As I reflect upon the first three weeks of school, I cannot help but feel blessed to be a part of Valley Lutheran School’s ministry. The halls are alive with the smiling faces and joyful voices of our 176 students which is an amazing 20% growth in enrollment. Did you know that 47 of our students and their families are new to Valley? God is working amazing things at Valley and God is shining brightly in and through our students. Our ministry theme this school year is “Jesus is Our Light” as based upon John 8:12: “And Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This truth will be a focus we will fully explore and attempt to understand over the next 9 months. Please pray with me giving God thanks for His light and the truth of His inspired Word. Pray that God will shine brightly in and through students, families, and staff so that the world may see the light of Christ at Valley. Thank you to everyone who helps us be so much More Than A School as Jesus works in and through us as the body of Christ. Have a blessed weekend.
