We believe that Christ belongs in school!
Once there was a man who woke up early to go ice fishing. After he dressed appropriately for the frigid temperatures, he headed out to the ice with his tent, his ice auger, his fishing rod, and a bucket. He located what appeared to be the perfect spot, and after just a few seconds of drilling the ice with the auger, he heard a big booming voice from above bellow these words, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE HERE!" He paused briefly and just assumed that he was hearing things, so he resumed drilling. Again, the big booming voice announced, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE HERE!"
The man looked around and decided to take the advice, so he moved his location about fifty feet. Again, he began to drill another hole in the ice, when the thunderous voice once again reappeared and stated, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE HERE EITHER!"
The man looked up and inquired, "God... is that you?"
The voice quickly responded, "NO, IT'S THE MANAGER OF THE ICE RINK!"
Do you find that sometimes it is difficult to hear and/or discern God's voice? As parents, it is frightening when we realize the abundance of harmful voices in our world and how frequently our children can be exposed to them.
At St. Matthew Lutheran School, we believe that Christ belongs in school and that children can learn at a very early age how to recognize and follow His voice.
Please join us this Friday as we plan to "SOAR INTO THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR" with our 2024/2025 Open House, where you will have the opportunity to learn more about the Christ-centered education that we can offer your child. This Open House is for all currently enrolled as well as all inquiring families. This event will begin at 5:30 p.m. in Room 304 with a light pizza dinner. Starting at 6:00 p.m., families can tour their child’s next year's classroom. At 6:45 p.m., everyone will proceed to the gym where the evening will conclude with the Detroit Piston's Extreme Team's exciting performance!
Please RSVP by checking the school newsletter or calling the school office. In addition, the class with the highest participation will receive a catered Tuesday or Thursday lunch from one of our local eateries.
We hope to see you there!
Mrs. Lancaster and Mrs. Palka
