Sunday School
Meets Sunday mornings 9:15 a.m. September thru May Teachers:
Whether you are a parent, pastor, teacher or a member of Grace; God has blessed us with the special privilege and great responsibility to nurture his children with his holy Word. The 2009-2010 Sunday School enrollment is 40 plus.
Our goal starting this year and from here forward is to have our Sunday school self funded. This means that through your child's weekly offerings we would purchase our Sunday school text and materials, and any left over money would be given to an agreed upon Mission. A giving cross has been posted to track our Sunday school offering totals. If you need offering envelopes contact your child's teacher. Teachers meet once a month with Pastor to discuss issues regarding lessons, students, activities and expectations as the year progresses. All of our teachers at Grace have been blessed with a God-given dedication to helping each student know his word. We pray that all those involved in our Sunday school from the students to the parents and including the teachers will be lead by the Holy Spirit to eagerly want to become involved in learning more about God's word as part of their daily lives. We were blessed this year to have eight young people volunteer to be Sunday school aides, which is much appreciated and is an ongoing need. We are hoping that some of them will branch out to be co-teachers in the near future. If any one wishes to be part of this rewarding experience, please contact the pastor. |

Youth Confirmation Pastor Pankow: (652-9234) 7th & 8th Graders: Dianne Stewart: (794-1447) Our confirmation classes are broken down like this: Pastor meets with the students for an hour on Wednesday evenings Sept through mid May. He introduces lessons from a catechism based work book. The students meet on Sundays with me to review the lesson, go over any assigned homework and have the students recite their memory work. Two times a year we invite the parents to participate in a review trivia game that is held so anyone who wants to sit in can see what our children are learning. We have found this is an exciting way to encourage the parents to work together with their children to learn God's word.

Preschool Jesus’ Lambs of Grace It is hard to believe how fast a year goes, and how much the children change. At the beginning of the school year, all the children are measured, and now again at the end — some have grown as much as two inches! The children also draw a picture of their family at the beginning of the school year, and again at the end of the year. It is so interesting to see how their fine-motor skills and eye-hand coordination have changed over the course of 9 months — some of their families changed too this year — we’ve had 4 families expand by one and we are waiting for two more little ones yet to come. The children all write their names during their first week at school, and we save those to compare side by side with their skill at writing their name now. Their parents will get to take all those items home during the last day scavenger hunt. We’ll be gardening this summer thanks to Mr. Kevin Sielaff, Mr. Lindner from Ace Hardware, Mr. Seiler from Seiler Construction and Jerry Krueger from Lakeshore Landscaping for making that all happen. We’ll be tending the garden, watering, weeding, harvesting, and hopefully enjoying the fruits of our labors. God’s Blessings! Ms. Debbi Heiderich Meets Monday thru Friday 8:45 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. September thru May Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 4 year olds Tuesday and Thursday: 3 year olds Teacher: Deborah Heiderich 482-0001 Registrations are accepted on a first-come basis.

Vacation Bible School will be held August 9 - August 13. Our theme is “High Seas Expedition,” an exciting and action-packed adventure through God’s Word. We’re looking for decorations to transform our entire church into a gigantic nautical world, complete with ships, treasure chests, and other fun sea-faring decorations. If you’ve ever had a chance to see the decorating done in years past, you know we REALLY like to decorate! It really helps for kids to get into the fun so . . . the more, the better!! Following is a list of ideas for decorations. If you happen to have any of these items at home that you would be willing to let us use for VBS week, please drop them off in the church conference room by August 1. Be sure to label any items you would like returned to you. You may pick them up again in the same location any time after the end of the VBS week. Anyone wishing to make a monetary donation to be used toward decorating, supplies (paint, brushes, building supplies, etc) may drop it off at the church office during regular office hours. Thanks in advance for all your help. We really appreciate it and so do the kids!! Seagull decorations Old ships Treasure chests Ship’s wheel Life jacket / Life preserver Cheese cloth Black duct tape Port hold window Nets (soccer nets would work well) Wooden barrels / crates Burlap bags (ship cargo) Costume / play jewelry and coins for treasure Thick rope Large cardboard boxes Plastic fish / marine life
MHLS Highlights www.mlhslancers.com MLHS Mission Statement: Manitowoc Lutheran High School developes young adults spiritually, mentally, and physcially through a Christ centered education. MLHS is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. WELS has supported Lutheran education for over 150 years and its schools represent the nation's 4th largest private school system. Cookbook The MLHS Accents have put together a cookbook of favorite recipes from the singers and their parents. The cookbook entitled “Singing for our Supper” is available from $15 and can be purchased in the Script Office at MLHS or by emailing Joel Ungemach at jungemach@mlhslancers.com What is Script The purpose of script is to allow the consumer to support MLHS while spending money on things they already do. You may purchase script ahead of time and use it just like you would a gift card. How does it work? A portion, designated by the participating business, is given to MLHS (example: if the business is allowing 1.5% and your purchase $10 worth of script the school gets $.15 and the remaining $9.85 goes to the business, who in turn writes off that $.15 as a tax deduction). Check with the church office for a complete listing of participating businesses or contact the Script office 682-0215 ext 189 or email the office @ script@mlhslancers.com for more information. Wish List Please contact Scott Reinhard, MHLS Development Director @ 920-242-9204 for department needs.
