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.

Seniors and your laptops.
ALL senior laptops must turned in and will be wiped clean. If you do not have your laptop checked and wiped, by our IT department, you will not receive your diploma. Even if you had re-imaged recently it will need to be wiped again.
We are thrilled to offer those seniors that have been here at Faith for the full 4 years, the ability to keep your laptop at no charge. We will need to wipe and re-image your laptop (all your information will be gone). We HIGHLY recommend making a backup (using Time Machine, Google Docs, or another backup device) of important data or photos. If you do not know how to do that or need information on options, please come to the library and visit the tech support room before it needs to be turned in. If you bring your external drive with you, we will be glad to show you how to get your data saved and put back on the laptop. Also if you do not want your laptop, consider donating it and leaving it with us. We take your old laptop, refurbish it, and donate it to less fortunate schools, churches, shut-ins, elderly, and other organizations. It is a way to bless others. Just let us know at check-in what you would like to do.
If you have been here 3 years, but less than the full 4 years, you have the option to purchase the laptop for $300. Your laptop will need to be re-imaged.
This offer to purchase your device will not be offered to any other grade or if you have been here less than 3 years it is not an option.
When should you turn the laptop in? After the last final test or as soon as you do not need it, but before graduation!
If I get to keep or if I purchase the laptop, how long before I get it back? The turnaround is 1 - 4 business days. It will be wiped and all data on it will be gone. The laptop cannot be put back on our network once it is wiped. The sooner you bring it in, the better the chance you will miss the last minute rush.
Can I send my younger sibling in to pick up my laptop? No, it needs to be picked up by you. (If you make prior arrangements, we can get authorization for another person to pick up your laptop).
Is there any warranties or guarantees with this laptop? There is not. It is sold as is and we do not offer any warranty or guarantees with your laptop.
AGAIN! ALL senior laptops must be checked in and wiped. If you do not have your laptop checked and re-imaged, by our IT department, you will not receive your diploma.

DEVOTIONAL
“They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.”(Isaiah 40:31)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. My church is full of children between the ages of 2 and 8. You can see and hear them squirming throughout the Divine Service. As soon as the organist begins to play the postlude, the children burst out of their pews. For the next hour they will run, jump, and shout. Often the elderly say that they miss having that kind of energy.
“Even youths shall faint and be weary,” (Isaiah 40:30 ESV). Yes, even the energy of children has a limit. For example, my three-year-old daughter is full of energy, but lays limp and silent on the couch whenever she gets sick. The fever saps her of her strength and she becomes faint.
Isaiah says that God is not like human beings. He never grows faint, never grows tired, and never becomes weak. The nation of Judah was stripped of her power by Babylon, and the Israelites felt weary and burdened while laboring in Babylon. They were helpless, but thankfully Yahweh is their Helper. He has unlimited power and strength, which He will use to strengthen and empower His people (Isaiah 40:28-29).
Of course, this will happen in God’s own time. The Israelites must wait, but Isaiah promises that those who wait on the Lord will be renewed!
We are like the Israelites. We live in Babylon (i.e. the world). The temptations, the persecution, the diseases, and death make us weary and faint. We know that Jesus will rescue us. He laid down His life for us, after all. He won’t abandon us. We know that He will return…eventually. Still, it is hard to wait, isn’t it?
The Word, the Sacrament, the prayers and presence of fellow believers, and the liturgy help us to wait. They are given to encourage us with the Lord’s promises. We are reminded to wait for the Lord, for He will come back and fill us with His own strength. He will make our bodies immortal and our hearts immovable. Sin and death will never make us weary or faint again! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
O God, by the patient endurance of Your only-begotten Son You beat down the pride of the old enemy. Help us to treasure rightly in our hearts what our Lord has born for our sakes that, after His example, we may bear with patience those things that are adverse to us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. (Prayer for Patience, LSB p. 312)
