MOST PREP SAT CLASS
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.

Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace be to this house!” (Luke 10:5)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Worry injects something toxic in this little word called missions. Somewhere it stopped being about helping other people, and started being about making sure we survive or making sure the institution survives. Missions becomes the measurement of health in a church, so we count people, volunteers, money, programs, technology, kids. Usually we’re convinced we need more. It leads to a kind of desperation that’s hard to be anything but selfish. It’s hard to think about my neighbor’s daily bread when I’m starving. It’s hard to think about the well-being of the so-called lost when you think the so-called found are about to go under. We paint a picture of a church on the brink of extinction, complain about it, then act shocked when nobody else wants to join us.
This is who Christ sends the 72 out to. It wasn’t different then. Same fears, same selfishness, same idolatry, same sin. He’s still sending. And we’re still more focused on what we don’t have than what we do. The kingdom of God has come near. Jesus didn’t send the 72 because He was too busy. It wasn’t because He wanted to be farther from the people, but closer to them. Look. Listen. See. Taste. Your God is not far away. In Word, in Sacrament, He brings that gift to you. He who went to the cross for you sends His servants to bring You to Him. He gives them simple words to speak that do the very things they say. It’s the sign of a healthy church.
Peace is not measured in stuff, but in the blood of the Lamb of God who takes away sin of the world. There’s Jesus here. His kingdom has come near you. His peace is with you. Really here. Really for you, when everything else falls apart. When everything else is devoured. Christ will feed you, too. And this is real healing. We’ll abide now in a land of not enough, because Christ speaks peace to us here. And that’s enough. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Harrison Goodman
Here a maid was found with child, Yet remained a virgin mild. In her womb this truth was shown: God was there upon His throne. (Savior of the Nations, Come, LSB 332:3)
