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
Daily Lectionary: Job 33:1-18; John 10:22-42
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” (John 10:27-30)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Good Shepherd comes to speak to you. He has not come to persuade you that He is worth following. He does not come to convince you to elect Him as your shepherd. He comes to reveal to you that God always preserves you even though you never notice it or offer thanks and praise to Him.
Only the faithfulness of Christ to His promise secures you as a lamb of His flock. He does this by removing faith from where it does not belong, and placing it upon Him as the proper and only place of true, saving faith. Now when the sheep hear the voice of Jesus, it is revealed that He carries them and leads them by His strong hand: forgiveness, life, and eternal salvation. If it is not God’s strong hand, if His reward is not already with Him, if there is still something we must do to be welcomed into the sheepfold, then we run endlessly back and forth between pride and despair. Pride, because we don’t doubt that we deserve to be a part of the flock. Despair, because all we do is doubt that we belong there. But faith is never comingled with pride or despair. Faith clings to Christ. It is created and sustained by the Spirit of the One who promises He will never leave us or abandon us to the law and death.
The world is shocked by the fact that God’s promise is so certain. The world lives on a tightrope which is stretched between pride and despair. The Church lives upon the words and work of God, and Her reward is already with Him, who gently gathers and freely carries us into His kingdom of grace forever. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen
As true as God’s own Word is true, Not earth nor hell’s satanic crew Against us shall prevail. Their might? A joke, a mere facade! God is with us and we with God – Our victory cannot fail. (O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe, LSB 666:3)
