Family Prayer
Third Sunday of Lent
Keep my commandments.
- In every covenant, there are laws, duties, and responsibilities that must be followed.
- The Ten Commandments express the central law of the covenant made on Mt. Sinai.
- They outline the characteristic relationships with God and with neighbor.
Christ is the power of God.
- Signs are an important part of Israel's theology, as Paul notes in today's passage.
- In Israel's life, signs always convey the message of the presence and power of God.
- For those who can see, Christ is the ultimate sign of the presence and power of God.
In three days, I will raise it up.
- For Israel the temple is a sign of the presence of God.
- Jesus cleanses the sign because it is no longer conveying the message.
- Another message is added, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Jesus transfers the sign of God's presence from the temple to his own body, raised from death.

A Message from Mrs. Laidlaw Otto
Dear SJE Families,
It’s that time of the year where our students are shivering on the playground one day, and taking their coats off to enjoy sunny 50 degree weather the next. We pray for more of the warm sunny days as we work our way through March. Your children may have told you that they were not allowed to play in the snow for a couple of days this week. In spite of our warm, sunny weather, the nights have been extremely cold, creating some extremely icy conditions for our students. After dealing with more than the average amount of bumped heads, we decided to stay away from the snow for a day or two. That doesn’t mean that students should stop wearing snow pants and boots to school. We allow our students on the snow whenever possible, and they certainly enjoy it!
Our primary students enjoyed celebrating Dr. Seuss this week. This is a time-honored tradition at our school, and represents far more than the opportunity to dress in silly clothes. Our students are celebrating the ability to read independently. Whether they are mastering a rhyming Dr. Seuss tale or a simple chapter book, independent reading skills are the first step in developing critical thinking skills. What a wonderful gift! (See the pictures below)
Together in God’s Name,
Mary Laidlaw Otto
