Announcements for February 24

Please stay for our quarterly congregation meeting. Immediately following worship today, we will:

           1. Provide a financial forecast update

           2. Review the report and recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee 

               Supporting Faith Lutheran School

           3. Schedule a call meeting for Preschool Director

Materials for these meetings were distributed in separate communication. Your participation, input, and feedback are crucial for us to move forward as a family of believers committed to carry out the great commission through our work at Faith Lutheran Church. Your pastors, teachers, and church leaders are looking forward to seeing you there and working with you as we serve our Lord Jesus Christ!

A new Men’s Bible Study will meet at 9:00am on Saturday, March 2nd at Village Inn (4403 Spenard Rd) to begin a study on Luther’s Catechism. Luther originally wrote the Catechism as a teaching aid for fathers to instruct their children in the Bible. Come and see how you can still use it today. — The Men’s Bible Study at Barbie’s Café (6728 Lake Otis Pkwy) is moved to the third Saturday of every month. We will continue our tour of the Minor Prophets “Sound bytes of the Old Testament.” Next up: Amos 5.  All are welcome at either study.

Continuing on Monday, February 25th at 6:00pm, our pastors 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.  Come and learn on Monday night and hear about the history of God the Son!

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. If you are willing and available to help with set up or clean up, please contact Cara Ewings at (907) 792-9388.

Faith Alive Bible Study Groups meet this week! These Bible study groups are designed to promote vibrant life in Christ. You are welcome and invited to join us at one of these two locations this week:

Faith Alive at Brooks: Wednesday at 6:30pm

Faith Alive at Wockenfusses: Wednesday at 7:00pm

Are you ready for spring break? A group of high schoolers from MLHS is! Michigan Lutheran High School is sending up a team of 6-8 students over spring break to help us reach out to our community for Easter. They will be arriving at the end of March and staying through the first week of April.  If you are able to help with hosting, please contact us at office@faithalaska.com. So far one individual has offered to help; we can still use more!

Who wants to be locked up? Over spring break, we invite the teens of our congregation to join us for a lock-in on Friday, March 15 until Saturday morning. The teen groups from Wasilla, Eagle River and Kenai will be joining us! Bring your favorite games, movies, snacks and drinks and sleeping gear but—most importantly—bring a friend! Contact Pastor Chris (907) 792-9788 if you have any questions.

Our friends and church family from Our Redeemer in Madison, WI have asked for our help this summer! This congregation has helped us for the last three years at no cost to us. If you are interested in helping them with their summer camp June 17-21, please contact Pastor Chris!

Pastor Chris currently holds a Call to Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin as well as his Call to serve here at Faith in Anchorage. Please keep him in your prayers and share your thoughts with him about where he can best serve the Lord of the Church!
