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.

Daily Lectionary: Daniel 1:1-21; Matthew 28:1-20
It works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare. (The Small Catechism: Baptism, Part 2)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Baptism works. It works forgiveness. It works life. It works salvation. The words and promises of God declaring this truth extend far beyond the single verse from Mark 16 that’s included in the catechism’s text. Their thread weaves throughout the Scriptures, first subtly hidden in Old Testament, then revealed in the New.
Jesus, Peter, Paul, and others testify that Baptism is no mere human rite of obedience to God’s command or a symbolic washing that concretely illustrates some abstract cleansing which we receive from the Holy Spirit.
Because it works forgiveness, life, and salvation, Baptism is more than a singular event from earlier days. Yes, you were baptized, whether you remember it or not. You probably received the sign of the cross on heart and head and most have a certificate stating that someone applied water to you by pouring, splashing, dripping, or dunking. There may have been a dinner or a party, even if you were too young to realize what was going on and to enjoy the food and appreciate the gifts.
But you also are baptized. You remain called by water and the Word. You are still the one marked and named by God as one of His own. And if you don’t remember your own baptismal day, He does. He gave you gifts that surpass anything that came from the party, gifts that you’ll never outgrow and that are always exactly what you need. He gave you a new life with eternal salvation and a new name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God’s promises are fulfilled in you as you cling to them. He renews them daily as He forgives your sins and strengthens your faith. He extends them as He leads you to love your neighbor as yourself. And He will complete them when He calls you to leave your grave and enter paradise with Him. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Walter Snyder
Almighty, everlasting God, mercifully behold Your servant whom You have made Your child through Holy Baptism. According to Your grace, grant that Your promises may be fulfilled in me; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (Adapted from Collect at a Baptism)
