As part of Faith Lutheran's standing budget, we continue to respond to individuals and families in need of food to supplement their monthly budget.We thank members of the congregation who so generously donate food to meet these needs. |
While we try to link people up with community resources to meet their needs, it is nice to have a discretionary fund that can respond to emergent needs that rise during the course of the year.

We are building a loving, supportive, and empowering relationship with our Rwandan sisters and brothers.Pastor Elidard supports two parishes in and around Kagitumba, and we, in turn, support Pastor Elidard and these parishes with funding on a quarterly basis.Our contribution to education in Rwanda comes in the way of providing the tuition for seven students in Kagitumba, and seminary expenses for Pastor Elidard's son. |
We thank the members of the congregation who have individually committed to the education of the seven students.But perhaps most exciting was Pastor Elidard's visit to Faith Lutheran Church in October 2009.We were blessed by is presence and have faith that the connection he made with individuals and groups in the church will enrich our relatioon as we explore how to deppen and grow this mutual ministry.

Don’t miss and invite a friend to Faith Lutheran’s . . . RALLY DAY
|
What better way to complete Faith's Rally Day festivities than with a picnic in beautiful Bidwell
Park!
Approximately 140 picnickers gathered together at One-Mile and played all kinds of
games,
enjoyed old-fashioned melodies,
ate professionally prepared burgers, hotdogs and beans,
toured the park in a pedicab,
and, mostly, enjoyed the fellowship of one another.
The Evangelism Team is pleased to offer this event each year, and
we are always extremely
grateful to those Faith members who say, "Yes" when asked to assist.
This year we extend
gigantic "Thank You's" to: Mark Chrisman, Tom Melvin and Pat Snyder
for grilling all of those
burgers and dogs;
Charles Lynn for cooking up those yummy beans;
Kathy Harris, Dorothy
Nelson, Anne Tsong, Kay Tucker, Barbara Torgerson, and Judy Struck for serving up lunch;
Jeanne O'Connell and Leanne Chrisman for introducing the get-acquainted games;
Art Davis and
Dan Valdez for bringing some old-time tunes back to life;
Kathryn and Kent McKenzie for
captivating us with fun, old-fashioned relay games;
Greg deGouveia for transporting picnic-goers
on splendid pedicab rides and
Jolene Francis for being our masterful MC.
Of course, we
especially thank our Evangelism Team spouses who supported us
from the beginning stages of
this event until the very last box of supplies was packed away.
You won't want to miss it!
Janine Rush and the Evangelism Team

“Here we go a-caroling” around the neighborhood! |
|
Everyone is invited and encouraged to dress up in their Santa hats or festive woolens and come out for an evening of community outreach thru music. We will meet at the church at 6 p.m. on Sunday night, December 13, and from there go into our Faith neighborhood singing Carols and spreading cheer. Don’t worry, we will have wonderful choir members in each group to help lead the singing and keep us in tune! This is a great way to let our neighbors know who we are at Faith and a great way for us to reach out to them. |
Light refreshments including hot chocolate and cider will be provided by the Evangelism team. Please bring flashlights and wear warm clothes and sturdy shoes. We plan to walk the neighborhood for about an hour or hour and a half at the most. If you are interested in participating, please write down “caroling” on the back of your worship card or let the Church Office know. |
