   Have you ever wondered how to become a KML Builder?  You can become a Builder by setting up a new or increased auto-withdrawal account for at least 12 months.  When you do this, we have a donor that will give $500 to KML!! This is a great way to multiply your gift.  Simply go to www.kmlhs.org/autogift where you can sign up online or print the form and mail it in. The Joyful Noise of your support is building a strong ministry and helping the students build their Christian faith.

= S(ubstitute) C(ash) R(ebate) I(ncentive) P(rogram) =

   Did you know that March 31 is the last day to earn credit toward your student’s 2015-2016 tuition account. Rebates earned after March 31 will then be applied toward the 2016-2017 school year. Purchase KML Scrip for your regular purchases and earn rebates to bring down the cost of tuition. Don’t forget to use scrip on your not-so-regular purchases, too!

   Planning to get away over Spring Break this year. Why not utilize Scrip cards for your hotel, gas, and/or meals. Hotels like Comfort Suites (3-4%), Clarion (3-4%), Hyatt (10%) and Marcus Resorts (9%) can be purchased to help earn money towards your child's tuition. It's a simple way for you to earn a reward while taking your family vacation.

   We still have some small denomination gift cards on hand from Target $10 and Walmart $10.

   For more information visit www.kmlhs.org/scrip.  For questions call 262-677-4051 x1119 or email sc...@kmlhs.org. Scrip Office Hours are: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 - 3. CLOSED TUESDAY.

= THE BIBLE AT THE RIVOLI ON GOOD FRIDAY =

   The Bible's last episode Passion will be shown at the Rivoli in Cedarburg twice on Good Friday, April 3rd, 2015 at 3:00 & 4:30pm.  There will be no cover charge.  This free event, hosted by Our Savior Lutheran in Grafton, is open to the public.  Rated PG-13, the movie is appropriate for families with older children.  Special thanks to the Rivoli for sharing their screen with our communities. You can contact Pastor Mark C. Wagner at 262-377-6363 or oslco...@wi.rr.com with questions.

   The Bible comes to life in this epic series.  From Genesis to Revelation, these unforgettable stories unfold through live action and cutting-edge computer-generated imagery, offering new insight into famous scenes and iconic characters.  Created by producer Mark Burnett and featuring an international cast that includes Roma Downey.  This docudrama explores the sacred text’s most significant episodes. 

   This showing, on Good Friday afternoon, will focus solely on the last episode of the miniseries:  Passion.  In this episode Peter denies Jesus and Judas hangs himself; the crowds clamors for Jesus’s death; Jesus is crucified, but when Mary Magdalene goes to his tomb, a figure walks towards her - he is risen.  John sees the empty tomb and believes that Jesus has come back to life, just as he said.

= MOMS NIGHT OUT =

   Do you know some moms who could enjoy a night out? Your community's moms group? Your church's women's ministry? WELS bloggers from Holy Hen House invite moms to get out of the house on Friday, April 17th and join them at the Grace Center, downtown Milwaukee. “Out of the Nest,” a “feather-ruffling moms’ night out” includes stand up comedy, encouraging words, professional photography, live music, vendor booths, and giveaways.  For more information, visit www.holyhenhouse.com/out-of-the-nest-event-and-ticket-sales.
