It's not rocket science . . . or is it?


This is the first of what we hope to be a continuing series to highlight some of the alumni of Immanuel.

The young lady near the front middle surrounded by three monitors is Emily Marzofka, a 2014 graduate of Immanuel Lutheran High School. She is part of the Launch Integration Team for the Space Vehicle to the Firefly Alpha rocket which launched this morning. Here you can see her in the control room the morning of the launch. Way to go, Emily, a true rocket scientist!

We encourage you to share information on other graduates of Immanuel in various fields. We think it's rewarding to see how the Lord has used these young Christians, sending them on to a variety of professional occupations and giving them an  opportunity to share their faith. The body of Christ is made up of many parts; all are equally important. Please send suggestions (and links) to ross.roehl@ilc.edu.

What Does Tour Mean To You?

Image
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...

Musical Journey #1

Image
Prof. Schaller here. Interesting things can happen on the weekends at Immanuel. This past Saturday night I was participating in the Dunn County Northern Lights Chorus Annual Barbershop Show. I talked with college junior Joel Bernthal about the event and it went something like this:   Me:   Joel, do you want to go to a barbershop show tonight? Joel:   Alright. So we went. The first half of the show featured the chorus that I sing in doing songs about the old west:  Home on the Range, Don't Fence Me In,  etc. The second half of the program featured two professional barbershop quartets from Minnesota, Kordal Kombat and Tonality. After the show Joel and I went to the "afterglow" at the Whitetail Golf Course in Colfax. An afterglow is the barbershop equivalent of a cast party. Anyone is invited and there's food and drink and lots of singing until the building closes. The cool thing about the afterglow is that you get to rub shoulders with the guest artists. Before th...

The Banquet & After Banquet

Image
The annual spring Banquet continues to be a exciting event for Immanuel students who either bring a date or attend with their friends. Back several years ago the parents decided to create a fun, entertaining After Banquet atmosphere for the students. The amount of work the parents go through is totally unbelievable! From finding a theme, creating decorations, getting suitable playlists, finding an emcee(s), rounding up gift prizes for students, and hosting fun games for the students to play that night, the number of hours spent is in the hundreds! This year's theme was "game shows" and thanks to the Game Show Network, most of the students recognized the games. It would not be surprising if next year's theme is already decided on.  Several albums have been shared by David & Nicole Lang and Marcy & Nate Gurgel. I'm hoping you are able to access these excellent photos and get a taste for an After Banquet Party. Album #1            Album...
