National Lutheran Schools Week has been a lot of fun. We worshipped our Lord together to begin each day, and we enjoyed a lot of interesting activities along the way. This Sunday the sixth grade handbell choir is playing at the 8:30 service. The rest of the kindergarten-grade 8 students are singing at the 11:00 service. Please remember to set your clocks and watches ahead one hour on Saturday night so that you are not late for the service on Sunday morning. Thank you. 380 people RSVPed for the Book Fair Barbecue, but we served 486! What a night of food, fun, and fellowship! Mrs. Hascup had to send her son to the store for more food, but we were glad to have so many people join us for dinner. Other important events in March are the Variety Show on March 26 and the Ram-a-Thon on March 31. During Monday-Wednesday of Holy Week, we will have chapel every morning. On Monday, March 29, the early childhood teachers will lead a chapel about Palm Sunday. On Tuesday, March 30, Mary Ann LaBonte, a Redeemer Church member, is leading the children in a Seder meal in the gym. This will be in honor of Jesus celebrating the Passover with His disciples on Maundy Thursday. Finally, on Wednesday, March 31 before the Ram-a-Thon, the middle school will lead a chapel service in connection with Good Friday. You parents are welcome to join us for any or all of these special worship events. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If your children are like our Jordan, they didn’t come with an “owner’s manual” when they entered your life. We parents need to pray for faith, love, patience, wisdom, and strength as we raise our children. Unfortunately, some parents are under the impression that they must do whatever they can to make their children happy, at almost any expense—and I’m not talking just monetary expense here. Our task as parents is to give our children appropriate love, not “smother love,” and to raise our children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.” In order to prepare them to be Christian leaders, we need to teach them responsibility. Here are some ways in which we can help our children to become responsible individuals.
I remember that for days, weeks, and months after JFK was assassinated in 1963, the picture of Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother appeared in the newspaper repeatedly. She tried to convince a grieving nation that her son was innocent of JFK’s assassination. As an adult, one of my mom’s former kindergarteners stabbed his mother to death. When I asked Mom how the guy was as a kindergartener, she said that he wasn’t really a behavior problem back then. Sadly, some people are unable to appropriately handle circumstances that they face as they grow up.
As we prepare our children to be Christian leaders, let’s also prepare them to be responsible teens and adults and good citizens of the community. I would much prefer that parents of other children say to their kids, “You are welcome to invite Jordan Essig over to the house any time” instead of “You may invite any of your classmates to the house except Jordan Essig.” By modeling responsible behavior ourselves, we can influence which of these statements other parents say to their children. May God bless your efforts as you tackle the awesome task of parenting!
Sunday, March 14: (Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour.) All students are asked to sing our two lively songs, “It’s a Great Day” and “Blessed Be” during the 11:00 a.m. service. The children can sit with you parents and then come forward as we call them to the chancel to sing.
The hugely popular Redeemer Variety Show will be held on Friday, March 26. Patty Loveland is coordinating this entertainment extravaganza. We just sent home the Ram-a-Thon packets. Please read through the materials and encourage your child to help the school raise some money through this vital effort. Our actual Ram-a-Thon walk will take place on March 31, weather permitting. April 23 is the rain-out date. March 31 will be a full day of school, and extended care will be open that day.
In Jesus’ name, Jim Essig |
