Singing Schedule:
Thank you to every group that has sung during a service throughout the first half of this school year.  There are many more great opportunities to sing the Lord’s praises in the second semester.

Worship sheets:
There are sheets that come home weekly that track the worship attendance of families.  If your child has a sheet like this with them over the Christmas break, please be sure to fill it out throughout the week.

Friday Dress-Up Day:
Friday, January 9 will be a Raiderwear day (Red, Black, White)

Chapel Piano players:
Monday January 5, Lillian K. and Harper

2nd semester Piano:
If you are interested in your child joining piano in the second semester please let Mr. Barnett know as soon as possible so the proper paperwork can be filed.  Those that paid for 2 semesters at registration do not need to worry, students will be scheduled accordingly.

Mission offering:
We are collecting offerings for WELS World Mission: Australia.  This past week’s collection was $124.00.  We have collected $588.90 of our $500.00 goal so far.  This is 117.8 % of our goal.  What a beautiful thing to come together to raise that much for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Australia.

2025 Christmas Service:
This afternoon, our Christmas service starts at 4:00.  Please have the children to their designated spots no later than 3:40.  Students in grades K-4 will meet in the lower hallway classrooms. Students in grades 5-8 will meet in the gym.  Church and school doors will be open by 3:00, but we ask that students are not just left in the school.  Please be sure there is a teacher present before leaving your child in the school building.

A Christmas message:
As we enter this most joyful season of celebrating the birth of our Savior, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the blessings we share as a school community. The Christ-child, born in Bethlehem, is the reason for our hope, joy, and peace, not only during Christmas but throughout the entire year.

It has been a true privilege to partner with you in the Christian education of your children. Their smiles, laughter, and growth in faith bring so much joy to our days. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and prayers. Together, we are raising a generation of young people who know their Savior and shine His light in the world.

We pray that your Christmas is filled with the peace of Christ, the love of family, and the joy of the season. May the message of the angel resound in your hearts: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11).

God’s blessings to you this Christmas and into the New Year!

In Christ’s love,
The Faculty and Staff of St. Stephen’s Lutheran School

Worship over the vacation:
Here is a list of worship opportunities as we go through the vacation weeks.

Upcoming Events:

No school events for 2 weeks.

St. Stephen’s School Mission:
St. Stephen’s Lutheran School will offer a Christ-centered education to all students. We will instruct them in the Word of God, educate them in secular subjects, train them to become responsible citizens in our community, and prepare them for their eternal victory in heaven when they die. We will do this by holding Jesus and his love before them each day by appropriately using law and gospel as we instruct and discipline.   

Please remember that if you need assistance with anything that you can reach out to the teachers and leaders of St. Stephen’s.  You can also find answers to some questions on the website: www.ssbdwels.com
