At Faith Lutheran High School, we have been blessed to provide devices for students to use while at Faith and to offer them, upon graduation, to students that have been here for the full 4 years. We also allowed seniors who have been here for less than 4 years to purchase the school’s laptop. This will be changing this year.
This year Apple has changed the MacBook Air line up and because of these changes wewill need to modify expectations on the way we sell MacBook Air to seniors.
In the past, seniors could purchase their laptops if they had been at faith less than 4 years. Students that have been with Faith the full four years were given the school’s laptop at no cost. This has been changed.
We need to make sure we can support all the future classes of students and the changes we will make to sell laptops will be that we will not sell laptops to students that have been here less than 3 years. If you have been here 3 years or more and less than the full 4 years, the laptop can be purchased for $300 (unless that device is a newer model than what was originally assigned which may be more). Laptops, if found damaged, will incur fees to repair.
We also must state that future offerings to students that are here less than the full 4 years is not a guarantee. We may have to restrict this more in the future.
If you are not a senior completing your full four years and are not returning to Faith, we will not sell the school’s laptop to you.

DEVOTIONAL
The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Do you want the Word of God discerning your thoughts? The intents of your heart? What’s going on in there? Would you want anyone or anything mulling around in there besides you? Consider what the Word of God discerns about your thoughts and intents. Your sins. Your wants. Your desires. What you think and concoct in your head about those around you, even your friends and loved ones. There the Word of God comes and calls it what it is: sin. And the judgment is death.
Left to ourselves this would be our lot: death. By our rejection of God’s Word, we are subject to God’s rejection of us. It is right for Him to cast us away from His presence forever. But He doesn’t. He sends His Son, Jesus, to take away your sins. He discerns those thoughts and intents and then takes them on Himself. He bears them in His body to the tree, and there His blood washes over them giving you eternal redemption before the Father. On the cross He sends out another living and powerful, an alive word which springs forth out of death: “It is finished!” And, by His resurrection, He proclaims another word: “I have conquered sin and death.”
The Lord sends His living and powerful Word to you, too—a Book which is not a dead letter, but a living and active Word to sustain your soul. A living Word combined with water to make you living, in Him. Christ’s own words remove your bonds of sins. He proclaims: “This is My body, given for you; this is My blood, shed for you.” And so it is. All of His Word is living and active for you and is coming to you to make you living and active, in Him. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Preserve Your Word, O Savior, To us this latter day, And let Your kingdom flourish; Enlarge Your Church we pray. O keep our faith from failing; Keep hope’s bright star aglow. Let nothing from truth turn us While living here below. (Preserve Your Word, O Savior, LSB 658:1)
