Sunday worship

Worship tomorrow is at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. Pastor Jack will give the message God is With Us, Then and Always and will look at Isaiah 65.

There will not be adult Sunday school since Art will be gone this week.
Sunday school for kids is a little after 9 a.m.

Harvest Festival is starting. The church will be matching Harvest offerings throughout the season. Offerings will be given to the Salvation Army and Safe Harbor.

You may have noticed a big change in the education wing. The Prairie Schole group now holds classes there on Fridays.
 They have moved all our storage items into the old computer room. They have offered to move the items for us to either the Salvation Army or Habitat for Humanity. 
  If you have items among church storage that you do not want given to one of these groups please let Donna Marmorstein know so we can keep the item at church. We'll mark it so it will not be given away.

Don't forget to pick up a calendar on the table by the upstairs coat rack. These are 13-month calendars. They are 2020 calendars, but they start on Dec. 1, 2019.

Faith shares education wing with Schole group

Prairie Schole group is now using the education wing at Faith Church. This group is made up of about 17 families and 50 or so home-schooled kids that get together each Friday to share and learn.
Faith is happy to have a lively bunch of learners from all over Northeastern South Dakota meeting in its facilities.
Families from Redfield area, Eureka, Onaka, Columbia and Aberdeen, and probably other areas as well, take part.
