Chapel: Pastor Mueller read passages from Acts 2, Titus 3, and Matthew 28 about Baptism. The water of Baptism is ordinary water – until God’s authoritative Word makes that water able to cleanse us of our sins. As Martin Luther wrote in the Small Catechism, “It works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.” We were delighted to witness the Baptisms of Addie and Kinsley Maurice during chapel. Through Baptism, God declares, “You belong to me!”
Verse to remember: “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior…”: Titus 3:4-6

Candy- With all the extra candy floating around at this time of year, please remind your child that it should not be brought to school. Students are not allowed to have candy for lunch or snack.
The 3rd-5th grade choir will sing during the late service at Hope on November 2. Students should meet Mrs. Schkade in the Luther Room by 10:15 to warm up. Students will sit in the sanctuary with their families and be called up to the front of church when it’s time to sing. Parents, please email Mrs. Schkade and/or your child’s homeroom teacher if your child has other church or family commitments that prevent him or her from attending.
Jackets/coats- Cooler temperatures have arrived. Please remind your child to bring a jacket or coat. When temperatures are below 50, a jacket is required for outdoor recess. Thank you.
