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
Daily Lectionary: Exodus 25:1-22; Luke 5:17-39
You shall not misuse the name of the Lord, your God. (Small Catechism: Second Commandment)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. When Moses asked for God’s name, he got a peculiar response. “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ And he said, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: “I AM has sent me to you”’” (Exodus 3:14). “I AM” is, technically speaking, a complete sentence with a subject and a predicate, but it doesn’t really say a lot. I am…what?
But then again, it says everything about who God is. He is the One who is, the One who exists. Everything that is, exists because God is. All being is finally in the One whose name is a form of the verb “to be.” If it exists, it’s because it comes from the One who exists.
That still doesn’t tell us much about God in relation to us. But then something happens in John’s Gospel. Jesus starts to fill in the gaps. “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35). “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). “I am the one who bears witness about myself” (John 8:18). “I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7). “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11). “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). “I am the vine” (John 15:5). Jesus is the One who completes the name of God. He is the One who shows you who God is for you.
The Name of God was given to Jesus, and He gives His Name to you. You were baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You wear it on your forehead and on your heart to mark you as His own.
And so you have His Name, not to curse, swear, lie, use satanic arts, or deceive others with, but to call upon in every trouble, to pray, praise, and give thanks. A prayer in Jesus’ Name is a prayer of Jesus Himself. The Father will certainly listen to His own Son, and He will listen to all who bear the Name of the Son. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Lord Jesus, You have given us Your holy and precious name in the waters of Holy Baptism. Thank You for calling us Your own, and for revealing Your Father to us, and calling us children of God. We confess that we do not use Your name as we ought; we curse, swear, and lie, even as we neglect to pray, praise, and give You thanks. Forgive us and do not deny our prayer because of our sins. Return us once again to our Baptism, to die to our sins, to rise to new life, and to call upon Your holy name, the name in which we pray. Amen.
