Chapel This week...

Leading us in Chapel this week is Mr. Scott Loberger. Our theme this week is 'Who Am I? I Am Risen with Christ"

Reminder that we livestream chapel each day except on Wednesday when our students have devotion in their homerooms. This week Friday we welcome Pastor Ross Henzi from Trinity Brillion, who brings us God's Word. You can view chapel on Livestream by clicking here

1 Corinthians 15:20-23

20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came by a man, the resurrection of the dead also is going to come by a man. 22 For as in Adam they all die, so also in Christ they all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ as the firstfruits and then Christ’s people, at his coming.

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? Absolutely not! We died to sin. How can we go on living in it any longer? Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 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.

Parker Vogt's Fight Against Cancer

By this time many of you have heard that Parker Vogt (MLHS '22), is battling cancer. 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. 

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!

MLC Wind Symphony Coming to MLHS

Music is oftentimes like an old friend who journeys by our side on the road of life. Please join the Martin Luther College Wind Symphony for “The Road Well-Traveled.” Many of the melodies on the program are like well-loved friends, and along the way, you’ll be introduced to newer voices who may very well become fast friends. The MLC Wind Symphony concert will be held at Manitowoc Lutheran High School on Tuesday, May 16th at 7:00pm. We look forward to seeing you there!

Manitowoc Lutheran is looking for assistance in housing the MLC Wind Symphony on the evening of May 16th.  Approximately 38 students will need to be housed.  If you are willing to house any of these future WELS pastors, teachers, or staff ministers, please contact Charis Scharf at cscharf@mlhslancers.org by Tuesday, May 9th.  Thank you for considering this opportunity!

BASEBALL (1-3)

The Lancer baseball team traveled to Menasha last week Thursday (4/20) to take on the St. Mary Catholic Zephyrs. The Zephyrs scratched two across in the first inning and the Lancers were never able to overcome the deficit ultimately falling 3-2. Lancer freshman Logan Haupt collected his first and second career varsity hits and Run Batted In (RBI). Starting on the bump for the Lancers and suffering the loss was junior Noah Czarneski, who threw a solid 5 innings giving up 2 earned runs on 2 hits, striking out 7.

Tuesday @ Reedsville (3-4) 4:30pm | Thursday (H) vs Random Lake (5-6) 4:30 | Saturday @ Roncalli (2-5) 11am 

SOFTBALL (3-4)

Softball saw a lot of action last week playing in four games, lots of at bats and experienced gained. Although the Lancers come of of the week with only one win, the team is building on the positives and looking forward to the next slate of games coming up.

Highlights from last week include Brylie Zirbel hitting her team leading 2nd triple of the season on Tuesday in the Lancers 1-0 loss against Elkhart Lake.  On Friday vs Xavier, Jenna Lischka hit her team leading 4th double of the season, and Madison Luebke picked up her second Win this season in a 6-5 victory. On Saturday Sam Siehr extended her hitting streak to the same number of games played by the Lancers, 7.
