MLS Children’s Theatre: Michigan Lutheran Seminary is pleased to present its 2026 children’s theatre production, The Enchanted Bookshop by Todd Wallinger. Performances will be held at 6:30 PM on Saturday, March 14th, and at 3:00 PM on Sunday, March 15th. This production is free and open to the public.
The newest digital devotion book, from Martin Luther College, contains a devotion for each day of Holy Week, March 29th - April 5t. Walk with us through one of the Christian church’s earliest creeds ever written, 1 Corinthians 15:3-11. Through eight devotions, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we will meditate on the historical foundation and testimony of Christ’s death and resurrection. Each step of te creed reveals both the humility of Christ’s cross and the certainty of his empty tomb. Join us as we explore out hearts for the cross and empty tomb, truths of first importance.
MLS will not be offering any printed booklets for Holy Week. Instead, we can access these devotions easily and conveniently using digital formats, beginning March 23rd. Request that they send the devotions to your personal email on a daily basis, Pal, Sunday to Easter. In the email, you will receive the written devotion and the link to an audio recording by the author. Visit: www.mlc-wels.edu/publications/seasonal-devotions/#email to register.Our Easter for Kids event is Saturday, March 21st and we need donations for our Egg Hunt. We are asking for bags of “individually wrapped" candy (please, no chocolate) or monetary donations. Monetary donations may be made using the envelopes marked “Candy Donation” on the hall table outside the church office. Candy may be brought to the church or school office. Donations are needed by March 13th. Thank you!
