Mayer Lutheran is closed for Christmas break until Tuesday, January 3, when J-Term begins.

May you experience the JOY of Christmas that comes from knowing that we are redeemed and forgiven through the work of that blessed Babe of Bethlehem, Jesus the Messiah!

MLHS Mission Trip Team Leaves Dec. 28

Twenty-one students and five adults leave December 28 on the 17th annual mission trip to El Paso, Texas/Anapra, Mexico. While there, they will build two small houses for two families, Family Medina Mendez and Family Marin Mata.


This is a wonderful opportunity for the missionaries of Mayer Lutheran to make an impact for Christ in Anapra as they build these two homes on diametric opposite corners of Anapra, meet both new people and old friends, and spread the Good News of Jesus!


The Mission Trip team returns to Minnesota on January 6. Please pray for safety on their trip down and back and while they work, for good health for the entire team, and – most of all – that the love of Christ would shine through our students and adult chaperones to these two families and to all those they meet on their trip.

Thank you, MLHS parents!


Thank you parents of Mayer Lutheran students, for your contributions to the MLHS Faculty/Staff Christmas Fund. Because of your gifts, we were able to give each teacher and staff member a generous gift.


We are blessed by your support and generosity!

School-Wide J-Term is January 3-6

This year for J-Term at MLHS, the focus is on service and relationship-building. A new aspect of the January 2023 J-Term is that, rather than individual offerings from which students can pick, each of the four days is a school-wide activity.

  • Tuesday, January 3 will be a trip to Sky Zone, which offers a variety of indoor activities.
  • Wednesday, January 4 is the kick-off to service projects, which will start with praise and worship at MLHS, and then transition to packing meals at two Feed My Starving Children locations.
  • Thursday, January 5 is another activity day - skiing at Buck Hill.
  • J-Term ends Friday, January 6 with another day of service, this time at school tying blankets for Mary's Place, decorating children's lunch bags, and making sandwiches for 365 Sandwich Ministries. Students will also hear from Pastor Ben Griffin of LINC Ministries.


Please pray for the success of this year’s J-Term. Pray that the faculty and students will benefit from these days of fellowship and will grow in positive relationships with everyone involved, but most importantly grow in their walk with their Savior, Jesus Christ.

Gift Planning Help


Nearly half of American adults have never created a will. We can provide many excuses. However, the Lord did not place things into your life for someone else to manage. 


He has chosen you to do that. You will find great joy and satisfaction in putting a plan together, seeing how God is working through you to love and bless. Your LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor can help. 


Contact Kurt Fuhr at [email protected], or 952-270-5878 to schedule a gift planning conversation.
