A New Year’s Reminder
Welcome
back to school! It is truly a blessing to have a few days off from the routine
of school, just as it is when you have a few days away your place of work. I
hope you had some time to relax and enjoy some family time, maybe to do
something out of the routine, something special.
It
is truly a blessing to come back to school, too. I heard on the radio and
television announcements similar to this, “Sorry, kids, it’s time to head back
to school.” As if that is something bad. On the contrary, learning should be a
life-long activity.
Through
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, King Solomon set a purpose and a theme for
the book of Proverbs when he wrote that these proverbs would be good “for
attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight, for
acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and
fair; for giving prudence to the simple and discretion to the young;… The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and
discipline.”
May God give
each of us the desire to learn more every day, especially more about Him and
his love for us.

Making Life Better
One of our goals at Faith Lutheran for
you and for your family is to make your life better. We want to make your life better by assuring
you that your children are getting a quality, well-rounded education. We strive for excellence not only
academically but, as a Christian school, it is our earnest desire to help your
child grow spiritually as well. Because of this, we want you to know what your
children will be learning and what the Lutheran Church believes, teaches and
confesses. It’s with this in mind that I would like to
invite you to a class entitled “Making Life Better.
The
entire course consists of three parts: Reviewing the Past, Changing the Present
and Transforming the Future. We would
like to extend an invitation to you for the first five lessons. We will meet on Monday evenings from

You are more than welcome to stay for the final two parts over the
following weeks as well.
