TSJ students received a royal welcome back to school!

Students at Trinity-St. John Lutheran school were welcomed back by Pastors Mueller and Kotila and the TSJ staff on their first day of school, Tuesday, August 16, 2016. Even those students who may have been reluctant to start back to school were excited to receive such a warm welcome.  The pastors welcomed each student with horn blowing and high fives.  The staff was present to greet theThtudents as they continued into the school following the red carpet.  We pray that God will continue to bless the students, parents, and staff of Trinity-St. John through out the school year.
