Harvest Carnival

Greetings to all! Just a last minute reminder to come enjoy the Harvest Carnival on Friday evening, 10/25, from 6:00-8:30pm in the Fellowship Hall at Faith Lutheran Church! Dress as your favorite storybook or fairytale character, play some fun games, eat some yummy treats, and socialize with your fellow believers. :-) If any of you would like to donate bags of candy, caramel apples, big lollipops, big candybars, or baked goods, please feel free to drop them off at church anytime today or tomorrow...although preferably before 5:00pm tomorrow evening. Hope to see you all tomorrow! Have a lovely day! Mary Klebs

Oct 27, 2013 - WELS Alaska Reformation Worship Service & Pot Luck Meal

We have plenty of opportunities for you to participate in our Reformation festival.

Faith will host the WELS Alaska Reformation Worship Service, followed by a pot luck meal on Sunday, October 27, 2013. The worship service is scheduled for 4:30 PM followed by the meal. We would love helpers at 10:50 AM following Bible class to set up tables and seats, very quietly, of course. For the meal, local folks can bring hot foods while those traveling greater distances can bring salads, relishes, rolls, or desserts. Finally, we would again appreciate helpers after the meal to pack decorations, clear and clean tables, stack chairs and tables, and wash dishes.

PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM OPEN HOUSE

The renovations are done.  Final inspections are taking place this week.  Miss Wendland is getting her classroom set up, and Faith Lutheran Preschool will open its doors, Lord willing, on Monday, October 21.  Praise God for his goodness and for giving his people the will and the strength to bring the project to completion!

You are invited to come and take a look.  We're having an informal Open House this Sunday morning, October 13.  Miss Wendland will be on hand after each of our worship services to show you around, or you can just do your own walk-through.

If you have any questions about our preschool, please click on the tab on faithalaska.net, or call Miss Wendland (907-602-3800) or email her at preschool@faithalaska.com.

PRESCHOOL PROJECT WORK SCHEDULE

Monday - Wednesday, Sept. 9-11

Monday  6:00 PM      Painting Party at church

Tuesday 5:30 PM      Building Committee Meeting at church

               6:00 PM      Painting Party at church / Work on cubbies at Andy Zanto's 

Wednesday 6 PM      Flooring can begin.  Volunteers can work elsewhere to trim out the corridor and finish any painting in areas where flooring is not being installed.

Got fans?   We will need fans to get the paint fumes out of the space.  If any congregation members can drop some off so we can use them...box fans or whatever we can get our hands on to put in the windows to blow the fumes outside.  Put your name on them and we'll be sure to get them returned.

No Work at Church This Week...Here's What's Up

BULLETS FROM THE BUILDING COMMITTEE

••• Thanks to all the volunteers who finished the sheetrock and helped prepare the space for taping and texturing!  Great turnout!

••• Special thanks to Andy Zanto, Mike Hester, Tom Z, Bryan S, and Tony Ferguson for staying way too late Wednesday night to finish the sheetrock. Thanks, guys, for the extra effort!

••• Taping and texturing began Thursday and will continue into this week.

••• This week we will NOT have our normal Tuesday and Wednesday work nights at the church.  Please watch your email or check the eNews on faithalaska.com -- there may be some work off site (or perhaps later in the week).

••• Once taping and texturing is done, the next phase will be painting.  Watch for details on the scheduling of that.

  

••• Flooring can begin as soon as painting is complete.
