Teacher Call News

  • On Dec 2 Mr Hallwas received a call to teach 3-5 and be the principal at Emmanuel Lutheran School in Tawas City, MI.

  • On Dec 16 Miss Ehrenberg received a call to be the director of St John Lutheran Childcare Center in Jefferson,  WI.

    Please keep both teachers in your prayers as they decide where they can put their talents to use.

Remember that neither teacher reached out for these positions.  They weren’t looking for or applying for new jobs. They were picked by the congregation because their needs matched our teachers’ strengths.

If you have any questions about these calls or have any thoughts you would like to share with either Mr Hallwas or Miss Ehrenberg, do not hesitate to reach out.  They would both be happy to hear from you.

More Teacher Call News

On Monday, voters from St. Paul and Trinity extended a call to Ms. Angela Hintz to be the 3-5 grade teacher at St. Paul. Angela currently serves at Emmaus Lutheran School in Phoenix, AZ.

Please keep Angela and Emmaus in your prayers as she deliberates this call.
