Start Early
Infants can be taught to fold (hold) their hands together while the rest of the family prays. Later they can be taught to say, "Abba, Father." It is a simple address, but then, so is their vocabulary and their communication ability in general. The word patterns of meal prayers are picked up very quickly by toddlers. In no time they will join you in prayer. Soon they will also be able to contribute thoughts of their own.

When children are frightened, prayer is a logical expression of faith. Worries about safety during a thunderstorm or for someone traveling are reasons to take your family concerns to God in prayer. Even if the biggest problem of the day is a scraped knee, praying about it demonstrates our reliance on the Lord in every trouble.

GradeKeeper
GradeKeeper is the teachers’ online grade book and is available for students in gr. 3-8. Please check your student’s progress regularly. Login IDs are available from your child’s teacher.

Mission Project
The mission project for the second semester of this school year is the WELS mission effort to support Christian schools in the Apache Land of Arizona.
