7th Weekly Update

Christ Our Builder 

Updates

Highlights of the upcoming weeks —

1. Chapel Offerings this month are going to support Journeys Lutheran School, found south of the Milwaukee area. Journeys is unique because it provides quality education for children with learning difficulties in a Lutheran school environment.  Their staff is trained, experienced, and equipped to guide and teach students with learning difficulties such as ADD/ADHD, anxiety disorders, Autism spectrum, Behavioral disorders, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, sensory disorders, and more. They provide special programs, small class sizes, a tailored curriculum, and a place to belong.  Our chapel offerings are so very needed.
2. World of Discovery Fair projects are due April 4th and will be displayed throughout that weekend, the same day as our own March Madness event.  This is the Friday we return from our spring break.
3. K - 8 sings together on Palm Sunday, April 13th.  (Please see note from Ms. Bremer below)
4. Community Service hours (5) are due May 1st.  Community Service Hours Form

Palm Sunday is coming close!

Grades K-8 students will sing on SUNDAY, April 13 one last time in worship this school year. As exposure to both contemporary songs and traditional hymns, this time they will sing “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” (LSB 443 St. 1-2)  for Palm Sunday.

Date: Sun, April 13

Meet time: 8am: Gr. K-8 students w/ L-Z last names sing; 7:30am: JuBellate rehearses at bell tables;

Where: groups start in worship team area, rest of students sit with families until it is time to sing 

We do need verses 1 & 2 memorized so that we can share the message from our hearts.

(K-8 Students) 1. Hosanna, loud hosanna,

The little children sang;

Through pillared court and temple

The lovely anthem rang.

To Jesus, who had blessed them,

Close folded to His breast,

The children sang their praises,

The simplest and the best.

(K-8 Students) 2. From Olivet they followed

Mid an exultant crowd,

The victor palm branch waving

And chanting clear and loud.

The Lord of earth and heaven

Rode on in lowly state

Nor scorned that little children

Should on His bidding wait.
