Announcements for May 1st

Congregational Meeting - May 8th

Thank you to all who participated in the WELS school assessment.  The input we have received is very helpful and gives a good roadmap for improving our school.  We can now take these recommendations and make a plan for the school’s future.  The first step in that plan is making a decision on the principal position and calling a kindergarten teacher. 

On May 8th at 4:00pm we will hold a congregational meeting to discuss the calls and answer any questions regarding the assessment.  Time is of the essence as the deadline for calling a graduate is upon us.  Please join us in making these important decisions. 

Pho Feed - Saturday May 7th at 5:00 - 7:00pm.  
The ladies of the Hmong congregation are hosting a pho feed to raise money to send members to the Annual Conference in St. Paul, Minnesota. Come enjoy some a spectacular soup and support our Hmong congregation.

On May 13th at 6:30pm School Spring Musical. 
Faith Lutheran school presents It's Cool In the Furnace: A Musical About Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar, Shadrack, Meshach & Abednego.  The performance will be at the UAA Fine Arts Building on the main stage.  Come enjoy this children's musical that recounts the captivating tale with humor, action, and a spiritual heart.

Cake Decorating Fundraiser Saturday, May 14th 10:00 - Noon.  
A Faith Lutheran School parent and chef is teaching the Wilton Method of Cake Decorating, Five Steps to a Great Cake.  All the proceeds from this class will be donated to the Sprinkler Fund.  The cost is $30 with supplies and icing provided.  Sign up soon as space is limited!  Contact Sheila Lillo at 229-7901 to sign up or for more information.

Thinking of doing some spring cleaning?  
Wondering what to do with the unwanted items?  We have a solution!  Set them aside until May 21st for the school and camp parking lot sale.  The proceeds from this sale will benefit the sprinkler fund and the school.  Due to limited storage at this facility, please keep your items until May 16th. 

Faith Lutheran School
On May 22nd during the 10:30 service, five students will be graduating from FLS with four students being confirmed.  Come celebrate the next step in a lifelong adventure of faith in these student’s lives.

A chance for fellowship with the Schnecks, May 22nd at 5:00pm. 
We will have an opportunity to fellowship with the Schnecks before they leave for their new calls this summer.  Plan to come let the Schnecks know how important they have been to the ministry at Faith. Mark your calendars, specific information will be available next week.

Housing is needed for youth group.
This summer, Faith will have a youth group coming to help with our soccer camp. Housing is needed for the group coming up from Our Redeemer in Madison, Wisconsin.  There will be 15 high schoolers and 9 chaperones.  We will need to provide accommodations beginning June 26th until the morning of July 3rd.  Call or text Pastor Chris for more information at 792-9788.

Good Stewardship
As summer is quickly approaching and we all begin enjoying the great state of Alaska, remember the ministry of the church does not take a vacation.  One way to consistently support our church is through electronic giving to automate your weekly offering.  Electronic giving is a convenient way to keep up with your intended offerings when you are traveling or other circumstances prevent you from attending the services.  To sign up contact Sheila Lillo in the office at 563-3499 or FaithLutheran@gci.net.

Looking Ahead:
  • Monday Evening Worship Service begins on June 6th at 7:00pm.  Sunday worship will remain at 10:30am. This schedule will continue through out summer.
  • Science Camp - June 6th-9th,  9:00 to 3:00pm.  This day camp for kids 5 to 11 will explore God’s world with science experiments, hands-on activities, games and snacks. More information on the school’s website at FaithAlaska.com
  • Soccer Camp - June 27th - July 1st , 9:00 to noon. Kids preschool through 6th grade will enjoy devotion, snack and soccer.  Look for registration soon.
