Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: April 27, 2018

This week we studied Jesus Ascension and the Great Commission.
Wow that is quite a week!
Jesus went back to heaven to prepare a place for us,
Jesus gave us a job, to Go and Tell, to Baptize and Teach.
He promised to ALWAYS be WITH US.
He promised to send a helper, the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit gives us the power to GO, TELL, BAPTIZE, and TEACH!
We have an awesome God.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE OUR MUSICAL WITH YOU!!

For next week's musical on May 4, here is some information:

1) We will have a dress rehearsal at 2:00 p.m on Friday, May 4th in the church sanctuary for Zion students and any family members that want to attend.

2) The musical will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 4th. Please bring your child to the church basement at 5:45 p.m. Teachers will arrive at 5:45 p.m. so please do not send your child down any earlier.

3) Dress for that Friday:

VBS Registration

As it gets closer to summer I want to remind you not to take a vacation from God. This class loves to sing the various liturgies used in church. They also have a very mature prayer life. They are excited to hear and read the Bible. They love to share the GOOD NEWS! I ask that you continue to nourish their faith.

Make a commitment to attend church weekly.

Show your children that nothing is more important than God,
-not vacations (visit another church where you are vacationing),
-not sports (take advantage of the various services times and days),
-not sleeping in or boating or golf (show that God is important to you and make a point to worship even when it isn’t easy).

Your child will be blessed by your faithfulness to worship and will follow your example.

In Him,
Amy

A peek into our week..

WOW!!! Our class has giving over $500 dollars in offering.

Our class only has purchased 30 toys for Friends of Kids with Cancer!

Love matters!
God can do amazing things under heat and pressure!

Has your child told you about the red diamonds?

Thank you Lutheran High Orchestra for giving us a concert.

Thank you Lutheran High Students, all who are Zion Alumni, for doing chapel and reminding us to be grateful and not complain.
I only had one of them as a student and it is Mrs. Gnade, admission counselor at LHS!
