Chapel: Pastor Mueller led us in chapel today, as it’s an important day in the church year. Ash Wednesday begins our countdown to Easter in 40 days (excluding Sundays). Ash Wednesday is all about remembering from where we came; God breathed life into the dust of the earth and created Adam. After the fall of sin, the earth was cursed, and we were in need of a savior. We all had the option to receive the sign of the cross on our foreheads or hands from palm ashes during the service. Isaiah 2 reminds us that our dirty sin will be white as snow because we have been made clean by Jesus’ sacrifice as He overcame sin, death, and the power of the devil!
Grandparents Day: We look forward to sharing presentations, food, and crafts with our grandparents on March 14. The Scholastic Book Fair will be open, too! We will have an early dismissal that day.
Church Service 3/9: 3rd-7th Grade choir are to meet in the Luther Room at 10:15 to practice before the service begins at 10:30.
Book Fair: Students who wish to purchase their own books will have an opportunity to shop at the fair. They can bring their money on Monday, March 10, and will have a scheduled time that week to visit the fair with their class.
MOVING OUT: Following Grandparents Day, we will be moving things out of the classrooms to get ready for new carpet! Please come help to move the things in the fifth grade classroom to one side, as the carpet will be started one day, the stuff will get moved to the other side, and then it will be finished the following day. We start moving things at 12pm!
Mite Boxes Please save your loose change and help to fill your child’s mite box, which will be given as a special offering on Wednesday, March 26th. Please allow your child to participate in this mission project. Thank you!
Verse to Remember: Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:though your sins are like scarlet,they shall be as white as snow;though they are red like crimson,they shall become like wool. Isaiah 2:18
