MostPrep's Winter/Spring SAT classes Now that the PSAT is in the books for juniors, this is an excellent time to start to think about preparing for the SAT and ACT that juniors should take later this school year! FLHS is pleased to announce that MostPrep will be running SAT courses at FLHS in preparation for the two most popular SAT dates in the second semester. You can sign up for a class HERE. There is a limit of 25 students per session, so registrations will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact MostPrep by e-mail (mostprep@gmail.com), phone (702-896-1307), or text (516-721-7906) if you have any questions. Here is a list of course offerings; no student may register for more than 1 course, and these courses are only open to current juniors. FLHS will bill students' accounts for these courses after they begin.
SAT Winter Course, February 3 - March 13: This 6-week course ($750) aims to fully cover the most important content for the SAT, all of which carries over to the ACT. Two proctored practice tests are included. This course will meet on Tuesday nights (7 - 9:30pm) and Friday afternoons (4 - 5:30pm), except for Presidents' Weekend; the course will meet on Thursday afternoon that week instead. Practice tests will run from 8am - 10:30am on February 28 and March 7, which are the final two Saturdays before the SAT is given on March 14.

This devotion pairs with this weekend’s Lutheran Hour sermon, which can be found at lhm.org.
The Spirit immediately drove [Jesus] out into the wilderness. And He was in the wilderness 40 days, being tempted by Satan. And He was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to Him. (Mark 1:12-13)
Let’s follow Jesus out into the wilderness. What do you see, as you look around?
Well, the Holy Spirit Himself has sent Jesus out there. So there’s God. Satan’s there, too, trying to tempt Jesus. There are good angels as well, although it’s not super clear what exactly they’re doing. And then there are the wild animals. This is who Jesus has for company.
That’s a pretty good list of living beings, from God all the way down to the animals. But one thing’s missing. Where are the human beings?
Jesus is the human being here. He is our representative, doing on our behalf what we could never manage. He spends 40 days being tested—“Do miracles to meet Your own needs! Force God to prove His power and faithfulness to You, instead of trusting Him! Turn away from God and grab for earthly power!” And unlike us, Jesus stays faithful!
The lovely thing here is that Jesus, the Son of God, is also the Son of Man. He has become one of us, subject to the same needs and trouble—hungry, alone, tempted. And why? Because He loves us, and wants to rescue us from evil and bring us home to God. Because He loves the Father, who sent Him to save us by dying on a cross and rising from the dead, sharing that life with us.
Lenten Devotions were written by Dr. Kari Vo.
WE PRAY: Dear Jesus, thank You for becoming like me. Help me to call on You when I’m in trouble and need You so much. Amen.
Reflection Questions:
Would it have been good enough if God had sent an angel to rescue us?
Why or why not? Give your reasons.
Jesus is human forever. What feelings do you have about that?
