Physicals expire 12 months from the date of exam. –Up to date physicals are required for the 2025/2026 school year. It is recommended to schedule your physical over the summer break so it’s good for the whole year.
All completed physicals must be uploaded into Aktivate for approval. --If your athlete’s physical expires before or during their season, they will not be allowed to try out for a team.

So the soldiers did these things, but standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (John 19:24b-27)
It seems to me that, during His hours on the cross, Jesus was wrapping up His final concerns, one after another. And one of them was for His mother—who had followed Him to Jerusalem for Passover, and who very likely had no one in her family to depend on after Jesus’ death—“For not even His brothers believed in Him” (John 7:5).
But Jesus can see His disciple John standing right there—and he, too, will need comfort and support from someone else who loves Jesus as he does. So Jesus gives them to each other.
He does the same for us in His church today, doesn’t He? Because even though Jesus has suffered, died, and risen again to give us new, everlasting life, we still have a broken world to live in—and without the visible, tangible presence of our dear Lord. So He gives us each other. And through the love of our fellow believers, we see Jesus reflected—and the Holy Spirit keeps us going, until the day Jesus returns to take us home with Him.
Lenten Devotions were written by Dr. Kari Vo.
WE PRAY: Thank You, Lord, for the help and comfort You’ve given me through Your people. Make me a source of care for others as well. Amen.
Reflection Questions:
When you are suffering, what do you turn to in order to feel better?
Are Jesus’ people on that list? Why or why not?
When have you seen Jesus work through a sinful, broken follower of His to show love and help to you or someone else, in spite of their faults?
Today's Readings:
Deuteronomy 8-10
Luke 4:1-30
