Time Change Sunday

 Faith Church enjoyed a message on the Good Samaritan Sunday. Pastor Gary Compton spoke on the three attitudes in the parable: What's yours is mine (the thieves'); What's mine is mine (the priest's and Levite's); What's mine is yours (the Samaritan).

 This week, Pastor Eldon Reich speaks on Jonah, and since it is All Saints Sunday, we will be remembering those from the congregation lost to death this year.

 Don't forget to turn clocks back Saturday night since we're saying goodbye to Daylight Savings Time.

 

A Time for Everything

 This week, Faith is favored with a message by Rev. Gary Compton. He will once again speak on Ecclesiastes in his sermon, "A Time for Everything."

 We lost a dear member, Arlene Wiest, this week. Her funeral service will be at Faith at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 3 with Rev. Eldon Reich officiating.

 An after-church potluck will be happening on Sept. 29. Make sure to invite friends and family!

 If you haven't seen the renovations in the education wing, you are in for a big surprise. It looks GREAT up there!
