What's a Miniclass, Anyway?

Image
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...

Immanuel Digital Archives

​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 Outing

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...
