Devotion of the Week: It has been an interesting week in our country. It is a blessing to have the freedoms that we have in our country and the ability to elect our leaders. Regardless of who you voted for in our election on Tuesday, our nation is in need of prayer. In our Lutheran Service Book on p. 313, this is the prayer for our nation:
Almighty God, You have given us this good land as our heritage. Grant that we remember Your generosity and constantly do Your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. Grant that we, who came from many nations with many different languages, may become a united people. Support us in defending our liberties, and give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government the spirit of wisdom, that there may be justice and peace in our land. When times are prosperous, may our hearts be thankful, and in troubled times do not let our trust in You fail; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences |

P-S-T Conferences on Thursday, November 12: Our Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences are next week. Thank you for signing up! Here are some things to keep in mind:
- All PS4-8th grade parents should have signed up for conferences. If you have not, please sign up at the link below. (Note: Kindergarten and Young 5's parents already had their conferences with Mrs. Homrich so no need to sign up for these conferences.)
- Students in grades 1st-8th are invited to attend with parents.
- We are trying to limit the number of people in the building at one time so we ask that you are on time and leave when your conference is over.
- In order to make sure everyone stays on time, we will have a tone going off every 15 minutes to signal the end of the conference time.
- Teachers will be sanitizing the conference area after each visit.
- Masks should be worn.
- The Signupgenius link has all of the teachers included so please make sure you schedule your conference with your child's teacher.
- Please sign up by Friday, November 6.

America & Me Essay Contest Entry: Our 7th-8th graders had the opportunity to take part in the Farm Bureau Insurance America & Me Essay Contest.

For the next several weeks, we will include one essay from our 7th-8th grade students. Today's essay is from Adelia Breternitz, 7th grade.

“I want to thank everyone who hosted a trunk or came to have a fun evening pretending. A special thank you to the school teachers and Pastor Morris who came and let their lights shine. The whole church parking lot was aglow with everyone’s light shining. I praise and thank God for you all. Matthew 5:16” -Mrs. Pat Kricher

Basketball Game Time Change: On Friday, December 11, the games at Faith, Bay City will start at 6:00 (it was listed as 4:30 on the schedule).
B-Team Basketball Recap: Both of our teams were able to begin their seasons with a home opener this past Wednesday against St. Paul. The boys had a good defensive game but struggled offensively. Despite the 8-21 loss, they had a good first game. Scoring for the Panthers were Trevan Swanson (4), Aiden Grunow (2), Brady Klemish (2). The girls put up a good fight against the Wildcats but also came up short, losing 8-22. Keirstyn Curnutt had 6 points and Kendelle Klemish had 2 points. Both teams are back in action this Wednesday at home. Go Panthers!
