Great start!

We had a great start to the year this week, good participation in both classes. Don't forget that by showing up with all your materials and being prepared we will have a great class every time. God's blessings to each of you as you study and prepare for next week. Have a great weekend.

ILS Test

The test that was scheduled for Thursday this week (8-26) was rescheduled because of the assembly on Thursday. The test will be on Monday...don't forget! See you sunday.

Sermon Applications

Several people have asked questions about the sermon application forms. In particular you have asked what it wants when it asks about place and text. Place is simply asking where you went to church that Sunday, and the "text" is asking you what scripture passage the pastor was using for the sermon he preached. Keep the questions coming. Have a great day.

Parent and Student Covenants

Parents and students please make sure to get the covenant forms turned in this week. Thank you.

Memory Work

Memory work officially starts this week. The work changes from week to week and you can see the specifics on the assignment page. This weeks memory work says "Genesis and OT BoB" - the OT BoB is described in the previous post. Genesis of course refers to the book of Genesis. The student is allowed to choose two highlighted sections of their Faith Alive Bible, from the book of Genesis to memorize this week. So for example if Genesis 1:1-2 is highlighted then they memorize Genesis 1:1-2. Please note that they whatever section they choose, they memorize the whole selection not simply a small part. If the student chooses a long portion to memorize they can choose that one to do only, rather than two smaller sections. The goal is to have roughly 4-5 verses total. Call the church office with questions.

OT BoB?

1st Year assignment page says OT BoB - what is Bob besides Pastor Tiners most despised nickname? It means Old Testament Books of the Bible. So then when you see NT BoB - New Testament books of the Bible. Hope that helps.

Orientation

Great to see so many parents and students last night at the orientation. If you missed the orientation, you'll need to make sure and come by the church office and pick up a packet for your class and set up a time to go over the packet with the pastor for your particular class. Both parents and student will need to meet with the pastor. Looking forward to seeing you in class.

Orientation clarification.

Clarification on who needs to attend the orientation.
If you are going to be Confirmed here at Immanuel, you need to be at the orientation. If you are a student at ILS but are going to be confirmed at your home congregation, then you are not required to attend, but it is still a good idea so that you will know what is expected in the class this coming year.
Hope that helps.
