How Much Snow?!

Posted: March 24, 2026 image

After a week of true Northern Michigan winter, where communities saw several inches of snow accumulation, fierce winds, and drifts reaching multiple feet high, one story coming out of our synod was nothing short of inspiring!  

Immanuel Lutheran of Suttons Bay’s youth and friends spent three hours in a snow removal party tackling 24 inches of snow and drifts up to 5 feet. Not only did they dig out their own church, but they also showed up for their neighbors!

We are so proud of these incredible young people. They are the embodiment of community! Thank you for showing up, pitching in, and caring for one another (even when it’s knee-deep in snow!).

Way to go, friends! ☀️
