School Notes Overview:

Bethlehem Lutheran School is all about securing each child’s future: whether it be preparing each child for the next grade level; for a life of service to God, family, community and country; for a life-long appreciation of learning; or for a long, productive life. Most importantly, the faith brought about by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God Secures Each Child’s Future…For Eternity! The Great Commission given to the Church by Jesus in the last chapter of Matthew is, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Our Lord has been doing that through Bethlehem here in rural Ossian for well over a century. We ask the Lord’s blessing as we strive to carry out that mission during the coming school year....
