In this Life Together Digest, the Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), highlights National Lutheran Schools Week (NLSW), set for Jan. 21–27, 2024.

NLSW provides the Synod’s 1,800-plus preschools, elementary schools and high schools with the opportunity to proclaim and celebrate God’s work in Christ in Lutheran schools. “As the world becomes crazier and crazier … what you all provide is a sane, biblical view of human reality,” Harrison says. “All are invited for forgiveness and grafted, connected, to the Vine.”
