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
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. (James 1:17-18)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. He created the sun to rise and set, the moon to wax and wane, and the stars to move across the heavens.
How different is the Creator of these lights! His grace doesn’t rise only to set a little later. His faithfulness doesn’t wax and wane. His love isn’t always moving, always changing, here today and gone tomorrow. Our Lord is not fickle. His love is eternal and He never breaks a commitment. You can depend on the Lord always!
It is the Creator of the heavenly lights who created the Church. He brought us into being by the word of truth. In other words, He gave us new life through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who was crucified for us and raised for our salvation.
For what purpose did He bring us forth? He brought us forth by means of the Gospel so that we could be the firstfruits of His creatures. Normally the risen Jesus is called the firstfruits, but here James applies that terminology to you. God is restoring His creation, beginning with humanity. The Christian Church is the beginning of the New Creation!
And you can be sure that the work begun by God will be brought to its completion. You can be sure that your regeneration will be completed on the Last Day, that your body will be raised from the dead and that your soul will be purged of sin. You can be sure that the whole earth will be renewed and that you will live in it forever.
You can be sure of that because your God isn’t fickle. He gave you His promise in Baptism and He always keeps His promises. He won’t change His mind. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Preserve, O Lord, Your Zion, Bought dearly with Your blood; Protect what You have chosen Against the hellish flood. Be always our defender When dangers gather round; When all the earth is crumbling, Safe may Your Church be found. (Preserve Your Word, O Savior, LSB 658:3)
