Pastor Caleb Bahr
Matthew 22:36-39 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And Jesus said to
him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is
the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Last month, a group from ILC went to Omaha Nebraska to attend the annual gathering of our asso-
ciation, Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). We had a wonderful time making friends
with fellow Lutherans from all around the world and learning practical steps for sharing Jesus with our
neighbors. As the church, we have problems sharing Jesus with those around us. We have been well
trained to think that sharing Jesus is the job of the pastor alone or depending on a program to do it for us.
Jesus didn’t use programs to love people, He just loved people! He didn’t do it all Himself. He sent His
disciples to do it too. He went and hung out with people. He sat down and had dinner with people. Do
you think Jesus might have been serious when He says that the greatest two commandments are to love
God and love your neighbor? Do we know better than He does how to reach people?
Jesus knows what He is doing. If we want to have His results, maybe we should pay attention to
what He did and is still doing. It not difficult. It doesn’t require programs, board meetings and paid pro-
fessionals. It just requires us to be friendly. If we want to reach our neighbors, be neighborly. Ask your
neighbors about their day and actually care about the answer. Invite them over for a BBQ or a beer. Love
people. It really is that simple.
Peace be with you,
Pastor Caleb

TRIP TO THE HOLY LAND
If this is on your bucket list you are not alone. A
few weeks ago at the Texas LCMC Gathering
Pastor Caleb Williams from New Hope Luther
Church in McDade shared information about Holy
Land Tours that he organizes. He wants as many
people possible to have this experience and of-
fers the trip at his cost. There is a photo booklet
for you to glance at on the table in the annex, and
if you want to know more about this opportunity
or how to contact Pastor Williams please talk to
Phyllis Johnson.
Please come join us on
Sat, November 30th,
to decorate the Christmas tree, hang
wreaths and put out candles in the church
sanctuary. This invitation is extended to
EVERYONE- not just our altar guild
members.
We will begin at 9:00 - coffee and donuts
will be provided. The more hands the mer-
rier and the quicker we’ll be done.
Hope to see you there...!!
OH CHRISTMAS TREE, OH CHRISTMAS TREE....

NOISY OFFERING
Here at Immanuel we get noisy every Sunday. We worship the Lord in so
many ways and one is with Noisy Offering that is collected every week
during the regular offering time. Our little members love to be part of the
service and help pass the buckets. The money collected always goes to
a cause that the kids discuss and/or relate to. In November the Noisy
offering will be used to purchased little books with the real Christmas
story that will be given to all children who attend the Live Nativity. Also
bookmarks with interesting Christmas story facts will be given to the
older kids. Your change and/or green is always appreciated.
