GOD IS IN THE DETAILS!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Last week, as I was greeting students at the doors wearing my new knee brace, one of our sweet grandpas quietly inquired, "So I take it you won't be competing on this season's "Dancing With The Stars?" After a good laugh and confirmation that his hypothesis was indeed correct, he then inquired, "So what happened?" 

And thus, my story began….

SOARING INTO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

"Back to School" BMX Bike Show this Saturday at 6:00 p.m.

For the past few days, our little neighbor boy has been outside learning how to ride his bike without training wheels. However, what started as a mom/son project has evolved into a neighborhood bonding experience as we all have become invested in Drew’s success by shouting out words of encouragement, cheers, and applause.  

If You Lose the King, You Lose Everything!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but has eternal life.” John 3:1 

Would you consider yourself proficient at the game of chess? My children have always been fascinated with this game, but I have to admit that they did not acquire their skills or understanding of chess from me! So it was really helpful when a friend of ours, who is a pastor, shared his chess story with us!

WELCOME BACK!

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God prepare in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10

For those of us who work at St. Matthew over the summer, everyone tends to comment that the building is way too quiet! However, this building immediately becomes alive again as soon as all of the students return; you can just feel the excitement resonate throughout the hallways!

Praising God for a Tremendous 2022/2023 School Year!

"A new command I give you: Love one another!" John 13:34 

Each year, it is the responsibility of the current sixth grade class to select the theme for the upcoming school year. After much intense debate and deliberation, last year's sixth graders selected "Love is Everything We Need" as our "battle cry" for the 2022/2023 school year.

As I spent time this past weekend reflecting upon the 2022/2023 school year, I was reminded of these precious memories that occurred and provided our students with numerous opportunities to share God's love with others:

Happy Mothers Day!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phillippians 4:6-7 

As a teaching staff, we begin each school day by gathering together for devotions.

Throughout the year, every teacher takes a turn to share and reflect upon God’s word, as well lead us in prayer, because we believe that God works powerfully through prayer.

GRAB YOUR RUBY RED SLIPPERS AND GET READY BECAUSE... WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD OF OZ!

To God be the glory, great things He has done. Philippians 4:20 

This is an extremely exciting week as the St. Matthew gym transforms into the Emerald City! As we prepare for this week's performance of The Wizard of Oz, I am reminded of an interesting perspective that a former Superintendent of Michigan Lutheran Schools shared many years ago. Once I heard his connections between the Wizard of Oz and Christian Education, it endeared this movie even more to my heart as he shared this analogy:
