Dear St. Luke School Family,

Thank you so much for honoring me at the anniversary of my 25 years in the Lutheran teaching ministry. It has been my joyful and humble pleasure to be able to teach at St. Luke Lutheran School for all 25 years. My greatest delight in the classroom has been the opportunity every day to tell children about their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to be able to keep this as the focus all through the school day, whatever the subject or activity at the time.

Thank you, especially, to the Board of Christian Education for the wonderful reception they provided between and after the services on Sunday, and for the chance to personally greet and visit with so many.

Thank you, St. Luke parents, for the loyalty and support you continually give to all of your teachers and your school. Please keep me and the other staff members in your prayers, as we go about the day-to-day ministry of educating these precious children for whom Jesus died.

Yours faithfully in Christ,

Mary Dahn
