It's an annual tradition! We are celebrating National Lutheran School's Week (Jan 22 through 26) and kicking off our District's annual Hearts 4Jesus fundraising campaign. This year the benefactor of Hearts for Jesus is the Lutheran Special Education Ministries. Most schools are not as blessed as we are at Faith Lutheran - They do not have a Mark 10:14 program and most of them don't even have Resource services full time on their campus. Teachers from LSEM drop by and help students throughout Lutheran Schools all over the country! To kick start our efforts, we are bringing back the annual PENNY WAR!! Every day during National Lutheran Schools Week, the "jugs" will be set up in the lunch room. Remember pennies add positive points while silver coins or paper bills are negative points. The idea is to sabotage the other grades so your grade can win! Put pennies in your grade's jug and silver and paper in the other grade's jugs. Let's see how much money we can raise for Lutheran Special Education Ministries and have a little competitive fun doing it! Bless you for helping the district raise funds so schools throughout NV, CA and AZ can have access to special resources! (1/26)

Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org

DEVOTIONAL
Put on the Garment of Praise
and provide for those who grieve in Zion -- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3
Praise works like a magnifying glass. It causes what you’re focusing on to get bigger, to be ‘magnified’. The Psalmist said, ‘Magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears’ (Psalm 34:3-4). It’s a mistake to wait until you’ve no problems, fewer problems, or your problems are solved before you praise the Lord. Praise is one of the great scriptural keys to problem-solving because it gets your focus on God, the problem solver. Charles Spurgeon said: ‘My happiest moments are when I am worshipping God, really adoring the Lord Jesus Christ...In that worship I forget the cares of the church and everything else. To me it is the nearest approach to what it will be in heaven.’ God has promised you ‘the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness’. It works like this. When you begin to praise Him with a heavy heart, you experience a new sense of hope and joy. Through worship you are reminded that God is bigger than the situation you face; that He’s not only capable of managing your concerns but willing, wanting, and waiting to. The psalmist wrote: ‘Seven times a day I praise You’ (Psalm 119:164). Fill your day with praise. Don’t just take coffee breaks and tea breaks, take ‘praise breaks’. Begin to praise God for two things: 1) His attributes. His power, love, grace, favor, guidance, etc. 2) His acts. Recall His goodness to you. Go ahead; take off the spirit of heaviness and put on the garment of praise.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I praise You for all You do in, with and through me - and many times in spite of me! That is something I praise You for! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, I praise You for all You do in, with and through me - and many times in spite of me! That is something I praise You for! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
