What's Happening at Immanuel?

This year's Tour Choir members were asked to share what Tour means to them, and, although we can't fit all the responses here, they all had a similar tone. Some thoughts may remind you of your time in the Tour Choir. Feel free to share your thoughts. "Tour Choir is such a blessing. It is one of my favorite things I've done at Immanuel and is something I love looking forward too. I have made so many memories and I look forward to this as a trip of Christian fellowship and to help grow in my faith while worshipping with others. It is so special to be able to share the Word of God in such a way, and seeing how incredibly special this is to the congregations we visit." "Tour choir is an opportunity to personally grow in my faith as well as ministering to those who are in fellowship with us that we don't often get to see. Not only is it spiritually uplifting, but it is incredibly fun." "Tour Choir is easily the most meaningful experience I've had...

Almost thirty years ago, the Faculty of Immanuel and Prof. Ron Roehl in particular, found a way to give the students a break from the long Wisconsin winters by developing what has become known as Miniclasses. Rather than the regular curriculum, the students are treated to a unique variety of amazing classes to help students learn about things that don't normally cross a high school student's mind. This year they were treated (sometimes literally, think food) to things like . . . electrical wiring, soldering pies, stir fry, baking, pizza, cake decorating What Does Food Have To Do With It? ice fishing origami fish, wood burning altering clothes, clothing design golf simulator cricut crafting device, scrapbooking, crafting with Jessi, card stamping, diamond painting disc golf board games (dominoes, Rummikub, Snake Oil, Spot It, Cash Flow, chess, Nuns on the Run) Crash Course on the Female System (no guys signed up for this one, hmmm?) soccer, flag football, floorball, badminton, N...

It was a good week for the Seniors. See previous post. One of the things Mel did to make daily puzzles for the students. Could you have gotten these answers?  

​Tom Beekman, Immanuel alumnus among many other roles at Immanuel, Messiah Eau Claire, and the CLC at large, has recently created a digital archive of Immanuel   Flash  editions. Those digital copies, among others like the  Lance  and the   Beacon,  are available to share. If you are interested in viewing the   Immanuel Archives   shared folder, contact Ross Roehl at ross.roehl@ilc.edu . Once in the shared Google Drive, Tom has created spreadsheet indexes for the  Flash  and the  Beacon . Those indexes  identify some missing copies  that Tom would like to include. If you have any of those missing editions, please let Tom know at  thomasbeekman1961@gmail.com . Until you are able to access the shared drive, you won't be able to help with missing copies

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...

 It may seem early, but our Food Service Manager Melanie Sydow, likes to recognize each year's Senior class midwinter to avoid the end of the year rush. It's part of her working hard to make the students existence here on campus as enjoyable as possible. See her description below. "Watch for it- students - coming in Feb (exact week will be announced soon) is Senior Appreciation Week in the dining hall.  This is when we take some time out to recognize the senior class and who they are! Seniors will choose their top 5 lunch meals for the week and will receive some “perks” with their meal.  Parents - please help us out by responding to the email with fun facts about your high school senior.   Students you can all join in the fun by playing the daily game about the senior class. See how well you know the seniors!  There will be a daily prize for each game! Try it out and have fun learning more about the seniors!"
