Announcements from Sunday, February 21st

Call update
Faith Lutheran Church extended a call to Mr. Joshua Walker to serve as our principal and teacher for grades 6, 7, and 8.  He currently is the principal at St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Livonia, Michigan.  He is married to Mandy with 3 children.  A call was also extended to Miss Rachel Taasaas to serve as our kindergarten teacher.   She currently serves as kindergarten teacher at St. Matthew Lutheran School in Spokane, Washington.  Please keep them both in your prayers as they consider the two calls they now hold.  If you would like to contact Mr. Walker, his email is JWalker@stpaulslivonia.org.  Miss Taasaas’ email is green19chevy@yahoo.com.


Join us for Midweek Lenten Services at 7:00pm. During our midweek services, we will hear the words of our Savior as He tells us the truth.  The sermons are based on Jesus’ words from the Gospel “I tell you the truth.”  In a world filled with half-truths, untruths and all out lies, may we listen carefully and intently to the truth of our God.

Join us for Soup Suppers Wednesdays at 6:00pm.  Bring a salad, soup or dish to share or just come enjoy the fellowship before Midweek Lenten Service.

Life is busy. Are you and your marriage distracted? God designed marriage between one man and one woman and only he can help rid your marriage of the distractions you face. Join us for a marriage enrichment weekend February 26-28 at the Dimond Center Hotel. Spend your weekend learning how to get rid of the distractions in your marriage by tuning in, turning off, communicating, listening well and fighting fair – all with God’s help. See the poster and brochure in the hall or visit wels.net/adult-discipleship for more information and to register.

Faith Service Project - The Fellowship Committee invites you to make blessing bags to keep in your car to have on hand to give to someone in need as you are driving around.  On Saturday, March 5th, 1:00 - 3:00pm we will be organizing bags full of essentials for those on the street.   Donations of nutritious bars, snacks, coupons for meals, socks, gloves, etc. can be brought the day of the event.  Claire Zarnstorff is coordinating the event and can be contacted at 792-9688.

Home Bible Study Group - A new group is forming and will be led by Bryan Schneck beginning March 6th at 7:00pm.  This group will be using the study “Vanishing Grace:  Whatever Happened to the Good News” by Philip Yancey.  If you would like to join and to order a study guide please contact Bryan Schneck at 331-7761.   Detailed information at FaithAlaska.com under Home Bible Studies.

Thank you for supporting the Central Africa Medical Mission.  Your donations helped raise over $1000 for CAMM.   Recently, Zambia has mandated all children must be born at the clinic, which now must be staffed 24/7.  This financial gift will help fund the extra work hours required by the staff.  We would also like to thank Pastor Ewings for his mission Bible study and Claire Zarnstorff for organizing the baked goods decorating as part of the Women’s Craft Day.
