Whitewater Outing

Image
Whitewater Camp The cold and snow around campus have been very unpredictable lately, but recently some of our ILC students made a trek to Whitewater camp in Minnesota. They joined a group from Immanuel High School in Mankota for a fun-filled weekend in the cold. The weekend was filled with snow, friends (both old and new), warm fires, breezy hikes, beautiful music, and Christian fellowship. This year, the camp’s devotions were based on prayer. Pastors Radichel, Schaller, and Mayhew led studies on why prayer is important, communicating with God, and using fasting as a tool. Throughout their weekend, campers could hike numerous trails, play board games with friends, or sit by a warm fire. A fun activity Saturday night provided a nice flair of competition to the evening. Teams competed in Minute to Win it with challenges like keeping balloons in the air, balancing dice on a popsicle stick held in your mouth, or catching ping pong balls in cups. Prizes of candy were awarded to all. Whi...

Preparing For Advent!

Image
Singling out one chapel from the dozens we are blessed to hear at Immanuel daily might suggest the ones not chosen are somehow lacking. Nothing could be further from the truth! Daily we are enriched by the words of our faithful speakers as they share the Word of God with us. Today's chapel from Retired Pastor Walt Schaller was especially timely and could serve as an excellent way to prepare our hearts during Advent for the Christmas celebration. In this address, Pastor Schaller provides a number of specific ways we can personally prepare for Christmas . He suggests that each of us . . . Use Wednesday and the weekends services to prepare with fellow Christians. Set aside five minutes a day, four days a week—Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday—for personal "heart work". What part of God's Word will you use for your personal Advent devotions? How about using . . . your hymnals with their readings for Advent. Sunday's bulletin. The Lutheran Spokesman [Daily Rest]. the ...

It was "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"!

Image
On the weekend of College Visitors’ Day, November 15-16, the Field House was alive with songs of bankers and chimney sweeps, in the Theatre Guild’s production of Mary Poppins , directed by collegians George Carstensen and Trinity Mayhew. It was much enjoyed by both the Friday and Saturday audiences. One of the things contributing to its good reception was the apparent joy with which the cast and crew presented the musical. The costumes, once again crafted by Laila Fleischer, were dazzling and certainly added to the fun that the students displayed in their presentation. Some of the same names were found listed under both cast and crew, which suggested to this viewer that there were no prima donnas under the spotlights those nights. When some involved in the production were asked what part of the musical they liked the best, instead of picking a particular scene, one representative said that it was working together with all the different grade ...

Behind the Scenes - Formal Dinner 2024

Image
You will likely see many pictures of the just completed Formal Dinner, 2024. What you will likely not see is all that goes into preparing for the evening. The Activities Committee works for several weeks determining the theme and then planning food & drink, decorations, and entertainment. They work with Prof. Rodebaugh and his wife Becky to decide on the menu.  Although a picture doesn't really do it justice, here is the end result of this year's effort. Below are some pictures some of what it took to get things ready. Kudos to the Activities Committee, Faculty, Staff, and spouses. Many, many thanks to those who helped.
