ANNOUNCEMENTS
“This coming Advent, Faith is entering into a time of spiritual renewal and reflection. As a congregation we will be participating in program called The Nourshing Vocation Project. This is a program focused on helping individuals and congregations to discern spiritually their vocations. Please see Pastor’s article for more information. As part of this program, there will be opportunity to participate in small groups. In these groups, you will be invited to reflect and discern together as we embark in this program. If you are interested in being in a small group, please let Pastor or the office know. If there any questions, please reach out to Pastor.”
Faith will be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner in the Fellowship Hall. We have applied for Thrivent Dollars to help fund this wonderful event. We will meet at 3:00 pm on Thursday, November 28, 2024, to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings with our church family (and maybe watch some football.) So, if you’re looking for a place to go or just don’t feel like cooking come and join us. Look for the sign-up sheet on the Foyer bulletin board. All are invited! For questions or more information,
please see Janet Hill or Mary Lou Foster.
Friday, November 8 (4-8PM) and Saturday, November 9 (9AM-2PM)
We will need members of the congregation to help out during the event as well as before the event as we need some muscle for set-up and then take-down.
