The March 15 worship service at Immanuel Lutheran was led by El- der Topher Dohl. The opening hymn Public Notice was “God So Loved The World.” Following the invocation, confes- sion and absolution and introit, “Amazing Grace” was sang. Mike Keehn, elder, read the Old Testament lesson from Numbers chapter 21 and the Epistle lesson, Ephesians chapter 2. Topher Dohl read the Holy Gos- Public Notice pel from John 3:14-21. The sermon hymn was “The Lamb.” In the sermon, “Saved by Grace,” the congregation learned definitions of grace: “undeserved mercy” and “God’s riches at Christ’s expense.” Lent is a time to recall what Christ did to give us God’s riches of for- giveness and eternal life. John 3:16 is the awesome message of the Gospel in a nutshell. Grace is God’s voluntary and loving favor given to those He saves. We can’t earn salvation, nor do we deserve it. No religious, intellectual or moral effort can gain it, because it comes from God’s mercy and love. Be reminded of what god did for you Special board meeting is set

Coming up on Monday, the Holton school board will reconvene for a special meeting to address plans on how to use any potential E-Rate funding the district may receive in the upcoming school year. At recent meetings, technology di- rector Tom Sextro has presented the board with some options for what projects to address and pursue E- Rate funding for in the district. One of the biggest projects on the radar, reportedly, is the need for hardware and software in the new elementary building. Going through E-Rate would de- fray some of the costs for technology set aside in the bond, but that is not the only building with technology needs. The board will discuss those needs on Monday and discuss which E-Rate applications and contracts to approve.

Rhett Murphy, who was diagnosed with mosaic Fragile X in 2004, was recently among those attending the 12th annual National Fragile X Foundation’s Advocacy Day in Washington D.C. Murphy is the middle child of Ja- son and Christina Murphy of Holton. He is 13 and attends Holton Middle School. Fragile X is a genetic condition that causes intellectual disability, behavioral and learning challenges. Disabilities include a range from moderate learning disabilities to 6 more severe intellectual disabilities. Murphy was accompanied to D.C. by his mother and grandmother, Nancy Schlodder. There were 200 advocates from across the coun- try present at Advocacy, which is a record number of self-advocates. There were nine advocates from the Kansas Fragile X Support Group in attendance. Murphy represented and spoke for children and individuals with Fragile X across the nation. He also explained to each member of Con- gress, as well as other parents and advocates, that he is a seventh-grade STUCO representative at Holton Middle School. The support he has received from his teachers and classmates through- out his school years has been amaz- ing and appreciated, his family said. He suffers and overcomes adversi- ty on a daily basis due to his Fragile X Syndrome. He had to overcome many obstacles just to participate in the Advocacy Day. Every part of the process was com- pletely new for him. From airport se- curity to his first plane ride to meet- ing other self-advocates, attending training and speaking to congress- men and senators. He overcame his anxiety and went through airport security and experienced his first plane ride. He overcame his uncomfortableness in large groups to participate in an six-hour training as an active partici- pant where he had to practice what he would say in front of a group of AREA CHURCH DIRECTORY 10 people all while being in a room Please report any changes in service or personnel to the Recorder at 364-3141.
