THANK YOU!
More than $120,000.00 was raised by generous SCLA supporters on Saturday, April 27 at the “Storybook Soirée” gala! All funds are used to support SCLA student programs and tuition assistance. Thank you to everyone who attended the gala, provided auction items, or volunteered to help! We appreciate you.
We ended the "Make a Difference" portion of the program at more than $35,000. This amount could cover six students’ scholarships for one year! If you’d still like to give to this special tuition assistance fund, donate at StCroixLutheran.org/Giving and designate the Gala fund.

LWMS Update - St. John is a member of the Lutheran Women's Missionary Society (LWMS.) All women of the congregation are automatically members and invited to attend the 2 rallies held each year. This month, the spring rally was held in Cambridge, MN and featured one of the 2 missions our LWMS circuit has adopted for the year. We learned about Peridot Lutheran School, part of the Apache mission, which was the first world mission adopted by the WELS in 1893. WELS missionaries were the first to put the Apache language in print for the purpose of sharing the Word. You are invited to see the presentation by teacher Debra Dietrich on YouTube, also linked at www.christcambridge.com (Presentation begins at 34:10.) Then, use the prayer below to ask the Lord of the Nations to bless our Apache brothers and sisters, our WELS missionaries/teachers on the reservations, and their ministry.
PRAYER: Lord of the Nations, we praise you for having allowed us a presence among the Apache people for over 130 years, for providing called workers and faithful members who love you and your Word. Please bless their efforts. Raise up leaders among the members who love Jesus and walk with you. Work through your Word and promise to overcome the roadblocks common to the Apache - generational poverty, unresolved anger, nature-based religion, and addiction - tools Satan uses to hold them captive but that your Spirit can break through. Bless those on the reservation with the sweet Water of Life and refresh them with your forgiveness. We ask you to bless Marissa Zaye, our Apache sister who is at MLC, training to minister among her people. Protect her, encourage her, and give her an eagerness to share the hope of Christ. We praise you that Peridot Lutheran has been able to raise almost all the funds needed to send teens to the National Youth Rally for the first time. Fill this experience with your grace and growth. Finally, Lord, in spite of the called worker shortage, mercifully provide the 3 teachers needed there next year. Bless them in the cultural transition. Fill them with an extra measure of wisdom, energy, and love for the Apache people ,so they clearly point to you as the source of Hope. Thank you for our resurrection Hope and the privilege to share it! Thank you for hearing and blessing your people everywhere. Amen.
