Early Childhood Registration Trinity-St. Luke’s Lutheran School (TSL) will hold and Open House and Registration

The Open House will take place on Saturday, February 15, from 9:00-11:00 am at the Western Avenue campus of Trinity-St. Luke’s Lutheran School located at 801 S. Fifth Street.

Plans are currently underway to expand the 3K and 4K programs and offer both of these programs five days a week for those families who may need this type of program. We will share these plans with interested families and any current updates.

Those parents interested in the five-year old kindergarten (5K) program must have children that are age five by September 1 of this year. The 5K program allows students to stay all day, every day.

A handout can be found in the Fireside Room or for additional information, please contact the school office of the Western Avenue campus of Trinity-St. Luke’s Lutheran School at 261-3615.

WELS Lutherans for Life Hiring WELS Lutherans for Life is seeking an RN to be our part-time Clinic Coordinator to

work in West Allis, Wisconsin. The successful applicant must be a responsible, self-starter with good communication skills, able to work with a variety of people to work with a team of dedicated pro-life staff and volunteers helping moms and dads in unwanted pregnancy situations. If you would be a good fit for this position, we invite you to submit your resume to Contact@ALife2.com or call 414-727-8176. If you know someone who may be interested in working with us, please tell them. Applicants must be WELS or ELS members. Complete position descriptions available upon request.

Jesus’ passion is so important that we contemplate it for six weeks before we celebrate Easter. Jesus’ passion is so important that it is a story worth sharing with all who will hear it. We’d like tell people what Jesus endured to save us from our sins through a program called “Journey to the Cross.” Journey to the Cross is a visual presentation of the gospel message centered on Jesus' passion. Through the JTTC program, guests make a travel reservation and are guided to different scenes in which actors present the message of Jesus' passion to them. We'd like to host JTTC on Saturday, April 4. In order to tell this story we need a lot of help. We need a minimum of 4 "travel guides". We need at least two "custom agents," and we need a minimum of 10 actors. We could also use an individual who would be the contact person for gathering the many props and visual aids we will need. This is a big undertaking, but this is a big opportunity for us to share the good news of Jesus with others. Provided that we have enough help, we will hold our first staff meeting in February. If you are interested in learning more, or are committed to helping us in these efforts, please sign up on the sheet in the Fireside Room or contact pastor Yahnke, 414-614-0077, pastoryahnke@hotmail.com.
