CARDINAL NEWS
Professor James Wooster
Retires
For 21 years, Professor James
Wooster has served as Professor
of sciences, coach, Fine Arts
Fair coordinator, Sight and
Sound director, AV coordinator
and recently as Arbor Day
coordinator on the campus of
MLS.
He has served another 21 years
in ministry elsewhere for a
total of 42 years in the public
ministry. Officially at the end
of June, he has now retired from
the public ministry. Filling his
shoes will be a challenge for
MLS and we are grateful that he
may be in the area to help with
a few things on campus yet.
However, he and his wife Gayle
are looking to relocate closer
to family in the not too distant
future.
MLS is grateful to God for the
faithful service of this humble
servant of his during these
many years of ministry. May
the Lord now bless him also in
his retirement.
9 SUMMER 2017 ~ CARDINAL CONNECTION
TOMORROW’S MINISTRY BEGINS HERE
This is the title of the silent campaign that the Ministry of Christian Giving
will be conducting on behalf of MLS during the 2017-2018 school year.
Tomorrow’s Ministry Begins Here is a reminder of the
importance of our prep schools in the process of training
young men and women for the public ministry of the
WELS. This campaign will be seeking individual gifts to
help MLS continue to carry out the purpose it has been
given by our synod for over 100 years: to begin the
training of boys and girls for continuation at the college
and seminary level in the future. This campaign will be
seeking gifts that will be used for financial aid, capital
projects and to build up reserves to help bolster the MLS
financial position. If the Lord has so blessed you with
the heart and ability to be part of this campaign, please
contact your district Ministry of Christian Giving
counselor or call MLS at 989-793-1010.
MLS LOCK-IN
How would you get all the area grade school
students to come to MLS to see what a great place
this would be to attend high school? One way that
the admissions department has found to be a great
success is a Lock-In. Beginning on a Friday evening
and going until the wee hours of Saturday morning,
MLS has invited 5-8 grade students to come and enjoy
games, food, fellowship, worship and even some
sleep at this all-night event run by MLS students.
For three years now almost 200 students have been
on our campus for this great night of fun. After it
is over, everyone is fairly tired to be sure, but the
memories are great. And for some, attending MLS
has become a much greater possibility.
