Religion
Memory Work for the Week of February 23rd - lyrics from the song "The Fruit of the Spirit" which the students will sing in church on Sunday, March 8th to begin Lutheran Schools' Week:

Tuesday (First and Second)
Have you seen His face and the look He gave
To the dying man He alone would save?
"Sinner, here's my love.  Sinner, take my love,
As the tree bears fruit for you."

Thursday (First and Second)
Can we answer Him?  Can the heart reply?
How to follow Him as we live and die!
"Jesus, here's our love.  Jesus, take our love,
As the tree bears fruit for you."
