News from Grace School

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— not the result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Our mission at Grace Lutheran Church and School is to bring in, build up, and send out disciples for Jesus Christ. Our school prepares children for a life of discipleship by helping them to grow in faith, knowledge, and character.

Next week Friday – Sunday, art work from students in Grades 1-8 will be on display in the gymnasium. Stop by when you pick your students up from school and take some time to view the amazing work our students have done this year. The work will also be available for viewing in the morning on Saturday and Sunday.
