HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS
SibShop is coming to Faith Lutheran! What is SibShop? It’s for anyone who has a differently abled sibling, whether that is developmentally, learning challenges, or a medical diagnosis, to come together and spend time with others who have shared experiences.
SibShop is NOT a support group, because siblings are not burdens. Rather it’s a chance to relax and have some fun with peers who can relate.
Our first meeting will be a breakfast meeting! We will be in Room 501 at 8am on Tuesday, August 30th. Have some breakfast, meet some peers, and have some fun!
More information about the SibShop program can be found here.
Email Mrs. Burns at burnsc@flhsemail.org with any questions!
Welcome back high school students! If you'd love to meet new people while serving others, KEY CLUB is for you! Our first informational meeting will be next week, Wednesday, Aug 31st during HS lunch in the library. Current Key Club officers will meet the day prior, Tuesday Aug, 30th also during HS lunch. Bring your lunch or buy it and come over to the main area. Registration paperwork will be available then as well and you will get to meet our group of great officers! It is $50 for dues which are billed to your student account so you can decide next week if it's a good fit for you. You are expected to complete at least 50 service hours during the year- some of which overlap with what you can do for school hours - seniors who complete the minimum will get a graduation cord and letter of rec as needed...looks good on any resume too. Come find out the deets!
We do various projects during our meeting time, sometimes it's also just informational meetings about upcoming service projects and sign ups. We've been involved with volunteering at Light the Night and Breast Cancer walks, Barn Buddies Rescue, Horses4Heroes, Best Buddies for people with special needs, United Way, Project4Humanity homeless outreach, Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation, Blue Star Mothers Christmas cards for deployed military; various Veterans associations and elderly and retirement communities and much more.

Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 8:22-30, 46-63; 2 Corinthians 4:1-18
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. (2 Corinthians 4:8-10)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. When Christianity is depicted apart from crosses, it always makes them scarier when Christians find out God actually does give them things they can't handle all the time, despite clinging to a mistranslated verse that doesn't actually say what they think it does. Because it isn't you who handles all the stuff that's bigger than you. It's Jesus.
Christianity is never depicted apart from suffering because our symbol is Christ crucified for us sinners. A God who won't associate with suffering is not a God who exists to be crucified for you. So there will be suffering because Jesus suffers for you to forgive you. There's still suffering now, too, and it's maddening. On its own, it's soul-destroying. So Paul gives us something to cling to. We carry in our bodies the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in us. We are baptized into Jesus' death. Into Jesus' resurrection. That changes things. The world is bigger than you and full of things you can't handle. But you carry with you the death of Jesus, suffering used for salvation, so the world cannot crush you. You carry in your body the Baptism He gives you, so you cling to the resurrection that gives you hope in the face of questions you can't answer. You are not forsaken, because God is in the suffering with you and for you. So you are already brought through suffering. It cannot destroy you.
The existence of God doesn't preclude the existence of suffering. It confirms it. You have a God who saves through the Cross. That's a God who dives into suffering to save, so He's a God who dives into suffering to carry you through yours, even if it's more than you can handle. This is what it is to remember your Baptism. You are baptized. Make the sign of the cross. Read 2 Corinthians 4:8-10. The life of Jesus that you carry speaks to your pain. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they appear! Those martyrs stand, A priestly band, God's throne forever near. On earth they wept through bitter years; Now God has wiped away their tears, Transformed their strife To heav'nly life, And freed them from their fears. They now enjoy the Sabbath rest, The heav'nly banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, At festive board Himself is host and guest. ("Behold a Host, Arrayed in White" LSB 676, st.2)
