Walking in the Light
Prayer Cards – Each morning our teachers
meet for devotions as we prepare for our day. We
also regularly pray for our students. The
students we will be praying for next week will
be: Mitchell Warnock (1st), Alec
Witmer (Pre-K), Karli Bricault (Pre-K), and
Emily Gustin (2nd).
WLS Chapel Invitation – We would like to
invite everyone to our special chapel service
next Wednesday, April 18th. This will
be in our gym starting at 1:00 PM. This special
time is to allow our guest, Michelle Hoeppner,
to make another presentation at another school
in the morning. Miss Hoeppner will talk about
her mission work in China. Please consider
joining our students next Wednesday afternoon to
hear about what is being done in China to spread
God’s Word.
Track Begins – Our WLS track season will
begin next Tuesday, April 17th. The
meet will begin at 4:00 at the Concordia
Seminary track. Come out to cheer our students
on if you are in the area. We are thankful to
Jacob Gentz, one of our parents who volunteered
to be an assistant coach with Mrs. Schlie.
Confirmation Time – Confirmations are
coming up in both of our churches. Confirmands
at Christ Lutheran Church are Derek Gerig,
Kristen Gerig, Grace Keller, Marissa Messmann,
Evan Powell, Abby Rekeweg, Jesse Schlie, Joe
Schlie, A.J. Stites, and Pastor Asher’s son,
John Asher. Their confirmation date is Sunday,
April 22, in the 10:30 service. The confirmation
service for Zion (Jared Huth and Nathan
Wiedemann) will be held the following Sunday on
April 29th, during their 9:00
service. Please pray for these students at this
special time in their lives.
New Baby – For those who haven’t heard

Chapel News As noted on the first

held at WLS at 1:00 p.m., in order
to accommodate our speaker, WLS grad,
Michelle Hoeppner, who will speak about

Education Organization – mark this date on your
calendar – it’s fascinating to hear her talk
about her work in China. She also speaks fluent
Mandarin Chinese. Chapel envelopes

Lutherhaven in February and March was $231.93.
