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.
Presentations to the HS Student Leadership Team & MS Student Council will be held on April 14 (& 16, if necessary), 2020 during G3.

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: Romans 5:1-5
Not only that but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering brings about endurance, and endurance produces proven character, proven character produces hope. (Romans 5:3-4
Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. There it is! Right there! Thank God for sufferings! Praise God for failures! Sing praise to God for not being able to pay our bills! Jesus loves me because He gave me cancer!
That’s sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Who rejoices in their sufferings? Who gives thanks for being broke? Who calls cancer a “gift”?
That’s your unbelief talking! We call it many names. We will say it’s “delusional” or a “crutch” to speak this way. We may even say that we aren’t being real by thinking this way. No matter what you call it, it’s unbelief and it steals your merriment in Lent and leaves you with despair and doubt. Repent!
Faith receives from the Lord’s hands all things as gifts. Faith fixes your eyes on Jesus. Faith sees what Jesus does for you, how He lives for you, how He dies in your place. Faith knows, it trusts, that God didn’t spare His only Son in saving you.
How could the Father give you anything but good things? He can’t! He won’t! His Son went through Lent, Holy Week, Good Friday, and Easter to save you! He’s not going to stop being a good Father just because we have a bad medical test or don’t have money.
Good things come to you not because you are such a good person or believe enough. Faith knows better than that! It’s all Jesus! His holy life and bitter suffering are the reasons God is not only merciful and kind to you, but has to be! It’s not because God has to do anything, but because of Calvary and Easter, because of Jesus, God has promised to be a good God to you. He will keep His promises!
As God carries you through the suffering, you learn how to handle the things in life without even missing a beat. That’s called “endurance.” That endurance is going to make you unflappable. That’s called “proven character”! That character is going to grow into hope that will never ever be disappointed because it will depend and rest solely upon the suffering and death of Jesus.
Rejoice in your sufferings! They are going to grow your faith and trust in the God who sent His Son to save you. He will carry you through! You can count on it! He’s taught you to do so. Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. –Rev. George Borghardt
