Announcements from November 20th

Next Sunday, November 27th, we have a very special day of worship and fellowship planned  as we celebrate Thanksgiving together. We will have an All-Church Worship Service at 10:30am for the English, Spanish and Hmong speaking people of Faith. During the service we will also rededicate our school building, thanking our God for the blessing of this ministry among us. After the worship service, all are welcome and invited to tour the school to see the renovation project that took place this past summer. The open house will be followed by a potluck lunch and a brief congregational meeting. There are a few items requiring action by the congregation, but mostly this will be an informative meeting to keep everyone abreast of the ministry work going on here at Faith. We pray that you are able to join us!

10:30-11:30 – All Church Worship
11:30-1:00 – Potluck Lunch and Open House
1:00-2:00 – Congregational Meeting


Faith will offer the popular Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class early in the new year, Tuesday evenings at 6:30 from January 10th through March 7th.  The class covers biblically-based principles of money management, beneficial to all from young people starting out on their own to older couples.  For more information about the class, please visit the Stewards of Faith blog at http://stewardsoffaith.blogspot.com/.

In our Sunday morning Bible study we are training our sights on the devil in a series called “Know Your Enemy.”  Today we put a laser focus on the tactics the tempter uses to try and pry us from the hand of our God.  We will note that his perverted plans are mighty, but our God gives us the strength to overcome and win the victory.  Next week we will take a look at the Arenas of the Adversary and learn where he goes about waging war with us.  Come join us at 9:00 as we grow in God's Word!

Financial Peace University - Would you like to know how to manage your money in a God pleasing way?  We plan to offer the popular Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class early in the new year, Tuesday evenings at 6:30 from January 10th through March 7th.  The class covers scripture-based principles of money management, beneficial to all from young people starting out on their own to older couples.  So far, we have 7 non-members enrolled in the class, so it is also providing outreach opportunities in the community!  Class materials cost $99.98, ordered through Faith, so we would welcome sponsors for members that might not be able to afford the class.  Please speak with Pastor Ewings or Jeff Bromaghin to enroll in the class or ask about sponsorship opportunities.
In our Sunday morning Bible study, we are training our sights on the devil in a series called “Know Your Enemy.”  On Sunday, we looked at the question of how evil exists in the first place and what our God has done about it.  Next week we will focus on the tactics of the tempter and the strategies that Satan uses to try and lead us away from our loving God.  Come join us at 9:00 as we grow in God's Word!
