Beginning in 1972, Lutheran Elementary Schools in Michigan have gathered their February chapel offerings and designated them for a ministry selected by the District. Over the years, students have given over 1.8 million dollars to numerous causes. Ministries selected are based on the following three criteria:

  1. The ministry allows children to minister to children. (What Lutheran students do here makes a difference in a child’s life through the chosen ministry.)
  2. An educational component is involved. Michigan District children learn about another part of the world, its people, and their customs.
  3. It furthers the Kingdom of Christ. We will work with LCMS or non-LCMS ministries. We can focus on the state, country, or globally, but will not support a ministry that preaches salvation other than through Christ Jesus. Consideration will be given to regularly include LCMS ministries in the rotation.

Ministries selected must provide a publicity package and share their information in a short presentation at the August Principals’ Conference currently held at Higgins Lake, Michigan. Contact Travis Grulke or at 888.225.2111 for more information.
