tHE PARKING LOT STORY
Your Lutheran high school is celebrating its 40th Anniversary beginning July 1, 2023. We plan on giving thanks to God for His bountiful blessings all year long! Since classes began in a rented storefront in 1983, 525 graduates have stepped out into the world. On May 28, 2023, 16 more students will receive their diplomas. What does God have planned for all of us? We do know that if we stand on Christ, the Solid Rock, He will take us through storms and we will be with Him at the throne someday. MLHS has weathered many storms in the past 40 years. It is clear that our Lord wants this ministry to succeed.
An interesting scenario is unfolding before us….
1. 2015-an anonymous donor paid to concrete the driveway because he felt first impressions are very important.
2. March 1, 2023-Principal Paul Steinhaus requested that bids be gathered to concrete the parking lot.
3. March 10, 2023, 9:00 a.m.-Contractors were contacted and given general square footage.
4. March 10, 2023, 11:00 a.m.-A $27,000 check arrived from the donor who paid for the 2015 concrete driveway.
5. March 23, 2023-The NLSA Accreditation gave us their final report. They said that the one thing that students and parents said they would like to see improved on is….THE PARKING LOT. (This year was especially difficult with lots of snow, sheets of ice, and deep, muddy ruts which caused problems with the bussing.)
6. April 1, 2023-Notification was received of a $29,830 estate gift coming later in the year which must be used for school needs other than general operating.
7. April 10, 2023-Using the two gifts mentioned above as seed money, the Board of Directors voted to launch the “Christ, the Solid Rock” Parking Lot project.
Goal: $280,466.00 Deadline: July 1, 2023. For Pour Date: August 1, 2023
Gifts of $500 or more will be recognized on signage in the parking lot.
Here is what we are asking of you….
1. Please prayerfully consider what your best gift can be to this extra project, over-and-above the general ministry needs.
2. Send your “Christ, the Solid Rock” gift by U.S. postal to MLHS before July 1, 2023. Click on the "Give Now" button at the bottom of the page .
3. Continue your faithful support of the MLHS ministry.
4. Pray for and advocate on behalf of your Lutheran Jr/Sr High School.
5. Encourage others to give to this project. Please refer us to other individuals or businesses who might give to help us. Your help is needed so that we can pour on August 1st, 2023!
Thank you! Solia deo Gloria!

Just as Noah started building the ark by God’s instructions when not one drop of rain had fallen, MLHS is stepping forward with this project with utter, blind faith. The donor of the first strip of concrete said in 2015, “You only get one chance to make a good first impression.” It is our prayer that instead of seeing a rutted, muddy parking lot with gravel dust gathered at our front door, guests will see an expanse of PRISTINE, SOLID CONCRETE and think “Martin Luther really is a flourishing school.”
