Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear KML Family,

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are reminded of all the blessings that God gives us in our lives. When we pause to reflect we see so many! KML is a place where students thrive as Christ guides them through these important teenage years. We are also grateful for our dedicated teachers and staff, for the friends and families who support this ministry, and for the opportunity to provide our children with a Christian education that prepares them for life and eternity. Together, we form a strong and loving community centered in Christ. To God be glory and thanks for it all! Happy Thanksgiving!

With Gratitude,

Dr. Jamie Luehring, President

Save the Date!

During this season of Thanksgiving, we encourage you to consider a special gift to celebrate 50 Years of God’s grace at KML. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value everyone can act on.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Millions of people all over our country choose to use GivingTuesday as an opportunity to connect to their favorite organizations.

On November 28, GivingTuesday, we pray you will make a connection again to your KML. We give thanks to the Lord for some very generous people who are so excited to support KML that they want to challenge you on GivingTuesday with a gift that will double your impact.

Mark your calendars, spread the word, pray for the Lord’s blessings and stay tuned for details!
