LUTHERAN SCHOOLS

Norfolk and the surround-ing area are blessed with

multiple Lutheran schools, including Christ Lutheran School and Lu-

theran High North East. Lutheran schools assist families in pointing kids to

Jesus. If you have any questions about the Lu-

theran school system, en-rollment or cost; contact

the church office.

XPLORE OUR SAV-

their parents through grade 6. Register on the Children’s Ministry

page at oursav.org or in the office, from there we will be off on

a spiritual journey!

dren’s Ministry? Give me a call! March 21-22 we are taking a trip

to Omaha to visit with the author of the Sun-day school curriculum

we use. DON’T MISS OUT!- this will be a

great training oppor-

tunity!!

CELEBRATING KINDERGARTEN

Kindergartners gather every Sunday morning to celebrate God’s love for

them and to learn more about their savior Jesus. Rebecca Otten, Susan Dowling, Cathy Cipra, and Sara Barritt

greet the Kindergartners in room D1 (better known as the Jungle Room) at 9:00 every Sunday morning. Continue

to pray for these four guides, that they would be blessed by being on the

Xplore Our Savior Ministry Team, and that they would continue to be a bless-ing to the Kindergarten children and

their families. Please, take advantage of this for your children and their spir-

itual growth.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL DATES AND THEME AN-

NOUNCED Mark your family’s
