July 06, 2026
July 6-9, 2026, Monday - Thursday, 9 a.m. - noon
Rainforest Falls and River of Life
This year, we are journeying through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms. All of creation relies on water to live. But water is much more than a resource. For people of faith, water is a powerful symbol, with significance as deep as the natural stores that cover the globe. In “River of Life,” participants will learn about the importance of water and visit important “ports” during the week to hear Bible stories about water. They will also hear about communities working to restore watersheds, to protect rights to water and to ensure safe water for everyone.
What is Vacation Bible School?
- Vacation Bible School, a summer ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Church, is an opportunity for members to invite friends and relatives and neighbors to join us for a fun, energetic, purpose-filled Christian experience.
- Donations are accepted so we can give scholarships to families in need and to subsidize the cost of this ministry.
- After care available by registration- $35/child/day
- Contact: grace@immanuel.us with questions.

PROP Summer Food Program
June 01, 2023
PROP Summer Food for Kids Program
During the summer, when children do not receive free lunch at school, our local food shelf, PROP, provides additional food to their families. Families often have difficulty securing enough food in the summer months. Last summer the program fed more than 800 school age kids healthy and nutritious food! PROP is a valuable partner of Immanuel's and we have supported the Summer Food for Kids drive for many years. In recent years we have collected cans of tuna fish with much generosity and success! This year, however, PROP has asked that we consider raising $1000 in financial donations. Food shelves can purchase food in bulk at discounted prices at places like Second Harvest Heartland where donating $1 has the potential of buying 3 meals! Consider giving generously to PROP Summer Food for Kids by clicking HERE. Checks will also be accepted (memo: PROP Summer Food). Donation deadline is July 31st.
