In Our Prayers: This week we will be praying for these St. Peter alumni who graduated from our school:
Madison Smith, class of 2012;
Magan Chanin, class of 2017;
Makensey Weathers, class of 2019 and
Maria Hagarty, class of 2019.
Devotion of the Week:
The Keys to the Kingdom Bible verse for this week is Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Each week in chapel when we use the liturgy of Prayer and Preaching, all of the children know the New Testament Canticle very well and they really sing out the refrain, "Christ has been raised from the dead! Alleluia. Alleluia." What a proclamation we hear from our students. What a great reminder that is for them now and for the rest of their lives. Our Romans verse goes along with this very nicely. Because of our sin, our punishment is death. There is absolutely nothing we can do about it. No amount of good works will outweigh the sin that infects us daily. Thanks be to God that Romans 6:23 did not end with "For the wages of sin is death." What a hopeless state we would be left in. The Gospel shines brightly in the second half of the verse which gives us every reason to rejoice, "but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." What comforting words! What joy this gives us! Christ has been raised from the dead! Alleluia! Alleluia! Thanks be to God for our Lutheran school where our children are reminded of this incredible gift every single day.

To the Girls’ A Basketball Team:
My name is
Adam Paveglio
. I am the 5th grade teacher at Bethlehem Lutheran school, and ran the scoreboard during your game against St. Paul on Friday at Bethlehem. I wanted to say how impressed I was with your team’s heart and determination. The Lord brought together a very special team! Although the score was not in your favor after the final buzzer, you won me over with your teamwork and effort! Keep pursuing your passions and what God has planned for all of you, in the same way, and you will truly be awesome disciples for the community and beyond! God Bless!
-This was emailed from Mr. Adam Paveglio, Bethlehem Lutheran School 5th Grade Teacher.

Girls Basketball Final Results: The girls A-team finished their season with two exciting games. On Friday, the girls had an incredible game again
st St. Paul in the TCLL Silver Tournament. The game was hosted at Bethlehem (see Quote of the Week above). Our Lady Panthers took an early lead and maintained that lead for the majority of the game. The Wildcats took the lead in the fourth quarter, and then two of our girls fouled out. Despite being down, the girls fought back and had a chance at the end but fell short,
20-22.
Kendelle Klemish
had a game high of 7 points. Other scorers were:
Isabella Curry
(6),
Keirstyn Curnutt
(5), and
Brooke Swanson
(2). The girls were able to finish their season the same way they started, with a 26-12 win over Midland Christian. It was a great way to end their season, especially with the whole team scoring:
Brooke
(6),
Ana Rodriguez
(4),
Laci Harry
(4),
Isabella
(2),
Keirstyn
(2),
Kendelle
(2),
Natalie McQueen
