Online Giving Now Available
We are happy to announce that we now offer the ability to conveniently give via online giving through "easyTithe."
Simply use the Immanuel Lutheran app for your smart phone (the giving tab is currently available for android and kindle devices, apple devices will have this availability soon), or go to www.ourgodwithus.com and click on the "Let's Give" tile (You can also click on the "easyTithe" button above).
Once on the giving page, you can do one of two things:
1.) You can set up an account for you to be able to track your giving and print a giving report. This will also allow you to set up recurring giving if you would like to do that.
2.) You can click on quick give if you would like to send a one time gift without signing up.
We will make sure that your gift is applied to your giving records in the church, so no need to worry about if this gift will be applied to our records. It will be.
Each week we will print and seal an envelope of that weeks gifts. We will place that envelope in the offering basket for presentation in the worship service to give God thanks for His gifts to us. These "online" gifts will then be added to the weakly giving in the plate.
We hope that this is a helpful resource to aid in your life of stewardship.
Call Extended to Mr. Dan Green
Immanuel has extended a call to Mr. Dan Green to be Educational Administrator of Immanuel's education centers.
Dan is in his 27th year of ministry and has been serving as principal at St. Paul’s Lutheran in Chicago Heights since 2009. He has previously served schools in Muskegon, MI; Addison, IL; and Lombard, IL. In addition to regular classroom duties he has coached and served as Athletic Director at these schools. Dan is a 1988 graduate of Concordia University-River Forest, IL and has earned a Master of Education degree from the University of Phoenix in 2009. He has also gone through the School Leadership Development (SLeD) program sponsored by the School Department of LCMS.
Dan’s wife, Sue, is employed by the Lutheran Church Extension Fund and works out of the Northern Illinois District office. They have two grown sons.
Dan writes about himself “The mission of the church is to ‘make disciples of all nations.’ In order to do this, the church must equip its members to carry out this task.” He sees himself as helping to facilitate this disciple-building.
Dan has received the training in the Ambassadors of Reconciliation provided by LCMS and is part of the district team to provide reconciliation when called upon in the district.
