A GREAT PLACE TO GROW - GROWING IN CHRIST
 
LUTHERAN SCHOOLS:  SECURING EACH CHILD'S FUTURE
 

 

 

 

 

 
Sept 5:
1st Day of School

 

 The theme set for National Lutheran School’s Week this school year is “Securing Each Child’s Future.”  This is based on Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

 We live in a world that sometimes seems void of hope.  We can easily become discouraged when we look at the prospects of our future.  This discouragement can lead to feelings of hopelessness.  However, God says that He has a plan for us.  A plan that will “prosper you and not harm you, a plan that will give you hope and a future.”  While we don’t know what the future does hold, we know Who holds the future.  We can trust in the goodness of God to care for us in the midst of situations that seem hopeless.

 Our hope is not in our circumstances, but in God our Father.  That does not necessarily mean that life will always turn out the way we expected, but it does mean that we can always trust in our Father to love us and watch over us.  With our lives in His care, we are guaranteed from an everlasting perspective, that we will have an incredible future filled with hope awaiting us that will last forever.

 As we work on the tasks set before us this year, we look forward to helping the children and families of our school know that their security is found in no one but our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

ADOPT - A - CHILD

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW WOULD LIKE TO HELP CHANGE A CHILD’S LIFE GIVE TO THE ADOPT-A-CHILD FUND AT IMMANUEL LUTHERAN SCHOOL.

 We strongly believe that no child should be deprived an education at Immanuel Lutheran School because of funds; Therefore we have established the Adopt-A-Child Fund.  Your donation can be designated for a particular child or to be used where a need is determined. 

LET GOD USE YOU IN A SPECIAL WAY -  SHARE CHRIST THROUGH THE GIFT OF EDUCATION!

MEET OUR NEW TEACHER

MARY METZGER 

Hello!  My name is Mary Metzger and I will be teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade here at Immanuel Lutheran School.  I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, attending St. Peter-Immanuel Lutheran School for 9 years and then Milwaukee Lutheran High School, graduating in 1998.  After high school, I attended Concordia University in St. Paul, MN (CSP).  I graduated in 2002 with a BA in Communication Studies.  Various jobs and opportunities took me to Colorado and Ireland after graduation, but I settled back in Milwaukee to work as a church secretary at my home congregation at the time.  After much praying, I enrolled back at CSP for my elementary education license and completed the licensure program, Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade, this past spring.  During this time I also completed my Confessional Lutheranism minor (for Lutheran Classroom Teachers), Art Design minor, and Music minor.  Through God’s plan, I am now moving to Walker, MN to teach at Immanuel.
 
In my spare time, I like to sing in choir and play various musical instruments, including trumpet, French horn, guitar, and handbells in ensembles.  Spending time with friends is also important to me, whether that be by watching a movie, going for a walk, or playing team sports.  Soccer, hockey, and softball are my favorites to play.
 
I am very thankful for all the blessings and opportunities God has placed in my life.  It has been an interesting journey and I know that He will continue to guide each of us throughout our lives.  “… being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…” Philippians 1:6
