The Prep Singers of Luther Preparatory School in Watertown will present a sacred concert at Trinity Lutheran Church in Marshfield on Thursday, March 14th at 7:00 p.m. Please join us in proclaiming the Gospel in song.

Our Sunday School Pizza Lunch and Trivia Contest will be held Sunday, March 17 after our second worship service.

A Door Offering will be gathered after our worship services the first Sunday of April to support the work of our Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society (LWMS). Our Spring Rally will be held Saturday, April 20, at St. Peter’s, Schofield.

Our Sunday School Mission Offerings for the current school year will be contributed to our synod’s Military Chaplaincy, which serves our members in our nation’s armed services.
   Through the Second World War we were able to serve our military members through pastors of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod who served as commissioned military chaplains. About that time, however, the differences between our synods over the issue of church fellowship began to widen, eventually leading to our synod’s suspension of fellowship with the Missouri Synod in 1961. We could not accept the requirement of a Lutheran pastor to conduct services for members of other denominations in a manner that ignored historic differences in Biblical teaching.
   Not wanting to leave our members without pastoral services, our synod has arranged for local pastors to serve our members stationed at the 450 military bases in our country. For several decades we have supported a full-time chaplain to serve both our military members and those living abroad for work or education. Since our chaplain is supported by our synod, rather than being commissioned as a military officer, he is regarded as a civilian whom the military accommodates with access to personnel.
   Military service can be a stressful situation for our members and their families. With an increasing number of our members serving our country, our synod plans to call an additional full-time chaplain to serve them.

Debt Reduction:  Through Christ-compelled hearts, our debt total is now $1,107,418. Let’s get $7,418 to get to an even $1.1M and then keep working toward our goal to get below $1M for this school year. May Christ's love compel us!

Special Needs Scholarship Program: At Northland our teachers and staff show incredible love and commitment to students with learning challenges and special needs. In addition, we have a Special Education instructor on staff who works with our local public school district, with specific students to provide skills and resources, and with teachers to ensure best practices in the classroom for those individual students with needs. We are in the Wisconsin Special Needs Scholarship Program (SNSP), which gives the family of a student with an IEP or qualifying service plan a scholarship for tuition to Northland Lutheran High School regardless of income. Call and ask for more information if we can assist your family!
