THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISM

Which are these words and promises of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." [Mark 16:16]

You may support your favorite classroom by putting pennies in their container or putting larger denominations in the other classroom containers. Each penny counts as a +1 point. Other coins count as follows: nickel -5, dime -12, quarter -40, half dollar -90, dollar -200. The classroom with the highest number of points will be declared the winner.

It’s time to celebrate Lutheran Schools Week once again, March 7 - 13. What a blessing for all of you to be able to learn more about God’s love through Christ for each of the students, faculty, and parents through this outreach. We’re happy to be a part of this celebration.

Look for our LCEF KIDS display table on the 8th of March. Any questions? We’ll be happy to explain this savings plan called KIDS (Kids Into Discipleship and Stewardship). This plan allows children to participate in building schools and churches for Jesus.
