| | | | | Drastic times call for drastic measures. Elimelech and Naomi, in the midst of famine, took their family and left the Promised Land. With it, they left behind the promises. So when everything went south, what was Naomi going to do next? What will you do? |

| |  | Did you know that offering your First Fruits is a powerful act of worship? In the Bible, First Fruits offerings held immense significance. They were a tangible expression of gratitude to God for His abundant blessings. By presenting the very first and best of their harvest, the Israelites acknowledged God as the true source of His generosity. This act symbolized their deep trust and commitment to honoring Him in all areas of their lives. |
|
|
Join us in this meaningful tradition as we offer our First Fruits to God on Sunday, February 2, during worship. By dedicating the first portion of your blessings back to God, you demonstrate your faith in His provision for the year ahead. We invite you to prayerfully consider how you can participate in this special offering. Let us come together as a community of faith, expressing our gratitude and trusting in God's abundant grace. May God bless you as you seek to honor Him with your First Fruits.

In a world where immediate gratification is often expected, Mrs. Dana Purvis consistently demonstrates that the best outcomes are achieved through hard work, dedication, and faith. Her students and colleagues are enriched by her commitment to excellence and service. Her colleagues describe her as a collaborative and supportive team player, saying: "Dana is always willing to help. She’s a great team player who not only strives to do her best but also inspires all of us to be our best.” "As a master teacher, she is always prepared, knows her curriculum inside and out, and teaches with such heart and passion.”
|
|
|  | “Dana loves her Lord which is evident in all that she does. Her compassion, patience, knowledge, dedication, and inspiration make her a treasured mentor. Dana goes beyond teaching; she connects with her students, understands their individual needs, and touches their lives for Jesus.”
TLS preschool students echo these sentiments with heartfelt reflections: “She was always supportive.” “She always has activities planned for us.” “She loves us no matter what.” “Miss Dana lets us have fun.” Mrs. Purvis’s tireless efforts and Christ-centered approach make her a beloved teacher and a beacon of hope and inspiration in the lives of those she serves. |

Verse for the week:
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3

PSE, a student exchange company, is sending Lutheran High School a 10th-grade French girl named Lilou, and they need a host family for her. The monthly stipend paid directly to the host family is $700. Lilou will be on the short-term program and will be here from 1/25/25-4/19/25. Lilou will have her own spending money and health insurance. PSE asks the host family to provide a bedroom/place to study and three meals per day. Any meals eaten outside the home are paid by the student. There is a local person in the community that supports the student and the host family. It is a wonderful way to bring a great cultural exchange into your own family. |
