Announcements for September 9, 2018


Wisdom is calling out to you! In our Sunday morning Bible studies we will be taking a look at the Book of Proverbs over the next several weeks. The practical advice shared in this Book is immediately applicable for your life today. We will touch on topics like friendship, money, love, health, work ethic, parenting, marriage and more! Come join us at 9:07 (Alaskan Bible study time) in this interactive study of God’s Word.

We’d love to see your kids in Sunday School! Bring your preschool to 6th grade children at 9:07am to hear the stories from the Bible and learn God’s Word.  If you are interested in teaching for a few weeks during the coming months, please speak with Pastor Chris. 

Beginning on Monday, September 10th at 6:00pm Pastor Chris will be offering a class entitled “Making Life Better.”  In this class, you will see how God has made your life better by reviewing your past, changing your present and transforming your future.  This course covers the basic truths of the Christian faith and is offered to newcomers and long-time Christians alike.  Come marvel at what God has done for you!  Contact Pastor Chris at 792-9788 for more information. The class will meet every Monday evening for 15 weeks.

Join us for Toddler Time on Wednesdays at 10:00am! Toddler Time is an hour of multi-sensory play, stories, and snacks for children age 0 to 5 years and their parents. Please contact Cara Ewings (792-9388), Kelsey Circle (545-5831) or Robin Brooks (351-1303) for more info.

Faith Lutheran Church and Schools will remain founded on Holy Scripture. To be alive in Christ, we will be nurtured by the Gospel and loved and encouraged by one another. With vibrant life in Him, we will be edified to organize and grow cohesive Gospel ministries. To share life in Christ, our ministries will be outward focused, and we will be involved with and engaged in the community of Anchorage, Alaska.

We will be hosting an Underwater Adventure for toddlers to 10 year olds on Saturday, September 15th from 10-12pm. We would love to see both school and church families at this event. We are looking for a few volunteers to help prep snacks the morning of the event, socialize with visitors during the event, and clean up after the event. If you are able to help out in any way, please contact Melissa Mittelstadt at faithlutheranpreschoolak@gmail.com.

Faith Lutheran’s Summer Camps were a huge success this year! Did you know that we had 92 kids attend STEM Camp, 86 in Soccer Camp and 75 in Outdoor Adventure Camp? Did you know that only a handful of these students who attended are children of our congregation? Did you know that we also made a significant profit—almost $7,000? Because of that, we would like to give back to the groups that came to Alaska to help us. They paid their own way, donating their time and money to support our ministry. This will be our last Sunday taking a freewill donation to show them our thanks. Please consider contributing to this cause.

The 2018 WELS Women’s Retreat is September 21st - 22nd in Wasilla.  Time is running out!  If you haven’t registered yet, please send your payment to King of Kings Lutheran Church or register online at: https://tinyurl.com/y937zvzt.  Brochures are available in the entryway for more information.

Men’s Bible Study will meet at 9:00am on Saturday, October 13th at Barbie’s CafĂ© (6728 Lake Otis Pkwy). By popular demand, we’re taking a tour of the Minor Prophets with a Bible study we’ve called “Sound bytes of the Old Testaments.” We will be discussing the Book of Habakkuk chapter 2.  All are welcome and invited!
