This week’s chapel was led by Pastor Grams from the LCMS KS District office. He read from Matthew 9 about Jesus teaching, proclaiming forgiveness, and healing because he had compassion for the crowds. Pastor spoke about our various vocations. We serve God and others by being a son or daughter, sibling, student, teacher, parent, etc. There are also specific church work vocations that are available for kids to consider as they ponder their jobs for the future. Church work positions can include teaching, being a pastor, church music ministry, directors of family life ministry or Christian education, missionaries, and church camp directors.
“And [Jesus] said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2

Several students and teachers have recently been out sick or are coming to school with runny noses, coughs, and sneezes. Please remind your child to be diligent about drinking water, washing hands, coughing into the sleeve, and giving personal space. Also, please monitor sleep and exercise habits to build up immunity.
We’re having a food drive! Collected items will be donated to Shawnee Community Services. Please send canned fruits and veggies, rice, pasta, peanut butter, etc. from October 11-18.
