MASTER ACT- Summer Theatre Camp is now accepting application! This year's theme is MAGIC MASTER ACT (Aka: Harry Potter). Email Mr. Ball for an application or more info ErikBall123@Gmail.com
 
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 we  will 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: Genesis 22:1-19; Mark 7:1-23
3. Are you sorry for your sins? Yes, I am sorry that I have sinned against God.
4. What have you deserved from God because of your sins?
His wrath and displeasure, temporal death, and eternal damnation. See Romans 6:21, 23. (The Small Catechism: Christian Questions 3-4)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. I’ve got nothing, Jesus, nothing to cling to but you. I’ve got nothing to hold up before you, nothing to trust in but your Lent for me. I’ve got nothing that would make me worthy.
I’m sorry. I also know I’m not sorry enough! I truly am sometimes “Sorry, not sorry.” I want to be completely sorry. I just keep wanting to stick my toe in my sins and see how they feel. I wish I didn’t fall back into my sins. I don’t know why I do. I’m awful.
I want to do good. I need to do good. Yet, all I seem to do over and over is evil. I can’t seem to stop, even though I am desperate to stop. I just keep running roughshod over all the commandments.
I know what I deserve. Thank God you tell me what I deserve! Otherwise I’d just keep thinking that everything is alright. I know from what you’ve told me in church and from the Bible that I deserve hell. I’ve earned my death and my grave. There’s no part of me that doesn’t deserve to be punished. Without you, all of me is going to go to hell.
Jesus. I need Jesus! I desperately need Jesus to be my Lent and my Easter and everything in between. I need Him to have mercy on me. I need Him to forgive me. I need Him to knock me down when I’m full of myself and to pick me up and carry me when I fall.
I’m eternally broken. I’ve got nothing left in my spiritual tank and nothing left to give to others. I’m just empty and all by myself and here without a purpose. You alone are my purpose and my reason for being.
Jesus’ Cross is my death. His resurrection must be my forgiveness before God. He’s my only hope, my only Savior, my only rescue. I am done doing this on my own. I need Him to be my Jesus.
The only hope I have was washed down my forehead in Baptism. The only comfort I have is spoken to me in the word of forgiveness at church. The only thing which satisfies my hunger and thirst for a relationship with God is the Lord’s Body and Blood given for me to eat and drink.
Forgive me. Restore me. Take my inadequate sorry and forgive it. Take my “good” that I have done and absolve it. I know I’m not enough. Please remember Jesus and forget my sins. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
