WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD
People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Luke 18:15-17
I treasure each child in my class and I thank you for bringing them to Zion. Here at Zion your child is given the blessing of learning about their Savior. What a wonderful place to be!

| This week in chapel our school was presented with TOUCH OF LIFE MODELS from Owen's Mission. This is a special Lutheran for Life National project to honor a little boy name Owen who Jesus took to heaven. Owen's Mission is to provide every Lutheran School in America with a set of babies. A person is a person no matter how small and each person is special and important to God. |
