One of my great joys serving in the parish was working with the pre-school. The students and parents of the school, some of whom where church members but many not, were a source of energy and missional opportunity. In this time of pandemic many of our schools across NT-NL Synod, ELCA have been closed for a time. Church and school leaders have made heroic efforts to keep staff employed if possible and provide online programming and connection for their students. We value our schools and give thanks for teachers and leaders. We are Church, School, and Synod #InMissionTogether #NTNL #ELEA
