to stop by the school during the school day, you may also register during the evening on January 21st, anytime between 6:00 and 7:30 pm. 

All interested parents should plan to register!  If you know of a family with young children, please share this information with them! For more information, contact the school office.

Immanuel's annual Choral Vespers worship service will be held on Wednesday, December 16th, beginning at 7:00 pm. All students will be participating in the service in recitations, singing songs, and sharing their musical talents.

This year’s program is based on the great hymn “Savior of the Nations, Come,” which unpacks the miracle of the two natures of Christ (human and God). As the hymn focuses on the two natures of Christ, it also rejoices that the God-man has come to be the Savior of the Nations. He comes this advent season for all nations of the world to reveal Himself as the long-expected Jesus.
