For a few hardy prayer warriors, talking
with God is as easy as breathing; it happens
almost effortlessly. When you ask them
how they do it, they simply shrug and reply,
"I just pray."

Not all of the suggestions below will apply
to your particular situation, but if you begin
by incorporating a few of them, your prayer
life will improve.

ing as well as petition. Spend some of your
time reflecting on the Scripture, meditating
on it and digesting its meaning.
8. Keep a prayer journal. Her e ar e two
variations of this idea. The first is to keep
track of what you prayed for and when you
prayed for it. Leave a space to jot down the
answer when it comes. This will help you to
keep alert to God's answer so you can thank
Him promptly. Sometimes prayer answers
come in the back door and you don't want
them to slip by you. The second variation is
to write the entire prayer in your journal.
Make it a personal letter to the Lord on a
daily basis. Just write "Dear Lord" instead
of "Dear Diary."

Remembering April’s Article:
“The proof that God raised Jesus from the
dead is not only the empty tomb, but the full
hearts of his transformed disciples.
The crowning evidence that Jesus lives is not
only a vacant grave, but
a spirit-filled fellowship.
Not only a rolled-away stone, but
a carried-away church.”
(Adapted from writings of 20th Century St.
Clarence Jordan)

Immanuel’s Story

. . . . in Pastors’ Perspective:
Pastor Paul J. Mattson

[email protected]
God sent His only son into the world so that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9)
Doing some devotional reading the other day, I came upon this true story. I think it kind of
hits the nail on the head with regard to “living through Christ.”
Many years ago, the wives who lived within the walls of Weinberg Castle in Germany were
aware of the massive riches it held: silver, gold, jewels – wealth beyond belief.
The day came in 1141AD when all their treasure was threatened. An enemy army surrounded the castle and demanded the fortress, the fortune and the lives of the men inside the
walls.
Although the conquering commander had set a condition for the safe release of all women
and children, the wives of Weinberg refused to leave without having one of their own conditions met as well. They demanded that they be allowed to fill their arms with as many possessions as they could carry out with them. Knowing that the women couldn’t possibly
make a dent in the massive fortune, their request was honored.
When the gates of the castle were finally opened, the army outside was stunned at the sight.
Each woman had carried out her husband.
We are Christ’s possession. He alone carries us to freedom, to eternity and to the Father in
Heaven.
With you, in His grip, Pastor Paul

Greetings,
Wow! Want an amazing Holy week! We are truly blessed here at Immanuel.
Our congregation is a wonderful mix of people and talents. Because we have the luxury of
such diversity the church council would like to allow each member to share areas they
would be interested in being a part of at Immanuel. Stay tuned, as we will be asking you to
answer questions about your time and talents, and then we will enter them into our database,
so that as the needs arise we can easily connect with the people interested in that particular
activity or area.
We have now completed reading Draw the Circle and we don’t have a book to read and discuss for our homework part of the council meetings. I know that we have a congregation full
of avid readers, so I’d love for you to share some recommendations with us.
I am excited to announce that we have a new member of our congregation join the council to
fill in the open position. Welcome Brian Oren, we are excited to have you on the council
and look forward to working with you!
With all the transitions that have occurred in the last year the council thought it would be
good to update all the position titles, who is in those positions, the existing committees and
the committee members. Thank you to Brenda for putting this all together in an easy to read
format. This information has been printed out and is located in the back of the church sanctuary for your reference.
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support of our Mission
work here at Immanuel.
As always, feel free to contact me with any suggestions or concerns.
In God’s Peace,

. . . . in Prayer Shawl Ministry
A Prayer Shawl is meant to be given to anyone (male or
female including children) who has had surgery, been
diagnosed with an illness, lost a loved one or is dealing
with a hardship.
Prayers are said while the shawl is being made, that recipients may feel comfort and love as they wrap themselves in it. Shawls are available in the Fellowship Hall
in the far right hand corner on cabinet shelves. Please
be sure to check/sign the book saying to whom you are
giving a shawl because we don’t want to duplicate.
Please let me know of anyone you believe should receive one of these Prayer Shawls.
Thank you, and if any questions,
please feel free to call or email

. . . . in the Poet’s Corner
This article was presented to us by Brenda Bongs who
thought this was important for all of us to read. It was in
the Sr. Perspective Poet’s Corner in their April issue. It
was written by Jan Klug of Freeport:
“I Had A Dream”
One night I had this vivid dream,
to me it seemed so very real.
I only had to close my eyes
all of His suffering I’d feel.
So, briefly close your tired eyes,
go on this sacred trip with me.
Put your varied feet in my shoes, as you walk,
feel and sense and see.
The night was cold and deeply dark,
dense fog hung heavy in the air
My Jesus walked the path alone, but wait,
not alone - I was there!

Back (left to right): Hannah Pakarinen, Chase Hage, Jay Hunter, Dennis Welch,
Johnathan Hodges, Gracesen Klein and Ben Gujer.
Not pictured: Mason Miller, Noah Larson
My Lord held my hand in His,
although not a word was said.
He held my hand with such a grip,
like I was suffering instead.
First Communion, March 2015
I knelt with Him in the garden,
where there, by Himself, He prayed.
I knelt with Him in the garden,
where there, by Himself, He stayed.
We knelt by that big, sharp rock,
our knees were wet, and so cold.
I heard His prayer for mercy,
felt His stress and pain unfold.
Then, when His hear-wrenching words
had been uttered in sheer pain,
I knew I was the poor soul
who had everything to gain.
I gasped with such a shudder,
that sent a spine-tingling chill.
Jesus was doing this all,
His father’s will to fulfill.

Johnathan Hodges. Not pictured: Hannah Blood, Holly Seely, Brandi Moran
With quietness around us, hushed,
Jesus got up to stand.
Then, still not a word spoken,
He, once again, took my hand.
We slowly walked farther on, there
His disciples slept. I thought, Oh!
You faithless friends,
with inward anguish, I wept.
For thirty pieces of silver,
and a kiss on my Jesus’ head,
away to His fateful doom,
my humble Savior was led.
A noisy crowd had gathered,
many kept taunting my Lord.
But in His simple manner,
He deftly dismissed the sword.
They yelled and they laughed,
they mocked and they jeered.
Still holding my hand,
at my Jesus they leered.
We walked on, ever drearily,
up that treacherous hill.
Though so hard He bled and stumbled,
He held tightly unto me still.
Our eyes met only one time, as
we walked up the barren hill.
To this very present day,
I see the grief in them still.
Harsh yelling grew much louder.
His loving arm was yet strong;
and His grip grew much tighter,
as the two of us trudged along.
Deep red blood from His open wounds,
thundered loud, hitting the hard ground.
Yet His beaten, wretched body,
did not make a whimpering sound.
They took my Jesus from me,
to do Him more bodily harm.
Yet I felt His strong grip hold me,
in the crook of His living arm.
The sixth hour it grew deathly dark.
In the ninth hour, Jesus cried out,
“God, why have you forsaken me?”
from the crowd, not a sound or shout.
Louder thunder cracked the crusted earth,
gale winds swept the darkened skies.
Gloom and death reared their ugly face.
He wiped the tears from my eyes.
My dream is gone, but was so real.
This you must definitely know,
never once in all His suffering,
did my dear Savior let me go.

. . . . in Children’s Ministry
I am still in need of volunteers to help in the
nursery during the 10:30 worship only. The
church has hired nursery staff, but also has a
policy in place requiring an additional person
(over the age of 21) to be present in the nursery in case of emergencies. My goal is to have
enough volunteers so everyone can take 2
turns each year.
Meal with a Mission
The next Meal with a Mission will be held on
May 17th. This meal will benefit the technology needs at Immanuel (computers, cameras,
projection equipment, lighting equipment,
etc.) All of these technology items help to
make our worship experiences more enjoyable
and help everyone to see what is going on during worship.
As this school year comes to an end, I would like to take an opportunity to thank those who help out with Sunday
school here at Immanuel. Thank you to teachers, Donna Radinovich, Pat Rinde, Brandon Radinovich, and Jillian
Rinde. Also, thank you to our regular helpers, Jim Radinovich and Jessica Klopfleisch. I would also like to thank
my family, Jon, Ean and Jay Hunter, for supporting me in my role as Children’s Ministry Coordinator. Lastly,
thank you congregation, parents, grandparents and Kinship Partners, for making kids a priority at church. Our
faith family and our community are blessed to have you all.
The number of students present at Sunday school this year was steady and strong at about 25-30 kids, ages 3 – 12.
Over 20 students were either presented with Bibles or received their first communion last month! What a blessing
that is!!! We should all be so proud of what is happening with our youngest members – they are being reached!

Sharing Responsibility Teams
Sharing responsibilities team #2 will serve
coffee during the month of May. Please refer
to the enclosed worship schedule to see if you
are assigned to serve. Also, please note that
you do not need to bring treats when serving
coffee. Immanuel provides the treats for fellowship.
The month of May will begin with Graduate
Recognition on May 3 at 10:00 and Immanuel
will also host the Ecumenical Worship Service
for Graduating Seniors (Baccalaureate) that
same evening. Fellowship and coffee will be
served at Immanuel immediately following the
7:00pm worship service. There is a need for a
minimum of 5 volunteers to host this fellowship time for the gr aduates and their families. Please note: treats will be provided by the
Ministerial Association. I will also need 2 or 3
fellowship servers to help host the Hallett
Cottages Birthday Party on May 11th at
1:00pm. Additionally, 2 or 3 fellowship servers to help host the Hear twood Bir thday
Party on May 14th at 2:00. (Treats will be provided at both Hallett Cottages and Heartwood—they just need our help to serve and
visit with residents!)
If you would like to bake/provide treats, please
contact me so I can adjust my bakery order.
Homemade treats are always welcome and enjoyed by all!
If you have a heart for hospitality, contact me
to find out how you can be more involved in
your Sharing Responsibility Team (or SRT as
they are often called.) I am still in need of captains/leaders to step into roles vacated by retirements.
Blessings and Peace,

Jill Mattson and I hosted our first Lunch Bunch at the high school on March 25th. Ten students met with us during
their lunch break. We had several Immanuel kids attend, as well as a few of their friends. We hope to host another
one before the school year is over. We also had two of our Immanuel kids, Bria and Austin Davis, volunteer their
time at the New Pathways Spring Banquet on April 11th in Brainerd. A big thank you to them, along with three of
their friends, for helping out at the luncheon. The next big event the CREW scheduled was a Meal with a Mission
scheduled on April 26th. A delicious pancake breakfast was served after both services. Thank you for all those
who joined us to help raise funds for their mission trip in 2016. We also have some CREW members willing to do
spring cleaning to raise funds for their trip. You can contact me at 218-838-9675 if you have are interested.
Thank you for supporting our CREW members.

. . . . in Malawi Mission
Planning and organization continue for the first ever Manna For Malawi Music Festival. Take that space on your calendar right away. Sunday, June 28 from 4-7p at the Woodtick Inn in downtown Cuyuna. Proceeds from the event will
go directly toward the feeding program and it seems, just in the nick of time. The following came from the Malawi
Mission Administrator Shadrek Chikoti in an email he sent to Malwi Orphan Care Project vice-president Joy Jones:
There will be hunger in most parts of Malawi this year. The price of maize has already gone up and we expect it to
skyrocket in the coming months.
There will be a need, in the coming months, especially October, through to February of next year, to provide at least a
few kilograms of maize or flour to the volunteers and guardians of the children. The feeding program is also expected
to have an increase in the number of children (mostly non-registered).
Shadrek added that while much of Malawi experienced flooding, the area near the orphan project did not. Inadequate
rainfall came too late and didn't last long enough. He expects costs for feeding program supplies to go up and when he
knows how much, he'll pass it on.
Thanks for your help, and your prayers.
