NATIONAL LUTHERAN SCHOOLS' WEEK is being observed this week.  Please continue to keep our students, faculty, and staff in your prayers.

 

OPEN HOUSE:  White Creek Lutheran School will hold its annual Open House this Friday, February 1, from 8:30 AM-2:30 PM.  Interested persons are invited to sit in on classes during the course of the day.  Teachers will be available to answer questions in between instruction times.

 

POSITION AVAILABLE:  White Creek Lutheran School is beginning its search for a second grade teacher for the 2013-2014 school year.  Interested individuals may contact the school at beckelman@whitecreek.org to obtain the application form.  All applications/resumes must be received by Wednesday, February 6.

 

SCHOLARSHIP BRUNCH:  Our school will be sponsoring a brunch after church and continuing after Sunday School and Bible Class on Sunday, February 10.  The menu will include breakfast casseroles, breakfast sausage, sweet breads, fruit, and drinks.  A free-will offering will be received, with all proceeds going to our scholarship fund, which offers assistance to those families who do not receive any tuition support from their congregation.

 

ST. JOHN'S FOUNDATION has agreed to fund $2,203.80 to match the Eli Lilly grant for Pastor Cook's education loan, $4,000 for the school heating/AC repair, and $3,830 to install air-conditioning in the school kitchen.

 

THANK YOU NOTES have been received from Pastor Arthur Rickman & Family for the $150 gift from our congregation to help support the Lord's work in the Dominican Republic and from Dan May on behalf of the Indiana District for our support of the ministries of the Indiana District and LCMS.  These notes have been posted on the bulletin board in the front school hall.

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO Travis & Cara Eckelman on the birth of their daughter, KYLIN RAE, on Friday, January 18.  Kylin arrived weighing 6 lbs. 9 ozs. and measuring 20 inches.  Everyone is doing fine - God's blessings to them!

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO James & Shel Rockhill on the birth of their daughter, HATTIE JO, on Saturday, January 19.  Hattie arrived weighing 8 lbs. and measuring 19 1/2 inches.  They are all also doing fine, and God's blessings to all of them!

 

CAMP LAKEVIEW:  It's time to start thinking about summer camp!  On February 1, Camp Lakeview will begin registering campers (grades K-12) for its 2013 summer season.  Don't let your children miss the adventure, joy, and wonder that a week at a Christian camp can bring.  To get more information, pick up a summer brochure in the narthex, visit the camp's website at www.camplakeview.com, or call the camp office at 812-342-4815.  Registrations must be postmarked on or after February 1 (this Friday).  No phone reservations will be accepted until two weeks after registration opens, so the best way to register is to get the form ready and mail it on February 1.  See you at camp!

 

TLHS invites students and their families to its final open house on Sunday, February 10, from 2:00-4:00 PM.  All eighth grade students will be entered in a drawing to win a Trinity t-shirt.  Interested eighth grade students will also receive a $75 voucher that covers half of the registration costs at Trinity for the 2013-2014 school year.  Please enter through the commons.
