WELCOME ! MEET AND GREET NIGHT Immanuel Lutheran School March 19 and 20, 2015

MR. PALKEWICK PRINCIPAL Opening prayer Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for bringing us here safely this evening as we gather to hear about the next year at Immanuel. We thank you for a wonderful group of teachers and supportive church members who have helped Immanuel Lutheran School provide a caring, Christian education for over 130 years. We ask that you continue to provide all of our families an opportunity to be in a school in which we can freely share your love while receiving a quality education. Please be with us as we move into the next school year and beyond. -AMEN
