Behind the Scenes - Formal Dinner 2024

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.

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...
