Announcements for May 5


Continuing on Monday, May 6 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 on Monday night and hear how God wants to transform your relationship with the church!

Tuesday Teen Night is an opportunity for the youth of our congregation to gather together for worship and fellowship. Join us for 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. If you would like more information about this event, please contact Cara Ewings at (907) 792-9388.

Let’s go for a hike! As we move into Spring, join the Fellowship Committee in getting outside at Westchester Lagoon on Saturday, May 11th at 2:00 PM for an easy walk/hike along the Coastal Trail. Be sure to bring all the gear you’ll need—a good pair of shoes, some water to stay hydrated, a snack and a friend. See you on the trails!

Men’s Bible Study will meet at 9:00am on Saturday, May 18th 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 Testament.” We will be discussing the Book of Amos chapter 7.  All are welcome and invited! 

Please join us on Friday, May 31st at 6:00pm for a farewell BBQ for Miss Mittelstadt. If you are able to bring items, there are sign up sheets in the Fellowship Hall and downstairs on the school bulletin board. If you have any questions, contact Amanda Foster at 907-250-9685 or akfosters3@gmail.com

The Annual Congregational meeting will be on Sunday, May 19. We will have a Sharing Faith Service followed by a potluck lunch. The meeting will follow immediately after the meal. If you are interested in serving on any of the committees, please speak with Jim Aumann.

Who’s thinking about summer? This summer we will have plenty of opportunities for the children of our congregation and our community to have fun and grow in their faith. We have four, week-long camps:
June 17-21 STEM Camp
June 24-28 Soccer Camp
July 8-12 Outdoor Adventure Camp
July 14-18 Camp Luther
We have four different groups of helpers coming up from the Lower 48 for these camps. Please contact Pastor Chris for more information.
