Romans 6:1-4 Dead to Sin and Living for God 6 What shall we say then? Shall we keep on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 Absolutely not! We died to sin. How can we go on living in it any longer? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him by this baptism into his death, so that just as he was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too would also walk in a new life. | | | | | ![](/lancerexpress_4_24_2023/a27f1296-e205-4907-b5b1-bd0120a383dc.png) | Mr. Paul Durkee Mr. Paul Durkee has announced that he has returned the call to serve at Garden Homes Lutheran School in Milwaukee, WI.

To support Parker in his fight the MLHS family banded together last week and held a penny war. Our student council set up the drive and monitored the water jugs as they filled up throughout the week. Our penny wars work a little differently than your standard penny war, all coins are worth their value per point, ie. penny=1 point, nickel=5 points, dime=10 points, etc. While bills are worth negative points at 100 points per $1, ie. $1 bill = -100 points, $5 bill = -500 points, etc. Our students banded together to show their support for Parker and his family during this difficult time and were able to raise $2,277.63 to help offset the financial burden of medical costs. | | ![](/lancerexpress_4_24_2023/70cc3bd1-64ca-4f47-9a44-098e122e1d0d.png) | ![](/lancerexpress_4_24_2023/ff11671c-f3fd-4dc3-a0d9-54421545f30f.png) | Team Parker T-Shirts To also show our support to Parker at this time the student council has designed and are selling 'Team Parker' T-shirts. They are available now for $15 a piece, all proceeds will go directly to the Vogt family. These are available to anyone and everyone, order them for the whole family!
