Congregational Meeting and Call Updates with Announcements from May 17th

Congregational Meeting Update

Thank you for all those who attend the congregational meeting.  What a blessing to see the members continue to support the ministries of Faith.   For the call portion of the meeting, the congregation will extend a formal and permanent call to Pastor Ewings to serve as pastor of Faith Lutheran Evangelical Church.  He will minister to both congregations, and support all the ministries.   

Pastor Oldfield continues to be a called worker of Faith Lutheran Church.  Pastor O has been blessed to receive full disability benefits so he may focus his time and energy on his own health and family.  When Pastor Oldfield is ready, there will be a formal recognition of his valuable service to the ministry Faith.  This congregation has been and continues to be blessed by the wonderful leadership of Pastor Oldfield.

The church has been blessed with the opportunity in the budget to begin some much needed and overdue maintenance and upgrades to our facilities.  The first major item is the demolition of the parsonage this summer.   The sprinkler project continues to move along ahead of schedule and is now in formal plan development for the sprinklers being added to the rest of the building.
