Faith Lutheran School in Las Vegas needs our prayers

After Wednesday’s Chapel, our students created a video that will be sent to Faith Lutheran School in Las Vegas.  Mr. and Mrs. Aumann’s daughter and son-in-law teach at the school.  Several members of the school’s faculty, student body and their families were at the concert when the mass shooting occurred this week.  Many of them sustained injuries.

For such a time as this, we must turn to our faith and use love to heal as well as provide hope.  Our school year theme from 1 Corinithians 13:13 reads:  And now these three remain:  faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love. 

Please pray for the people of Faith Lutheran School and the Las Vegas community.

Please visit Facebook:  Racine Lutheran High School Admissions to view the video.

Senior Leadership Retreat 2017

Racine Lutheran High School’s senior class gathered at Edwards YMCA Camp and Retreat Center in East Troy for its 10th annual Senior Leadership Retreat on Aug. 27 and 28.

The activities helped students identify, develop and practice their unique leadership skills.

The two-day experience commenced with a group breakfast and a Jubilate service at Trinity Lutheran Church. Racine Lutheran High School students led songs and prayers during the service, which focused on the parable of the Good Samaritan and promoted the retreat’s focus on kindness.

Students completed StrengthsFinder assessments, which helped each participant uncover his or her unique talents. Now that students have identified their strengths, they can continue to develop their leadership skills to facilitate personal development and growth.

The retreat’s activities included creative, mental and physical challenges, plus small group discussions, worship time, a campfire, a complex high-ropes course, zip-lining, canoeing and fishing. Devotions were inspired by the school year theme from 1 Corinthians 13:13 which reads: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
