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
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.

Seeing God in the Everyday Moments
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!Read more...
ABCs of the Bible
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…
