MANY THANKS TO those who
supported the Aluminum Can Drive last weekend.
THE WOODEN CROSS in the school
front entrance is the original cross that stood above the school’s 1955 bell
tower. It has been refurbished, and Luther’s seal
has been added to its center. It is such a
blessing to have this cross back as a reminder of God’s faithfulness!

STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Matthew 18:4
“Whoever humbles
himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” What does it mean to have childlike
faith? Certainly Jesus does not want us
to have a faith that is childish: we
are not called to ignorance or silliness.
Rather, we are called to trust the way a child trusts: with complete
confidence in the Father. We show that
confidence in our lives when we follow His directives for our life: Father
knows best, so we’ll take His advice!
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
