Cross and Crown Lutheran School

Pastoral Staff: Cross and Crown Lutheran Church and School

Welcome, Welcome Back, and Thank You!

Thank you for trusting us with the gift of your children. The very lives God entrusts to you. When we get a moment to take a breath, it is an extraordinary thing to recognize life and lives trusted to us. We are always grateful. One of Jesus' short stories is about a being trusted with an enormous fortune. The good and faithful servants doubled the fortunes. (Matthew 25:14-30) Sometimes it is hard to imagine such growth when examined day by day. Still as Pastor of Cross and Drown I often hear people tell of memories with gratitude for the school and teachers from ancient times (50+ years ago)/ We take seriously this trust from you and from God.

I am delighted to participate with the school, not just at the School Board level, but also at Wednesday Chapel (9:00 a.m.), and Thursday Bible Study (8:30 for grades 3, 4, 5, and 6.) You may attend any time. We also have pop up "Let's ask Pastor Bill" time in classrooms. I am also available for any drop in discussion you may have of a pastor. My office is at the church entrance (the Preschool Drop Off), consider the open door and invitation to introduction and welcome.

Of course, you are invited to worship on Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. At 10:00 we have Kid's Club for 3-yr olds through 6th grade during the worship service. The children return to the service in time for communion with their families.

Come and see...

Thank you again,

Peace,

Pastor Bill
