It’s celebration, tradition, appreciation, service and fun. It’s National Lutheran Schools Week! NLSW is an opportunity to proclaim and celebrate God’s work in our network of nearly 2,300 schools. We thank God for the opportunity to provide excellent academic preparation for the children we serve. We are most grateful for the opportunity to share Jesus’ amazing love with children and families.
Students from Green Park will work together to build community through fun events with the student body, families and service projects. Join us as we serve with Global Compassion Ministries Kids Against Hunger.
“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 (ESV)
