Fourth Sunday of Lent

Early and often did God send messengers to them.
  • The Second Book of Chronicles was written after the Babylonian exile as a reinterpretation of history for the new situation in which the people found themselves.
  • A major focus of hope for the returned community was the rebuilt temple, a sign of the return of God’s presence.
  • The people saw the destruction of the former temple as a punishment for their sins and a fulfillment of the prophets' warnings.

Reading II : Ephesians 2:4-10
God is rich in mercy.
  • The Letter to the Ephesians emphasizes that God’s salvation is a gift and not something earned by human effort.
  • In the Hebrew Scriptures the major covenant virtues of love and fidelity are manifested in God and demanded of humans.
  • In Ephesians we are told again that it is because of God’s great love and abundant mercy that we are brought to life in Christ.

Gospel : John 3:14-21
The light came into the world.
  • In today’s Gospel, Jesus explains the truth seen in faith to Nicodemus.
  • Those who choose eternal life receive it because of faith in Christ.
  • Humans choose salvation or reject it just as they choose or reject life.
A Message from Mrs. Laidlaw Otto
 
Dear SJE Families, 

Today marks the end of the second trimester. Report cards for all students in grades one through eight will be sent home next Thursday, March 18th. We recommend that all of our families, but especially those with students in grades five through eight, set up Powerschool accounts. Parents and students should sit down together and check Powerschool once a week. This is an excellent way not only to stay on top of your child’s learning, but also to facilitate conversations with your child regarding their learning. Questions that pop up during these conversations should be addressed to the teacher in that subject area. 

We know that the third trimester will fly by. During the last third of the school year we will be completing our Forward testing and tackling one more round of Star testing.

We are looking forward to spring weather, but winter is not over yet. Please make sure that as spring snows inevitably hit us, your children continue to bring snow clothes and boots to school. Our students love to play outdoors regardless of the weather!

Together in God’s Name,

Mary Laidlaw Otto
