            [January 26, 2013] 
            Zion Lutheran School in Lincoln 
			is participating in National Lutheran Schools Week, Jan. 27-Feb. 2, 
			with special activities each day and an open house on Thursday. The 
			theme for National Lutheran Schools Week is "Baptized for This 
			Moment," based on Acts 2:38-39. This theme was chosen to build on 
			the 2013 synodical convention theme in an effort to get schools 
			involved with the convention theme early in the year. | 
		
            |  As explained in a release from the school: "Our sins are forgiven 
			in the death and resurrection of Jesus. We have received the gift of 
			the Holy Spirit. We can say, with Luther, ‘I am baptized’ and know 
			that ‘all is well’ and God will never forsake us (AE 6:365). In 
			strength given by the Spirit we bear witness of Christ's victory 
			over death. God's promises are sure. With compassion that comes from 
			the mercy we have received in Christ, we bind up wounds and bring 
			living hope in Jesus. Baptized into His body, we live together in 
			love, reflecting Christ's love for us." Information on National Lutheran Schools Week is available at
