BECOME A PRAYER PARTNER FOR AN

IMMANUEL CONFIRMAND

Confirmation classes for Immanuel’s sixth

through eighth grade students begin after Labor

Day. In an effort to support our students, we

would like to assign each eighth grader a Prayer

Partner, who will encourage and pray for him or

her throughout this final year of confirmation

instruction.

The goals of the Prayer Partner program are to

build relationships between confirmands and

other adults in the congregation and reinforce

the importance and power of prayer in the lives

of believers of all ages. We further hope to en-

courage and support students during their con-

firmation journey and help them remain con-

nected to and active in the church beyond

Confirmation Sunday

As a Prayer Partner you will pray regularly for

your student and send him or her a letter each

month or a card of encouragement for his or her

faith journey. In addition, you will send a special

card or letter on your confirmands’s birthday

and baptism birthday. Finally, if possible, attend

Immanuel’s confirmation service on Sat., May. 9,

2020 at 5:30 PM. Confirmands will be encour-

aged to write back to their Prayer Partners with

specific prayer requests, God-sightings, and in-

formation about how they are doing.

Any confirmed adult can be a prayer partner—

including siblings, grandparents, etc. Complete

and return the Prayer Partner to the church of-

fice by Mon., Aug. 12 or contact Erica Ciro: cell

630 251 6761 or eciro65@gmail.com. Forms are

available in the church lobby and on the blue

table outside the church office.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

Jesus said, “This is my commandment, that you

love one another as I have loved you.” Loving

and caring for one another is not just the

Pastor’s job, it’s something Jesus commands all

of us to do! Each Christian is called by name to

provide the love that God has so freely given us.

Stephen Ministry answers the call in an

organized and confidential manner, bringing

Jesus’ love and care to those who most need it.

For more information, contact our Stephen

Leader, Sue Marvel at 630 844 6562.

nated!
