MOST PREP SAT CLASSES
Faith Lutheran is proud to announce a new SAT preparation partnership with the founder and president of MostPrep, Mike Obstgarten. He will be running 6-week prep courses at 6:45 to 9:15pm in room 216 for juniors and seniors specifically for the SAT starting this summer for $600. Students interested in prepping for the ACT should still take this course as the exams are now similar enough that specific ACT courses are not necessary. This full-length course provides ample instruction and review of the concepts most
frequently tested on the SAT, as well as the coaching and implementation of the
test-taking techniques that have been proven to work, all while dispelling common
myths and reassuring students that the task in front of them is not as daunting as it
might seem. To sign up please fill out the form at this link a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the class you are interested in. REGISTER The total $600 for the class will be added to your tuition bill once the class has begun. Contact Mr. Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org or Mike directly at mostprep@gmail.comwith questions.

5/26 Review
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
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Wow! Faith in Jesus will cause you to do not only the works that Jesus did, but also greater things? That’s a pretty impressive promise. Jesus did some marvelous things in His ministry on earth. He turned water into wine, healed the sick, raised the dead, walked on water, and multiplied bread to feed thousands. Imagine what those greater things are!
Except there are not a lot of Christians going around doing more impressive miracles than Jesus. What does Jesus mean when He says, “Greater works than these he will do”?
The reason why the believer will do greater works, Jesus says, is because He is going to the Father. This is the phrase He uses to refer to His ascension (see also John 14:28, 16:27). Jesus ascended so He could be with His disciples in a supernatural way, present in His preached Word, in Holy Baptism, and bodily present in the Supper.
These are the greater things, which believers will do. Outwardly, they are not nearly as impressive as turning water into wine, healing the sick, raising the dead, walking on water, or feeding thousands. But that’s why these greater things require faith. Without faith, preaching looks like just another lecture. Holy Baptism looks like plain washing, and the Supper looks like a meal that couldn’t even begin to satisfy the smallest hunger. But these are the greater things that the disciples do, and the greater things that the believer participates in.
Philip wanted to see the Father. His desire is fulfilled in the ministry of the Church. In the Word and Sacraments we encounter Jesus, and through the Son we see the Father. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” says Jesus. “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Almighty God, Your Son revealed Himself to Philip and James and gave them the knowledge of everlasting life. Grant us perfectly to know Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be the way, the truth, and the life, and steadfastly to walk in the way that leads to eternal life; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. (Collect for the Festival of Philip and James).
