In this year’s Lenten devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries, Lamb of God, we have God’s Son come to earth as the eternal Word, Jesus Christ. Throughout John’s Gospel, Jesus is made known to us as both God and Man, full of grace and truth. He has come into the world to seek us out—you and me—to rescue us from the power of evil, and to make us His beloved children forever.

Jesus was born for sacrifice and servanthood. As God’s beloved Lamb, He intimately joined our lives in the flesh, compassionately healing, teaching, and loving us as our Good Shepherd. On the cross, He gave His life for our transgressions, and three days later He rose triumphant in victory over sin, death, and the devil.

You can share these devotions in an e-mail, as a printed copy, or through the LHM website: lhm.org/lent where others can read and listen to these messages.

Due to the unique theme of the quarter, Wildcat Club will be made available to St. Paul students in 5-8th grade. During the Third Quarter, the Wildcat Club will experience Line Dancing. Any 5-8th grade student can participate as long as he or she has a signed permission slip. A hard copy of the permission slip went home with students today. Fourth quarter will once again include students in grades 3-8.

Thank you to our Second Quarter Cafeteria Kid Assistant Volunteers! You helped our students navigate the cafeteria procedures, cleaned tables between groups, and assisted students with opening food and drink containers. We appreciate you! If you would like to help during the second quarter, please check out the Third Quarter Sign Up Genius here. Only one volunteer is needed each day from 11:00 am -12:30 pm. Thanks for your help serving our school community!

With cold weather coming, we inevitably know that there may be a Snow Day or two in our future. How will you know if school is closed for a Snow Day? Check these three places:

1. St. Paul Lutheran School will be closed when Bay City Public School closes, watch for it on WNEM's School Closings. 
2. The office will also send out a FastDirect email.
3. School Closings will be posted on our St. Paul Lutheran School Facebook Page.
