John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

It's cold out!

It might be cold out, but Jesus, the live vine, keeps me, the branch, alive each and everyday. Without Him, I'd be dead and useless.

Thank you, Lord Jesus.

 

John 15:5,8

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

 

This week's upcoming to do list for the students:

Happy December

Greetings from the teacher's desk!
     I actually get some time to sit at my desk. With Miss Opperman now doing the vast majority of the teaching, I have the chance to sit at my desk and observe the class from a different perspective. The students sometimes forget that they have two teachers, both of which are keeping track of what they are doing.
     It's a little less than three weeks until our Christmas service on December 21. ELS is doing a cantata this year. It has been MANY years since we proclaimed the Christmas Gospel entirely through song. Our class has gone through all of the songs. Each child has a set of words and has been asked to memorize them on their own time. It will only become memory work if they don't get it memorized on their own. Today they sounded pretty good during music class.
     Here's a picture of our class taken today. I've been trying to take a class photo for several weeks. Today is the first day since November 16 that all 24 students have been here.

God bless your week!

Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
