What a difference!  The demolition of the parsonage is well underway and will be completed this week.  A major component of updating our church facilities is near completion.  The parsonage was a part of our church for many years, holding dear memories for the congregation.  We can look back fondly on these memories as we look forward to the bright future God has planned for Faith Lutheran Church, School and Preschool.  May He continue to richly bless our ministries!

Thank you to all those who have participated in the work nights and getting tasks accomplished.  Much has been accomplished in the past two months.   We will have more work nights to get the playground ready for the beginning of school in a few weeks.
