1 "From the masters for the Master" Art Show 1:00-5:00

Chapel services are held regularly at 8:20 (Please note the new starting time!) on Wednesday mornings. Visitors are always welcome! Our chapel services are also livestreamed on the MLS Facebook page.

We invite the Sunday School students from our association congregations, as well as those of our MLS students' congregations to submit a favorite piece of work to be included in "From the masters, For the Master." They can bring a piece that they have created that is some way brings glory to our Master. We will also be looking at some of the works of art from our students at MLS who have modeled their works after those of the masters. .

THIS IS NOT JUST FOR MLS STUDENTS. HOWEVER, work done by MLS students in their art classes will be featured.

How to submit your art work:

--Please have your art work to the Zion Lutheran/Martin Luther School by Thursday, March 30^th.

--When appropriate, we ask that have your work matted so that it is ready to be presented.

--We encourage you to share some of the story behind your work. In reference to the piece above:

If modeled after a master artist, please include the name of the artist with your entry. (Example: This piece is modeled after the work of artist Vincent Van Gogh.)

· Not all work entered will be modeled after a master artist, but has been submitted purely in praise of the ultimate “Master Artist.” Please share how your entry is an expression that brings glory to God. This could be done by having a Bible verse that accompanies your work. A verse that could accompany this piece of art might be, “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Luke 12:27.

You could also just share how your work praises God. For some of our very littlest artists, parents feel free to take dictation! 😊

Please contact Denise Wolfgram, wolfgram@lutherschools.org by March 28^th letting me know what you plan to submit so that we can start making plans for how to display your work.

We look forward to seeing your creations in praise of our Creator!

Martin Luther School ALL-SCHOOL MUSICAL! (K-6)

Thursday, April 20th, 6:30

Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church

We are getting ready for our K-6 grade musical coming up on Thursday April 20th at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church! (We are super excited!)

ALL K-6 students will wear a "Survivor Babylon" T-shirt.

We have a way to get a high quality "Survivor Babylon" logo printed on our kids' t-shirts at a super low price. However, we need the shirts by March 31st to get everything completed. (The school will cover the printing costs for the shirts that are here by March 31.)

What does this mean?

1) You will need to provide us with a shirt for your child.

2) Each child will need a solid-colored, short-sleeved, no-pocket t-shirt in either red, yellow, or orange. (Think Hobby Lobby.)

3) We will need these here by March 31 for these to be completed. Any shirts brought after that time will have a fee as they will need to be printed in a different manner.

You may bring them at any time between now and March 31. Please have your child bring them to his or her classroom.

Thanks so much for your help with this!! They will look great! Costuming will be simple, but fun.
