What a Weekend!


This past weekend, the ILC Theatre Guild presented its fall musical, Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Due to some issues beyond their control, directors Trinity Mayhew and George Carstensen had a shorter amount of time than usual to put together the production. However, through hard work and (lots of) practice, the musical came together wonderfully and was a real treat to watch.

One of the challenging aspects of this particular musical is its large cast, which involved 34 students as actors and actresses. Beyond that, however, we also had many students working behind the scenes on make-up, lighting, sound, and set construction and painting. It is truly amazing that a smaller school such as ours can put on such a large production and do it so well! That we are able to do so speaks very highly of the God-given talent dedication of our students.

In addition to the superb acting and singing that we witnessed this weekend, we were also treated to spectacular costumes, courtesy of Laila Fleischer. Further talent was on display in the pep band performance on Friday night and during the student performances on Saturday night. We were pleasantly surprised by our attendance on Friday night, which was much larger than usual. Approximately 350 people attended (attendance Saturday was around 100)! For those who were not able to attend in person, we are able to make the video of the performance available for personal at-home, non-commercial use.

Signs of Spring on Campus?

Flowers blooming? Trees blossoming? Grass greening? Signs of spring, yes, but on the Immanuel campus, there are some unique yet familiar to former students, signs of spring besides what the Lord has created for us in nature. 🌺 TRACK:  Coaches Steve Sydow and Eve Naumann and assistants begin working with this year's group of track athletes. The pleasant weather means they may get out sooner than usual. Practice begins Monday, March 4. 🌳  SOFTBALL/BASEBALL:  The unseasonably mild weather may also allow softball coaches Lillo and Tiefel and baseball coaches Lau and Roehl to get their teams outside earlier than usual and participate in their full schedule of  practices and  games. Softball begins practice on March 11 with baseball beginning a week later on March 18. 🌼  SPRING PLAY:  Tryouts have been held and the cast chosen for the play to be presented on Visitors' Day,  April 26th and 27th.  Directors George Carstensen and Trinity Mayhe...

Senior Class Trip 2024

Image
The senior class trip was a success yesterday! The Lord blessed us with amazing weather, safe travels and a lot of fun fellowship.  We spent a couple hours at Sky Zone in the morning, then ate lunch downtown St. Paul at an Italian restaurant called  Cossetta . We spent the afternoon at the beach at Homestead Parklands County Park near Hudson and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for supper. Finally we drove to downtown Hudson for ice cream at Knoke's , then took a walk along the riverfront as the sun set. Many thanks to Christian & Kea Goodman, Morgan Lone, and April Sydow for chaperoning, driving, and for bringing food & games for the trip! Also, thank you, seniors, for letting your light shine everywhere you went. I really appreciated how you conducted yourself in a positive, helpful, trustworthy, and patient way throughout the day!  Here is a link to pictures from the day.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ Djp3WQJmLZ4CT69U8   In Christ, Prof. G...
