Listen to His Voice
Over the weekend, I noticed a comic in
the paper that made me think. It was a simple drawing of a man and his dog out
in nature somewhere. The man is cursing the fact that he can’t get any
reception with his smart phone. The dog
is thinking, “Nature speaks to me of God’s presence, yet God is a total
stranger to the restless world of men.”
This struck me as an indictment of
humankind. The world in which we live testifies to us about God. The Psalmist
David reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they
display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not
heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the
earth.” Psalm 19:1-4.
Even though nature gives clear
testimony about the truth that there is God, we cannot learn who God is and
what He has done for us. We need to learn these things from what He has
revealed about Himself in His Word. In His Word, He reveals His love for us as
He sends His Son to be the sacrifice to pay for our sins. Listen to and study
His Word often.
Basketball
Our next game is tomorrow, October
30th, at Anchor Lutheran School (8100 Arctic Blvd). We
will NOT practice on Thursday due to ACPaT.
No School
We will
not have school this Thursday or Friday, November 1st and 2nd. Our teachers and pastors will be attending
the Alaska Conference of Pastors and Teachers at Grace Lutheran Church in
Kenai.
Chapel
will be held on Wednesday this week.
Turn Your Clocks Back
Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday morning (November
4th) at 2:00 am. Don’t forget to set
your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night.
Picture Retake Day
Lifetouch
will be back Tuesday, November 6th, to do picture retakes, class group photos,
and the all-school group photo. They will begin photographing at 9:00 am.
All
K-8 students are required to wear their uniforms for these photos. If they are having retakes done, they will be
allowed to change into dress clothes then change back into their uniform.
To have your child’s photo retaken, fill out
a new order form and return your original portrait package on retake day. Siblings of students and students who missed
the first picture day should be ready to be photographed by 9:00 am.
Open House
During
our Trunk or Treat event, we gave families from the community an invitation to
come back to see what our school is like during an open house. Our main reason for doing this is to bring
more students into Faith Lutheran School.
The
open house will be on November 7th from 5:30-7:30 pm. Of course we think our school is great, but
it’s our parents who say it best! So we
are encouraging all parents and friends of our current and former students to attend
to help us promote our school.
Early Dismissal
On Friday, November 9th, school will dismiss
at noon for teacher in-service. There will be no aftercare available that
day.
Brrrrr…It Is Cold Outside
Parents, be sure your student is bringing proper winter
gear to school. Students enjoy their
time outside when they can keep warm and dry with hats, gloves, winter coat,
boots, and snow pants. They also need
dry shoes to put on in the classroom when they take off their boots.
