Dear Parents,

Back in the swing of things!  Today, Pastor Sherry gave us a tour of the church and pointed out many things (That I didn’t know about!) for us to notice.   Last week, we learned about the different pieces of the “tent” church that Israelites created and then got to see some of those same pieces in our church!  Ask you your firstie about anything that they remember.  We even got to go up to the balcony, go into the bell tower room, and attempt to ring the bells by pulling on the ropes (The firsties found out that the bells were pretty heavy!)!

See the little round window towards the top?  That window has a picture of Martin Luther in it!

The alter and other parts of the front of the church.

Look at the ceiling!  I never noticed it before! It is supposed to be representative of when the heavens open and Jesus comes back.

Did your firste tell you that they learned a little bit of Latin today?  Venite adoremus dominum, which means, o come let us adore Him.  It is in the song that we are singing for the Advent service next Wednesday! Speaking of our Advent service, did you see the speaking parts that came home?  Thank you for going over them with your firstie…the parts can just stay in their folder for the next week (don’t forget to send them back to school!). For the service, they will be able to use their papers, but the closer that they are to having the parts memorized, the better. 

I forget to mention this in the parent letter, but our Student Council is sponsoring a Hat Day this Friday.  If students want to wear a hat they must pay a dollar.  

 

Have a great night!
