Walk Humbly with your God
The school theme for 2007-2008 is
“Walk Humbly with your God” based on Micah 6:8. On the first day of
school, the teacher usually goes through class routine, rules and what is expected for the
upcoming academic year. The minor prophet, Micah, asks the question, “What does
the Lord require of you?” He replies, “To act justly and to love
mercy and to walk humbly with your God”. We will strive this year to do the
right thing, to have a kind forgiving heart and to certainly praise God for the gift of
His Son, JESUS. We walk in humble awe of our great God who has given us the
way to Heaven through the redemptive work of Jesus our Savior.
We send greetings from the Board of Christian Education and the
faculty and staff of Clarinda Lutheran School. We are happy to have you either for a
first time or continuing as part of our educational ministry and mission here in Southwest
Iowa.
Under the Gospel we will want to do all things to the glory of
God. Please become familiar with our handbook
so that we may live together in happiness and in a spirit of forgiveness and love.
