We Are You – The Buller family

We are YOU … We are the Buller family

We were new to Messiah Lutheran School two years ago when Xavier was in 3rd grade. We recently asked Xavier how Messiah was different from his past school? He simply said,

“The teachers love me.” Read more…

We Are You – The Baksys family

Posted on Oct 21, 2019 by admin in General, HomePage |

From time to time, we ask Messiah families to share a story of how their family has been impacted by Messiah Lutheran School. This Fall, the Baksys family shared their journey from Messiah, to their local public school, and back again.

We are YOU…We are the Baksys family.

We are the parents of a sweet, funny, kind seven year old boy. Whether you are the parent of one or many, we are like you…we just want to raise our child to be kind and responsible. We live in a small town outside of Lincoln and have very little family support in the area. When Josh attended preschool at Messiah Lutheran School two years ago we were welcomed into a family that we didn’t realize we needed at the time.

We made the choice to attend a public school for kindergarten and truly missed the environment at Messiah Lutheran School and have chosen to come back. Josh thrives here where the teachers, staff and fellow students love him for who he is and provide the individualized care and attention that has allowed him to grow in his love for school, and more importantly, his love for Jesus. You cannot put a value on the intangible things that a student learns here: kindness and love, generosity and compassion. These qualities are found in all the teachers and staff to support not only the students but their families, too.

Quite often, we find that Josh will come home and end up teaching us just as many life and spiritual lessons as he is learning himself in school. In this life we all face challenges, loss, disappointment, and hardships but the love and support we receive from being part of the Messiah Lutheran School family brings with it peace and confidence to know we are not alone in this journey.

Family Puzzle

A new school year is about to begin. New faces and classrooms… reconnecting with old friend and making new ones. The following story was shared by Mrs. Shannon Meyer, one of our First Grade teachers at Messiah Lutheran School, at the end of last school year. During the nervous anticipation of a new year, it is good to look ahead at what is to come.

The Kindness of a Child

On a rainy summer morning, a young student came to school with his mom to meet his tutor. I met them at the door as they waited for the tutor to arrive. Read more…

Seeing God in the Everyday Moments

Posted on May 27, 2019 by admin in HomePage |

I would like to share about a time Messiah moment that I experienced recently. It didn’t happen at Messiah, and it may not seem like a big deal, but God showed up — and that is a pretty big deal!

Mrs. Schmidt

Posted on May 22, 2019 by admin in General, Spotlight |

Mrs. Schmidt shows God’s compassion through her listening ears. Some of the greatest needs that any child has are to be heard, understood, and accepted. Smiling from her mouth to her eyes, Mrs. Schmidt has a way of genuinely listening to the hearts of her students. And beyond the classroom, Mrs. Schmidt is committed to growing disciples who love Jesus with all their heart and are not afraid to live out their faith in their everyday lives. For the past year and a half, Mrs. Schmidt has been attending a discipleship immersion that is designed to teach church leaders a specific discipling rhythm that can be repeated over and over again to help people become closer followers of Christ.

ABCs of the Bible

Posted on May 13, 2019 by admin in HomePage |

This year the theme for our second grade chapel was ABC’s in the Bible. As a whole group, the students brainstormed ideas for each letter of the alphabet. I wasn’t expecting all the excitement that followed. Read more…

Mrs. Roth

Mrs. Roth serves at Messiah Lutheran School as our Director of School Nutrition. Her care for Messiah’s students and staff is reflected in the way she plans and provides delicious meals each school day and, more importantly, how she shares the love of Jesus with everyone she meets. Here is just one story of how Mrs. Roth cares for the students and families of Messiah; it has become our tradition for our parents to bake cookies to share with students and guests during a time of fellowship after the Christmas Concert. Mrs. Roth knows some of our students and parents have nut, dairy, or gluten allergies. It was so important to her that all the guests could enjoy the treats after the concert, she baked a variety of more than 1,000 cookies that were safe (and of course, yummy!) for all guests to enjoy!
