FED eration CONnection

Let freedom ring This uplifting phrase is frequently heard in speeches, essays, and songs.

How do Christians properly understand, “Let freedom ring”?

First, we recognize our dual citizenship. Although we are Americans, we are also citizens of heaven. One citizenship does not negate the other. Rather, they are complementary. We glorify God by serving our earthly kingdom. We obey its laws, pay our taxes, and serve as elected officials or in the military as we “honor, serve and obey” (Explanation of the 4th Commandment) those in authority. Yet, as members of God’s eternal Kingdom, we expectantly wait for its fulfillment knowing that God controls the nations to his glory. While on earth, government provides stability and protection for us to live as Christians and worship God. This twofold arrangement produces freedom: freedom—as American citizens—to pursue our earthly goals in service to God, and freedom—as citizens of heaven’s Kingdom—to live in God’s grace. Now, we live in earthly freedom to praise and serve God in time. In eternity, we will be free of sin to praise and serve him forever. Paul describes this dichotomy, “But now that you have been set free from sin..., the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life” (Romans 6:22).

When we consider “let freedom ring” this way, we know and believe that we have the best of futures both now on earth and eternally in heaven.

5 questions GC faculty “Five Questions with the Faculty” is a light-hearted look at the teaching staff at Lakeside Lutheran High School.

He is the defensive coordinator for varsity football and head coach for varsity softball. In addition, he is the Social Studies Department Chair and serves on the Faculty Technology Committee. Here are some other things you may—or may not—know about Matt Doering: He and his wife, Jill, are members at St. Paul, Lake Mills. They have two daughters Cassie (‘14) and Becca (‘16) both studying at MLC. Son Kyle will be a sophomore at Lakeside this fall.

What is your favorite thing to do on a Saturday?

Deer hunting, officiating basketball, and watching some great old Westerns!

When you’re at your fave restaurant, where are you & what do you order?

El Mariachi in downtown Lake Mills for their Burrito Campechano or Huevos Rancheros.

What is your favorite movie or book of all time?

Movie: A tie between A Few Good Men or The Cowboys Non-biblical book: UNCommon What’s one of your most humorous moments at LLHS? It was a Friday night varsity football game. We needed to get some different players into the game. I was running down the sideline to get the kids I needed out of an offensive huddle on the sidelines and tried to stop quickly. The grass was wet and I went cartoon-like feet in the air and landed flat on my back.

What’s one of the most heartwarming moments of your time at LLHS? It happens every year! To see the kids you’ve worked very closely with in a class or activity graduate and thank you for being a part of it. GETS ME EVERY TIME!

student news E notes: Summer doesn’t stop Warriors at work and play... ee In addition to the retiring Gayle Bauer, Lakeside said goodbye to Building and Grounds Director, Leon Jaeger (St. Paul, Ixonia), after 14 years of service to Lakeside. We also wished farewell to financial office assistant Kyra Lostetter and “lunch lady” Kelley Kilian (both St. Paul, Lake Mills), and are happy to report we’ll continue to see them in their roles as LL parent (Kelley) and girls golf coach (Kyra). ee Our Warrior track teams followed their Conference win by sending 16 tracksters to the D2 State Meet in 3 relays and 5 individual events, where Amber Rowoldt (St. Mark, Watertown) and Danielle Schilling (St. John, Juneau) took 4th places in triple jump and pole vault. Four school records were broken this year, in girls pole vault, boys 3200M, and boys 4x1 & 4x2 relays. ee Our A Cappella choir sing the National Anthem at a Brewers game v. the Giants at Miller Park June 5. 46 choir members and 485 groupies filled the Outfield Loge along left field and had a great time! See the video at goo.gl/gjfOQy ee Warrior Boys Golf had the fun of watching our Heckmann brother duo (St. Andrew, Middleton) both make it to the WIAA D2 State Tournament. Isaac brought home the bronze and Lukas came in 5th place, with respective 2-round scores of 148 and 150 at University Ridge Golf Course in Verona June 5–6. ee Band Camp for our 101-member Warrior band and color guard was June 6–9, followed by their first weekend parades in Brillion June 9 and Appleton June 10.

Their choreography and song, In Caelum Fero, has crowds going wild. They finish June with parades for Lake Mills Town & Country Days June 24 and Oregon SummerFest June 25, and then they celebrate our nation’s independence with 4 parades in 5 days across Missouri, Indiana and Illinois June 30–July 4. ee Seven of our Warrior FFA members along with Mr. Meske attended the 88th annual FFA State Convention June 12–15 in Madison. Activities included tours of the 2,000-cow Crave Bros farm, the UW Arlington Research Farm and joining in the Wisconsin Rally to Fight Hunger by helping pack 15 ton of macaroni! ee Hundreds of young athletes filled both gyms and the outdoor fields as June held both boys and girls basketball camps for grades 4–9 as well as co-ed soccer camps for grades 4–9. How wonderful to be reminded that it’s all to God’s glory, even in sports! ee Senior Jacob Constien (Peace, Sun Prairie) was selected to play for Team South in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association 34th Annual All-Star Classic, held at EJ Schneider Field in Oshkosh June 23-24. ee Kube’s Custom Carpentry, including dad Mark, Kyle (‘10) and Keith (‘12) got our Tech Ed summer project off to a smashing start! They volunteered to demo a classroom wall in the industrial arts wing that will make way for a loading door where an exterior window is now.
