Kathy Fretthold on Christian Education
– Excerpted from the newsletter of the Eastern District of the LCMS
Another school year has ended and all of the fun, end-of-year events are now a memory. Preschool and day school graduations, classtrips, field days, school plays and musicals, recognition events and ... final exams! Our Eastern District of the LCMS is home to eight schools and 26 free-standing Early Childhood Centers and Preschools which have once again fed over 2500 students and families with the Word of God. Our almost 400 dedicated teachers, principals, directors and aides have served throughout the year to His Glory! Our congregations with schools have a unique opportunity to reach out to families with a hand extended in care and friendship, and shining with the light of the Gospel.
