My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27
All School Open House!
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 2019/2020 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 6:00 p.m. Families can tour next year's classrooms and enjoy a light dinner snack in the cafeteria, featuring the popular "gas station chicken and biscuits". The choir will entertain us at 7:00 p.m. in the church. After devotions, we will proceed to the gym where our very own St. Matthew cheerleaders will perform and introduce the Detroit Flight Crew. The evening will conclude with the Flight Crew's exciting performance! Everyone is welcome, but please RSVP to help us ensure that we have enough food. You can do so by calling the school office or email [email protected].
We hope to see you there!
