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
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. (Ezekiel 37:10)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. To prophesy is to preach. The prophet Ezekiel was called by God to speak God’s Word—and to speak it with authority. It wasn’t Ezekiel’s own word, but God’s Word, given to him by the hand of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord (Ezekiel 37:1).
God’s Word is effective. It performs the very thing it says. Even dry bones cannot help but obey. In this vision, the dry bones come back together, are covered with sinews and flesh and skin. But they are not yet alive.
It’s not until Ezekiel prophesies to the breath. In the Hebrew language, the word for breath (ruach) is the same as the word for Spirit. So it’s not only that these breathless bones begin to breathe again; the prophecy, that is, the preaching of Ezekiel, gives them God’s Spirit. It’s not just that they live; they are brought to life.
But this is just a vision that Ezekiel receives. It’s a sign of something that’s to come. Yesterday Jesus appeared to His disciples and breathed on them and gave them the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the new Ezekiel, who gives the Spirit with His Absolution.
So when you hear these words: “I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit,” they aren’t empty, dry words. They are living words that give life. They are words of resurrection.
“Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord” (Ezekiel 37:12-14). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
O Spirit, who didst once restore Thy Church that it might be again The bringer of good news to men, Breathe on Thy cloven Church once more, That in these gray and latter days There may be those whose life is praise, Each life a high doxology To Father, Son, and unto Thee. (O God, O Lord of Heaven and Earth, LSB 834:4)
