The Perry's Are Here to Stay!
We are grateful our Lord has lead Mr. and Mrs. Perry to continue serving God here at Salem. Let us pray together for continued blessing on their family and ministry.
The following is the letter from Mr. and Mrs. Perry returning their Call to Serve at Trinity Lutheran School in Jenera, Ohio.
Dear Members of Trinity Lutheran Church,
We are writing to inform you that after much prayerful consideration on how we can best serve our Lord, we have decided to return our calls to serve at Trinity. We are very thankful for your many prayers and words of encouragement. We are thankful for the time you took to answer our questions and we feel blessed to have learned more about your congregation and ministry at Jenera. Our prayers, and those of our family, are with you as you continue to share God’s Word.
Our ministry at Salem is where we feel we belong at this time and we know that the Lord will continue to bless both congregations. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers and God Bless your continued work in His Kingdom.
In Christ’s Service,
Anthony and Pamela Perry

Lydia Atkins and Grace Steiger have both been accepted into The Shiawassee Scholars Program! We are so proud of their hard work and dedication.
The Shiawassee Scholars program will provide the resources and support to:
- Pursue their intellectual curiosity
Apply for a competitive scholarship to explore a field of interest they are enthusiastic about
Develop a level of comfort and acceptance of their intelligence
Recognize academic, personal or social challenges and develop strategies to overcome them
Earn a GPA of 3.7 or above

The Shiawassee Scholars Program requires a student be enrolled full-time at a public high school in Shiawassee County. Scholars are selected based on their SAT reading and math score in their 8th grade year.
As a Shiawassee Scholar you may request a scholarship that offers academically talented students an opportunity to further explore a career path or advanced study in a particular discipline.
Dedication Sunday
That day God gave us the enormous blessing of filling up our new worship space to capacity with some people standing outside in the doorway to hear the Word. Our congregation responded to the need for helping hands by pitching in with cleaning up the construction dust and dirt, preparing decorations, bringing food for a potluck, public Bible readings, ushering and set-up. We had a pinata (made by a young woman in the church) and Easter egg hunt for the kids. Local ex pats from Canada (James and Elizabeth) made a cross banner with Luther's seal in the middle. Also, Jerry played a song on electric piano and sang. It was great to see all the participation that welcomed the community to our new church.
The biggest blessing of God’s grace was that the Easter message of the resurrection of the dead in Christ to eternal life made it to the ears of nearly 120 people, many of whom were first-time visitors. Additionally, a baptism coincided with our Easter celebration!
We’re calling this “Dedication Sunday #1.” It’s normal here to move in and start using a church building once the basics are done, even well before the finishing touches -- So we’re in! And we’re completely out of the old rental space, with the exception of the apartment.
There will be a “Dedication Sunday #2” when more of the details are done. Please stay tuned for announcements through the newsletter and Facebook page of Costa Maya Ministries so you can find out more and possibly join us in Mahahual.
We thank the many supporters who have brought us to this day under God’s guidance and direction. Pray that the Lord gives us wisdom to use the space in the best way to bring the gospel to Mahahual! ~Meghan Mortenson
