CALL UPDATES

Fine Arts Update

Lancer Singer / Jazz Band Tour to some of our LLS took place in October.  We would like to thank Bethany -  Manitowoc, St. John - Newtonburg, St. Paul - Howards Grove, and Trinity - Kiel for their warm welcome.  We look forward to visiting our other schools in the years to come!

Information and music for the Lakeshore Lutheran Children’s Choral Festival will be sent out the week of December 11^th.  Please coordinate with your music teacher / fine arts contact to answer the questionnaire.  Thanks!

Celebrate Christmas with MLHS and all of our Lakeshore Lutheran Schools at the Capitol Civic Centre!

The MLHS students have been working hard on their preparations for the MLHS Christmas Concert!  The Lutheran High Christmas Concert has grown to be a popular tradition for our students, the area WELS family, and our friends in the Manitowoc community. 

This year, students from the Jr. Lancer Youth Choir are invited to join us in the opening anthem of the concert.  MLHS Alumni are invited to join in singing the final song of the concert.

Please encourage your students and their parents to join us for the MLHS Christmas Concert at the Capitol Civic Centre.   This year’s concert will be held on Thursday, December 21^st at 4:30 and 7:30pm.

We would also love to have all of the Lakeshore Lutheran pastors, teachers, and school staffs as part of this special evening.  Teenagers don’t often share with their Lutheran Elementary School teachers and their pastors that they love seeing you at their events.  But, they truly are excited when they see you at their events supporting them during their high school years.  Please consider joining us at the CCC on the 21^st! 

We would like to wish you God’s continued blessings on your school year and hope that you can join us for our celebration of the Christ-child’s birth.  God’s richest blessings on your Christmas celebration!

Joint Mission Project:  Abiding Word, Easley SC.  

Hello once again from South Carolina. Greetings in the name of our coming King!

Our fall and winter update finds us in the middle of a lot going on in Easley, SC. We have been worshipping on the first Sunday of the month since September. We have been averaging about 35 in worship, and have done quite a bit to introduce ourselves to the community.

The weekend of Halloween, we participated in the downtown “Treats on the Streets” trunk or treat celebration. We had two teams meeting people with treats at both a booth in the market square as well as at our mission site downtown. We got to meet hundreds and hundreds of walkers and welcomed them into the actual facility. In two weeks from this writing we’re having an open house during the annual Festival of Lights parade.  We’re also planning an Advent song service before Christmas.

Beginning January, we will be moving to services twice a month and introducing a midweek evening Bible Study. By Holy Week we’re looking forward to welcoming the MLHS National Honor Society down here to help with an Easter for Kids event which will usher in the point at which we plan on going to full-time worship at Abiding Peace, Easley.

Until the next time, we thank you for your continued prayers for us. And more thank yous for considering your support!

In Christ,

Pastor Jon Meyer

MLHS BUILDING PROJECT UPDATE

The Building Our Future on Christ Building Project activity has picked up with installing the footings and foundations, parking lot and the southwest corner retention pond.  It is exciting to come to school every day and see all the activity and blessings unfold. You and your students have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming years. With this project being the largest project in the history of MLHS, the funding aspect continues to be a large part of this project. Recently MLHS took part in Giving Tuesday and by the grace of God over 50% of the $50,000 goal was met so far. We cannot thank everyone enough for the continued support in prayers and financial gifts. Please visit www.mlhslancers.org/campaign to see all of the updates and details in one location. You will find weekly video clips of the progress, a link to the construction photo gallery, and past quarterly updates. Please let Michelle Luebke at mluebke@mlhslancers.org know if you are not receiving the quarterly updates. The last one went out in November to your emails. You can also follow MLHS on social media, thanks to Paul Durkee. To God be the glory for all of this.
