Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 1 session of online Health begins January 14. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this link by Friday January 4 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dEJZNUFJWENFaTBlYW83cHBnNzdxcmc6MQ. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2018-2019 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit by the state. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions. (1/4)

DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 40:18-41:10; Revelation 8:1-13
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Are you afraid? Dismayed? Afraid of what might happen to your friends? On your next test? To your grandma who’s sick? To your parents who don’t get along? Are you burdened by all the bad news you hear every day? Maybe it’s something about your best friend. Maybe it’s a disaster that happened somewhere around the world. There’s plenty going on in your life and around you to remind you that you don’t have much with which to prop yourself up.
That’s why the hand of the Lord upholds you. And it’s not just any hand. It’s God’s hand. A hand with a nail hole in it. A hand that was pierced and fixed to the cross. There’s no suffering you’ve got that Jesus hasn’t gone through and made holy because He’s suffered it, too. But while that might sound nice, it doesn’t always seem to help when you’re weak and dismayed.
That’s why what Jesus accomplished for you isn’t just back then. He keeps giving it out now. That’s why every day you have your Baptism to remember, that the Old Adam is drowned and Jesus has everlasting life for you. That’s why your pastor stands ready to pronounce Absolution to take away your troubled conscience because your sins are gone. That’s why your pastor is always preaching Jesus and His arms outstretched on the cross to pay for your sins, and His pierced hands shown to His disciples when He was alive again on Easter. That’s why there is the Supper of Jesus’ Body and Blood given over and over to strengthen you in the faith.
The world is pretty good at knocking you down. Jesus is immeasurably better at picking you up and placing you with Him in the highest places. Over and over His gifts are for you to remind you that He has overcome the world. There just isn’t anything that can get you down for good. The hand of God is the hand of Jesus which was pierced for you and with which He upholds you and keeps you safe from everything. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Bruise for me the serpent’s head That, set free from doubt and dread, I may cling to You in faith, Safely kept through life and death. (Let the Earth Now Praise the Lord, LSB 352:5)
