Pastor Clementson leads us in discussion at Grace Lutheran

Pastor Clementson leads us in discussion for the Grace Lutheran Church adult education hour. This fall we will be discussing "Half Truths," of the Bible by Adam Hamilton.

And, btw, Hezekiah was, "according to the Hebrew Bible, the son of Ahaz and the 13th king of Judah. Archaeologist Edwin Thiele has concluded that his reign was between c. 715 and 686 BC.," according to Wikipedia. He died: 687 BC, Jerusalem, Israel. Just saying.

Carroll Lutheran School, Westminster, Carroll County Md. Hires New Administrator

August 16, 2016

At its August 16, 2016 Board meeting, the Trustees of Carroll Lutheran School voted to give a contract to Mrs. Linda Billig as the Interim Administrator for the 2016-17 school year. Billig holds a Master of Science degree in Educational Leadership as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. She holds certifications as Administrative Principal PK-12, Instructional II Elementary K-6, Student Assistance Program, and Restorative Practices. She also holds certifications as an Emergency Medical Technician and in FEMA All-hazards Safety Training.

Billig was a classroom teacher before becoming the Principal/Administrator of St. Vincent de Paul School in Hanover, PA. Most recently, she served as Dean of Students/Administrator at Delone Catholic High School in McSherrystown, PA.

Billig expressed her love of “private, faith-based education,” and feels “very blessed to be at Carroll Lutheran School.” She told the Board of Trustees that she is “committed to give it my all for the long term.”

Parents are invited to the school to meet Mrs. Billig on Back to School Night, Thursday, September 1, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Parents and students together are invited to meet Mrs. Billig on Friday, September 2, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. before school starts, and of course on Tuesday, September 6, 2016, the first day of school.

Because of her commitments elsewhere for the first two months of the school year, Billig will be assisted in her administrative duties by Mrs. Mandy Gilbart, the Resource Teacher at Carroll Lutheran School.
