Faith, Facts, and Love
We know many of you are eager for life to return to “normal,” including our worship life together.  However, we are taking the slow, prepared approach to public gatherings, erring on the side of caution for the sake of the most vulnerable.  But rest assured, we are developing plans for exciting Word and Sacrament ministry coming as soon as we feel it’s wise to do so. Stay tuned – and enjoy the radio and YouTube in the meantime!

Prayer Concerns
Did you know that we still publish a bulletin each week, including prayer concerns?  You can find bulletins with readings and prayer concerns at: https://www.wadenaimmanuel.org/bulletin

Youth Led Radio Broadcast June 21
Our radio broadcast on June 21 will be let by 20 of Immanuel’s youth.  Prayers, hymns, special music, scripture reading, and more!  You won’t want to miss it!

Need Masks?
As our life gradually begins to open up, wearing a mask while out in public is a great way to serve your neighbor.  Pam Nelson has put some masks she’s sewn up at church in both adult and youth sizes.  Stop by the church (the building is open 8:30am-7pm) and pick up what you need.  Thanks, Pam!

A Treasure Greater Than Heaven and Earth!

Last week, we started this journey through the catechisms’ (Large and Small) thoughts on baptism.   And we remembered that baptism might seem like a human act – but is really God’s action. Today, we forge ahead with more.   After hearing such wonderful news about God’s action in baptism, about the benefits we receive, including forgiveness and the promise of everlasting life, our next thought might be that of skepticism.   So the Small Catechism leads us to ask, “How can water do such great things?”   The answer: “It is not the water that does these things, but God’s Word with the water and our trust in this Word.   Water by itself is only water, but with the Word of God it is a life-giving water which by grace gives the new birth through the Holy Spirit.” In the Large Catechism, Luther says even more on this topic: “Yes, my friend! Who does not know that water is water, … But how dare you tamper thus with God’s ordinance and rip out his most precious jewel?...

Forgive ... Forgiven

Today, we finish our brief series on forgiveness from the Large Catechism.   And our focus today is the practical application of forgiveness. There are two important parts of forgiveness.   One is the forgiveness we receive from God.   The other is the forgiveness we receive from our neighbors.   And both are essential to our faith and life in the community.   When people come to me with a guilty conscience, I ask them if they would like a word of absolution.   Sometimes, though, I can see that before they are forgiven by God, they need to seek forgiveness from their spouse, child, parent, neighbor, or friend.   Other times, they have been forgiven by the person they’ve wronged, but they cannot forgive themselves.   Other times, still, they have offered the sincerest apology they can and have not been forgiven.   And a strong word of forgiveness from God is needed – and we pray that the one they have wronged will forgive them in time.

Who is Worthy to Receive Communion?!!

Today is our third week on the Lord’s Supper/Communion.   So far, we have discovered that this is God’s meal, not the result of human actions or work.   Also, we discussed last week the importance of our faith that the bread and wine actually become Christ’s body and blood. Today, we focus on the question of who is worthy to receive the gifts of communion.   This is a topic of special interest to Luther.   He is especially interested in the idea that one could be too sinful to receive this gift.   For Luther, it is easy to look at your sins and shortcomings and decide you are not worthy to receive such a gift.   God’s goodness contrasts so sharply with our sinfulness, “then because of this, such people will not go to the sacrament and wait until they are prepared, until one week passes into another and one half-year into yet another.   If you choose to fix your eye on how good and pure you are, to wait until nothing torments you, you will never go” (...
