đź‘‹Message from the Principal

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,


This past weekend, Luther High School hosted its Science and Fine Arts Fair, an event held twice each year. This event provides students in 5th through 8th Grade with an opportunity to use their God-given talents while competing alongside fellow believers from other WELS grade schools throughout the region. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to develop their abilities, encourage one another, and recognize the many blessings God has given them.


In the book of Judges, we read about Samson, a man whom the Lord blessed with extraordinary strength. Throughout his life, Samson began to view his strength as something of his own rather than a gift from God. His ability to defeat numerous enemies became a source of personal pride, and his actions eventually led to his downfall. Yet, at the end of Samson's life, we see him turn to the Lord in faith, praying for strength one final time, before bringing down the pillars of the Philistine temple.


Like Samson, we can sometimes lose sight of where our gifts and abilities come from. Whether we are competing in athletics, academics, or the arts, it can be tempting to take personal pride in our accomplishments and boast about what we have achieved. While we can certainly celebrate our successes, we must always remember that every good gift comes from our gracious Lord.


James 1:17 reminds us, "Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, who does not change or shift like a shadow." May we continue to recognize the Lord as the source of our talents, abilities, and earthly blessings. As we use these gifts in our daily lives, may our focus remain on giving glory and praise to the One who has blessed us with them.


Blessings on the rest of your week!


In Christ,


Jace Fellers, Principal
