NEWSIES AUDITIONS DEC 17-20.

Time to get ready for the next MS Musical!!

There will be a signup outside of my room... portable 58 -- not as cool as Moodle, but crusader connect doesn't work as well. Stop by and sign up-- if you don't we will have a wait line for people that just walk up but this way you can schedule something and not be waiting forever.

Please be advised that Dance Team is the only team that works with us in our rehearsal schedule. If you are in basketball or cheer, sorry -- we cannot cast you -- you have already made that team. Track and spring sports don't affect us too much -- but we do get first dibs on your time... ask Mr. Elliott if you need more clarification on this.

PLEASE - make sure your audition form is filled out before you come to the audition. It helps move things along. Mr. Elliott will send them to you if you sign up or if you ask for it.

The schedule for auditions so you know how it works

DEVOTIONAL

Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 29:1-14; Jude 1-25

“Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.” In the same way also he took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” (The Small Catechism: Sacrament of the Altar, Pt. 2)

In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Sacrament of the Altar is one of those things that Christians can’t seem to agree on. The truth is, problems in the teaching of a church about the Sacrament of the Altar can all be solved and answered by Jesus’ words.

First of all, some churches give Communion to everyone. But the Words of Institution remind us that it was first given to Jesus’ disciples. Disciples are those who hear and learn God’s Word, not just anyone who walks in off the street.

Some churches don’t give the Blood of Christ to everyone, just the minister. But Jesus’ words answer that, too: “Drink of it, ALL of you.” Both His Body and His Blood are given to be eaten and drunk by ALL.

Some churches claim that the Lord’s Supper is merely a memorial meal in which we think about Jesus; the bread and wine are merely symbols of Jesus in some way. The Words of Jesus put that to rest: “This IS my body; this IS my blood.” That’s what it is because it is the Lord who says it.

But the one thing in common with many of these various false teachings of the Sacrament is they teach that the Lord’s Supper is something we do. It’s our sacrifice offered to God. It’s an obligation we must fulfill. The Lord’s words answer that, too. “Given and shed for you for the FORGIVENESS OF SINS.” The Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood is a gift from the Savior who was crucified and risen for you. His Words make it clear that this holy gift is given for your forgiveness, life, and salvation. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, You have prepared This feast for our salvation; It is Your body and Your blood, And at Your invitation As weary souls, with sin oppressed, We come to You for needed rest, for comfort and for pardon. (Lord Jesus Christ, You Have Prepared, LSB 622:1)
