THE WONDERFUL
FOOLISHNESS OF GOD
Jews demand miraculous signs and
Greeks look for wisdom, but we
preach Christ crucified: a stumbling
block to Jews and foolishness to
Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both
Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the
wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser
than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is
stronger than man’s strength. (1 Corinthians 1:22-25).
In our hyper-sensitive and hyper-critical world it is no
wonder that the message of the cross is despised,
ridiculed, and ignored. Of the more than 4,000
organized religions around the world, Christianity stands
alone in that a god – the only True God – comes to
people with the free offer of the forgiveness of sins. All
people, whether they acknowledge it or not, are
“spiritual” and “religious.” And all people by nature,
including us and our teens, loathe the concept that we
are indeed sinners and on our own are helpless before
the true God who really does demand perfection. It is
that simple, beautiful, and “foolish” truth that the Son of
God – holy, eternal, and all-powerful – inserted himself
into history to accomplish for us what we could not do
on our own. Then we marvel at the work of the Holy
Spirit who convinces our dead hearts that this message –
so “foolish” to the ears of the world – is true and that it
applies to us. We receive the Gospel by faith, and we
marvel at the beautiful simplicity of it all. Jesus Christ
gave himself up as a perfect sacrifice, acceptable to the
Father, and credited to us who believe.
As we rejoice in our status as God’s children, we are
equipped to serve our teens with this Gospel so that they,
too, grow in their faith. And, as they grow in the
security that comes through Jesus, they will be
motivated to develop and use their talents in service to
him and others and to share their faith with those who so
sadly see the message of Jesus as foolishness.
TUITION ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE
The Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School
Federation recognizes that the cost of Christian
secondary education has the potential of being a
challenge for some families. For that reason they
have established the KML Tuition Assistance
Program which is designed to help families meet
the cost of this great blessing. The monies come
from various donors and foundations, including the
KML Foundation. Applicants may apply online by
going to www.kmlhs.org/tuitionassistance (note
the new web address). Applications must be
submitted no later than March 15. The Finance
Committee will determine the assistance
distribution by mid April. Feel free to contact Jody
Hansen, Business Manager, at 262-677-4051,
ext. 1109 if you have any questions.
FEBRURARY OFFICE HOURS
KML will be closed for Winter Break on Monday,
February 18. The office will be open that day from
9:00 - 1:00. Regular office hours of 7:15 - 3:45 will
be maintained for all other week days throughout
the month.
KML INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
The International Program is on the search for new
host families for next year. There are many
common questions families have before choosing
to host: What is expected of me? How well can the
students speak English? What are the financial
arrangements with the students. Find the answers to
these questions and more at our website:
kmlhs.org . Find us under the "Admissions" tab.
More questions? Contact Wendy Robinson at

“Training teens and others to walk in the cross of Christ” Celebrate Reach Outfit Share Service
I Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
The Cross Trainers have been putting their God-given talents to use this first semester of the school year. From
peer mentoring to community outreach planning it has been a joy to watch these students put their faith into action.
KML is developing servant leaders through this circle of ministry.
Currently, we are excited about the upcoming mission trips to take place in the spring of this year. We are planning
on sending out approximately 33 students and 9 chaperones to the following home mission congregations:
Victory of the Lamb – Katy, Texas
Amazing Love – New Lenox, Illinois
Amazing Grace – Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Beautiful Savior – Clarksville, Tennessee
Saving Grace – Mobile, Alabama
King of Kings – Alexandria, Louisiana
The dates of these trips will be March 20-26. Pray for these students and chaperones as they serve the Lord in a
variety of ways. If you are interested in helping defray transportation costs and sponsor these trips, please contact
Mr. Mark Heckendorf [email protected] or 677-4051 ext. 1160. We thank you for your support of
KML and the Cross Trainer ministry!
