HIGH SCHOOL
Congratulations to the following students and teacher for being selected student and teacher for the month of February: Lauraline Lequint and Blake Driscoll teacher: Mr. Heupel
Have you ever dreamed of making a difference in the world on a global scale? Then there is no better opportunity that international service mission trips. Think Kindness has been taking students on service trips all over the globe since 2007. Our trips are arranged by our team right here in Nevada and they give you the chance to change lives on a much larger scale. Think Kindness coordinates trips to Africa, Central America and the Caribbean. Our upcoming trip this summer will be to Ghana, Africa. Students on the trip will live, learn, and serve at the VIMA Children's Home. An orphanage in rural Ghana. The trip will last 10-12 days and is scheduled for the beginning of July. The cost of the trip is $3000 and includes airfare, food, lodging, transportation and excursions while in Ghana. Spots are limited so act fast and be a part of a service trip like you've never thought possible. For more information and to sign up visit http://www.thinkkindness.org/global-volunteer or email or Global Program Coordinator Jimmy Gleich at jimmy@thinkkindness.org

Are you interested in helping? Do you have a passion for philanthropy? The Office of Student Life would like you to consider this:
In an effort to encourage strong values of philanthropy and community involvement among our students, the Faith Lutheran HS Student Leadership Team along with the MS Student Council will select 6 of the 8 charities per academic year that will receive school-wide support. Each charity will be assigned a month (Aug*, Sept, Oct*, Nov, Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb*, Mar/Apr & May) where the Faith Family will be encouraged to contribute to fundraising or collection efforts solicited for that month’s charity. *The council’s have recognized and approved World Vision sponsorships (Aug-HS Only) & Walk for Water (May-HS Only); Operation Christmas Child as a Faith tradition each October/November and the Pacific SW District of the LCMS’ district-wide charity each February, kicking off during NLSW at the end of January.
Selected charitable projects can be combined with the support of interested Honor Societies as charitable projects are required by their charters.
If you would like to submit a charitable organization for consideration of support during the 2020-21 academic year, please fill out the attached form. Forms must be returned to the Office of Student Life no later than April 1, 2020. Forms received after this date will not be considered.
Also attached is the current year's giving plan which includes information to keep in mind when submitting a consideration form for next year's plan.

Unique Service Opportunity:
A local band “THE SENIOR MOMENTS” is looking for some help!
The band performs on a volunteer basis for various Sun City organizations and at retirement homes and similar venues, presenting a one-hour variety show. The sound and related equipment (mic stands, speakers, PA, etc) has become burdensome to lift and move. They are looking for help loading and unloading their equipment for “gigs.” Benefits to student "roadies" include helping to provide free entertainment to other seniors as well as being involved in producing and presenting events. (These are eligible for Community Crusade service hours, too.) Volunteers will be provided a modest tip to cover gas money. The Show dates and times are ongoing with the first show scheduled for March 14, 2020. They are hoping to have a pool of individuals from which to contact as events are scheduled. Please contact Stephen Yohay by cell: 703.407.3003 or by email: scyohay@gmail.com if you are interested.

DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Genesis 32:22-32
Daily Lectionary: Genesis 18:1-15; Mark 6:14-34
Then He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have struggled with God and men and have endured.” (Genesis 32:28)
Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. I struggle with God. I get upset with Him. I get disappointed in what He does and how He does or doesn’t seem to answer my prayers. It ruins the joy of my Lent.
The problem is that God doesn’t do what I want Him to or see things the way I do. He doesn’t give to me like I want Him to. Some of His gifts I’d like to return. His definition of being a good God isn’t mine!
But that’s not God’s problem, it’s my problem. If God did what I wanted when I wanted and how I wanted, He wouldn’t be God. He’d be an idol. Idols are molded and shaped by our desires and wants. They like what we like and don’t like what we don’t like. You’ve heard people’s idols before! They sound like this: “I don’t believe in a god who throws someone into hell or doesn’t like this particular lifestyle.”
This is the sin that I need to confess! I don’t worship a golden calf. It’s far worse than that! My issue is that I don’t believe God is good enough to me and so I make plans accordingly. I doubt that His answers will help me. I despair that He isn’t the God that I need. So I make plans accordingly. If you are honest with yourself, you’ll confess this, too!
God is a big God. He can handle my being grumpy with Him. What does God do? He’s such a big God that He lets me win our wrestling matches together! He fights me, disarms my idols, then lets me hold on to Him and not let Him go. He shows me on the Cross just how good of a God He is for us in Jesus. He suffers defeat to save me!
Jesus’ Lent and Holy Week show us exactly how good God is for us. He didn’t spare His Son in saving us! How much then is He going to take care of our daily needs of body and soul? Will cancer do me in? Will poverty? Will my job? Will that person who I love but doesn’t love me be my end? Not in Jesus! He takes all my struggles and turns them into gifts for me! Even death can’t do me in, Jesus! He’s turned death into a toothless servant who opens the door to heaven for me. In Christ, death is but a nap and I will wake up and have eternal life with Jesus.
Yes, I fight with God. Happily, He lets me win in order save me. He sent His Son. He was crucified. He died. I live in Him forever! You do, too! Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. George Borghardt
