Hearts for Jesus Project
Each year, the Nebraska District chooses a project to support with their prayers and offerings throughout the school year. Schools may send their Hearts for Jesus offerings to the District Office clearly marked as “Hearts for Jesus.”
The projects supported by Hearts for Jesus alternate each year between national missions and missions within the Nebraska District.
All contributions to Hearts for Jesus during the 2022-2023 school year will be used to help support Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Preschool in Winnebago, Nebraska. Nebraska District schools may send their clearly marked “Hearts for Jesus” offerings, as they are accumulated, to: Nebraska District Office, PO Box 407 Seward, NE 68434
In the fall of 1998, Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Preschool in Winnebago opened its doors and invited 3-5 year-olds to come and learn about their Lord and Savior in an educational environment. Mrs. Jana Ingelhart became the first director/teacher and taught for 12 years. In the fall of 2010, Mrs. Sheryl Tietz was chosen to fill the vacancy Mrs. Ingelhart left when she accepted a call to a position at Orphan Grain Train. Mrs. Tietz has just finished her twelfth year at Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Preschool. That means that this fall, we will begin our 25th year of teaching the precious Bible stories, hymns, songs, prayers, the 10 Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, the Apostle’s Creed, Bible verses, and much more about the amazing world God created for us! Praise the Lord! This unique Native American ministry has shared the love of Jesus with nearly 300 students throughout the years.
