WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You have commanded us to instruct our children in Your ways. We give You thanks this day for all fathers, mothers, grandparents, guardians, and the teachers of our school who joyfully accept this task and pass the truth on to the next generation of the faithful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
TODAY’S ALTAR FLOWERS are given in thanksgiving and celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary of Lester & Marsha Otte TODAY by their children and grandchildren. May God grant you many more happy years together, Lester & Marsha!
WE WISH GOD’S BLESSINGS TO Mr. James (Jay) Noelker as he is installed this morning as teacher at our White Creek Lutheran School and to our faculty and staff as they are dedicated to service also this morning.
