Dear Heavenly Father, in this Epiphany season, you make it clear to us through your Word that your Son, Jesus Christ, is true God and Savior of all. We ask that through that same Word you would strengthen the faith of the students attending Great Plains Lutheran High School and bless Christian education efforts wherever they take place. As we look forward to another year of grace, bless GPLHS with the opportunity to work with many more students and families. Guide all your people as we strive to courageously live to your glory, through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Early in December our Board of Directors extended calls to Mr. Steve Rosenbaum to serve as Principal and Mrs. Emily Cantwell to serve as Learning Resource Coordinator. Steve currently serves as principal at California Lutheran High School in Wildomer, CA. Emily currently serves as a teacher at Mt. Olive Lutheran School in Overland Park, KS. We are happy to share that Mrs. Cantwell has accepted the call to serve at GPL and is looking forward to joining the GPL ministry team! Steve just recently returned the call to GPL. Please keep Steve, Emily and their families in your prayers as they seek the Lord’s guidance and look forward to future service.

Congratulations to our students for all their accomplishments in this past fall’s activities season. These are the individuals who won awards in their respective fall activity.

• Cross Country: Thad Kratz (Male MVP), Halle Bauer (Female MVP), Thad Kratz (Male Panther), Daria Poor and Taylor Bendix
