Ms. Staehr’s seventh-grade class is preparing for Advent through a project studying the Old Testament:

“The seventh-grade class has been studying the Old Testament. Each group was assigned the Old Testament passage for the week that corresponds with the LCMS Lectionary series. They worked to find ways to relate it to the history of the Israelites, connect it to the coming of Christ, and relate it to our lives today in an Advent devotion.”
