Fully Rely On God

      F.R.O.G.

The wonderful word of Psalm 27 reminds us to Fully Rely on God.  As Mr. Staub pointed out in his Wednesday morning chapel service, Psalm 27:14 says “Wait for the Lord:  be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”  That ‘wait’ means that we rely on the Lord for everything – our salvation and all our needs.  The book of Hebrews is filled with the stories of people who lived lives of faith, relying on God’s promises in the Old Testament and God’s fulfillment of those promises through His Son, Jesus, in the New Testament.  Thank you, Mr. Staub, for helping us focus on our theme and its meaning.

PTL NEWS – The PTL Board is still in need of one volunteer to fill a board vacancy for the upcoming school year.  If you are interested in helping out,

DID YOU KNOW –   Woodburn Lutheran School

graduates value their time spent at WLS…

Josh Adams – WLS class of 2005 – Good times, bad times, best of memories, worst of memories.  Woodburn Lutheran was the place.  I have so many memories there with friends, teachers, sporting events, and worship.  I remember Mr. Staub’s Christmas song, always getting Mrs. Schroeder off topic, and giving Mr. Hoyer a hard time.  I also learned a lot.  Everything my teachers taught me they related back to Christ.  WLS not only gave me a good education, but they showed me how Christ will be with me throughout my life in everything I do.  “Thank you” to the staff of WLS.

(Watch for more wonderful bits of information about WLS for you to share with neighbors and friends.)

 GIRL SCOUTS – We are looking for a new Brownie Leader to be in charge of the WLS Troop.  Brownies are girls in Grades 1-3.  It is very fun and rewarding to spend time with these girls.  If you are interested, please let Jenny Osborn know.
