LI VING PRAYERS Nearly everyone knows the Lord’s Prayer. It is the model on what to pray.

However, in the verses preceding the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us how to pray.

“And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Matthew 6:7-8).

Our Savior makes two points. First, prayer does not have to be lengthy and ornate.

The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6 is just 53 words in four sentences. Not only is it simple and to-the-point, but it comes directly from Jesus.

Secondly, Jesus teaches that prayer is not an if, but a when - as in, “And when you pray.” God rescued us from our sinfulness when we did everything possible to fight him. We did nothing to deserve his grace and mercy. Yet, he bought us back from sin, death, and Satan with his holy life. As his redeemed children, we now have the freedom to pray to him. God knows us and he knows our needs. He loves us and he continues to do so even when we fail. He even encourages us to address him “our Father” (Matthew 6:9).

Prayer is not dry and sterile. It is living and enriching. Through it, we speak with him “who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope” (2 Thessalonians 2:16).

God, give us lives of active and meaningful prayer.

new faces I C faculty The new school year brings four new called workers to our faculty. This month continues brief intros and a snapshot of our new teachers. Introduce yourself and give them warm Warrior welcomes when you see them around campus!

Mr. Nate Sievert will teach, in his

words, “a smidge” of Geometry and “a dab” of Freshman Phy Ed, as well as “a bit” of coaching basketball and track in his role with us. (He’s probably found out by now that all 4 sections of Geometry triangulates into more than a smidge in most circles.)

His family includes Amy (wife of 23 years and new teacher at St. John, Watertown), son Sam (a junior studying avionics at Western Michigan University), and daughters Olivia (beginning her medical journey at Michigan State), and Makenzie (St. John’s newest 8th grader). He began his ministry in 1995 at Martin Luther in Neenah, then took the family to California Lutheran High School in 2000 until his time at Grace in St. Joseph, Michigan, for the past 11 years. In spare time, the family spends time together at each others’ athletic events or “those of our Spartans — Go Green! Go White! We as a family enjoy the outdoors and anything that goes along with it.” In 2006, Nate was “blessed to take a whirlwind 17-day tour of Europe (GB, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria) with 25 high schoolers. He hopes to be blessed to be able to return with his wife someday.

Mr. Justin Vanderhoof

was born in Appleton, graduated from FVL in ‘98 and MLC in ‘03. He and wife, Emily, were assigned to Martin Luther in Neenah (missing Mr. Sievert by only a couple years!) where he served for 15 years. “I was assigned to 5–6th but through departmentalization, I taught different subjects in every classroom over the years. I also served as A.D. and basketball coach, and coached football at FVL for 12 years,” he shares. This fall, he teaches six sections of four different courses in both the English and Social Studies departments, as well as JV football and track.

They have three daughters: Madelyn (13/8th gr), Noelle (10/5th gr), and Hannah (8/3rd gr), all attending Trinity-St. Luke’s in Watertown, where Emily has accepted a call to direct and teach preschool. Last year, the family had another adventure, Justin shares. “Emily is adopted from South Korea, so in the spring of 2017, we traveled to Seoul for a week to visit.”

new year news E notes:

A new school year brings new faces, new spaces and more..

ss In addition to 4 new called workers, your LLHS has other new faces:

Mrs. Jessica Meyer has joined the Development Office as our new part-time Alumni Relations & Event Coordinator. Jess, Aaron and family are members of Eastside in Madison where she was school secretary for the past 8 years. Son Jacob is a ‘17 grad and one of their two daughters begins at LLHS this fall.

Mrs. Sara James brings a smile and considerable expertise to students who utilize the Extended Learning Center as the new part-time ELC Aide. She attends Holy Cross, Madison, with her husband, Sam, and 3 daughters, in 6th, 2nd, and K. The Warrior Dance team has added a new face in Coach Mrs. Katie Hosbach (St. Matthew, Janesville). Some in the federation might recognize her as the 1st & 2nd grade teacher at St. Matthew for the past several years. Welcome!

ss How Great Our Joy! The music department has issued a Christmas CD available for $10. The 14-track recording is comprised of seasonal selections from the last 5 years of A Cappella choirs. Contact Mr. Buege at jbuege@llhs.org to purchase. The 12-track 2017–18 CD is also available for $10.

ss Safety second—after God first, of course! 81 Wisconsin schools and districts have received a total of $5 million to improve school safety. LLHS received a $21,000 grant to install shatterproof door film, deadbolts and self-locking mechanisms for classroom doors. In other safety-related news, faculty and staff participated in a crisis training in-service. Thanks to Lake Mills Police and Jefferson County Sheriff departments as well as UW-Whitewater ROTC for the training. ss Warrior FFA has been busy this summer. More than 20 Warriors entered one or more categories at the Jefferson and Dodge Co. Fairs. At the Wisconsin State Fair, the Gunst family (St. John, Juneau) was awarded reserve Yearling Champion and Honorable Mention Junior Champion. Their heifer was also named the Yearling Bred & Owned Champion and Reserve Champion Bred & Owned. ss Varsity Lady Warriors golf team has started the season strong by taking 2nd place in the conference meet of the season August 13, hosted by East Troy at the Alpine Valley course. Special shout out to sophomore Maya Heckmann (St. Andrew, Middleton) with the top score of the meet!

ss Anyone interested in joining the Warrior Scrip program is welcome to find out how to enroll at llhs.org/scrip. The scrip office at LLHS, open most Mondays and Thursdays during the school year, now also STOCKS more than 20 retailers in various denominations, from Ace Hardware to Menards to Starbucks and Walmart and so many more. Place an order online, stop in or look for the scrip table available at select sporting events and the 8th grade open house this fall.
