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
For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God. (Job 19:25-26)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Christ is risen! One of the things those who don’t believe in the Bible like to say is that the idea of rising from the dead, the resurrection of the body, is something that only came about with the story of Jesus’ resurrection. Yet Job, in one of the oldest Old Testament books to be written, clearly confesses that He will see His Lord in the flesh, both the Lord’s and his own!
It shouldn’t surprise us that the entire Scriptures point to the promise of the resurrection. Our future as God’s people isn’t some floaty and flighty existence as disembodied spirits on clouds strumming harps. Such pictures and caricatures of heaven are really ridiculous in this respect and don’t teach us the Word of God at all.
No, we believe what we say in the Creed: “The resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.” We believe this because this is how it goes with Jesus. The Son of God took on human nature for Himself and was born of the Virgin Mary, with a body, as we have. He then suffered and died for our sins and rose from the dead. By wiping out our sins and rising again, Jesus has destroyed the curse of death.
Death has been with us since the fall into sin. Nevertheless, it has always been overcome by God’s Word and Promise. Jesus accomplished the saving work of rescuing us from death. Through Baptism and Jesus’ promise to raise up all who eat His Body and drink His Blood, we can say with Martin Luther: “We Christians, who have been redeemed from all this by the dear blood of the Son of God, should by faith train and accustom ourselves to despise death and to regard it as a deep, strong, and sweet sleep, to regard the coffin as nothing but paradise and the bosom of our Lord Christ, and the grave as nothing but a soft couch or sofa, which it really is in the sight of God.” Take that, death! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same; Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives! (I Know That My Redeemer Lives, LSB 461:8)
