Announcements for December 2, 2018


We will be holding a congregation meeting today, December 2nd, immediately following the worship service. Important decisions will be made which will affect our present and future ministries. We hope that you will attend to give your input on our work for the Lord!

Continuing on Monday, December 3rd 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.

Tuesday Teen Night is an opportunity for the youth of our congregation to gather together for worship and fellowship. We invite anyone who is currently enrolled in Catechism class or has been confirmed to a special worship service at 6:00pm on Tuesdays. Youth from Faith, Faith Hmong and Iglesia Luterana and their friends are enjoying this gathering—we hope you can make it, too!

Join us for Toddler Time on Wednesdays at 10:00am! Toddler Time is an hour of multi-sensory play, stories, and snacks for children ages 0 to 5 years and their parents. Please contact Cara Ewings (792-9388), for more information.

My Son, My Savior is the title of a movie produced by the same team that brought us Road to Emmaus and Come Follow Me. My Son, My Savior is about the coming, life and ministry of Jesus told from the perspective of his mother Mary. Join us on Sunday mornings at 9:07 during Advent for a Bible study based on this movie. You will be blessed and encouraged to strive to live for God out of grateful love for the love He first showed us through His Son and our Savior, Jesus.

Midweek Advent services begin on Wednesday, December 4. We will have two services, one at 3:00pm and an identical service at 6:30pm. In the early service, we especially invite the children and parents of Faith Lutheran School. There will be a soup supper before the evening service beginning at 6:00pm. The theme for our midweek Advent services is “What Child Is This” as we marvel in God’s gift to us in His Son, our Savior, Jesus. All are welcome and invited to attend either service. Come hear the good news of great joy for you!

Faith Lutheran School’s PTF is hosting a Parent’s Night Out on December 7 at 6:00pm. Drop off your toddler to 12 year old for an evening of fun while you enjoy an evening to yourself.  Food and beverages provided. Stay tuned for more information!

Men’s Bible Study will meet at 9:00am on Saturday, December 8th 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 Amos chapters 1 and 2.  All are welcome and invited! 

The Fellowship Committee invites all adults to the annual Adult Christmas Party in the fellowship hall on December 8th at 7:30pm. As is tradition, we will have fellowship time, a white elephant gift exchange, and a hymn sing. Please bring an appetizer or dessert and, if you would like to participate in the gift exchange, a gift worth no more than $15. The Fellowship Committee will provide eggnog and punch; if you would like other beverages, you are welcome to bring them.
