It's Christmas at Faith!

Faith Church celebrates Christmas this week and next. This week, we are favored with a visit from Ron Parker who will lead us in song, prayer and scripture.

Ron is bringing his sons for some excellent music, and Michael gets to join them.

Sunday school starts with informal music at 9 a.m. Bible study begins around 9:35.

Upcoming events

Today, we heard from Jon Damaska about having peace through troubled times. It is the second Sunday in Advent, and we lit the candle of peace.

Next Sunday, Scott Yuille will speak on On Earth vs. In Earth. We'll light the third candle of Advent, the pink candle of JOY!

The Presbyterians have invited members to join them next Sunday (the 17th) after the service for a soup potluck and a Christmas escape room event.

On Christmas Eve, we'll light the Christ candle and share Christmas memories, carols and scriptures.

There will be no Christmas Eve candlelight service at Faith on Christmas, but members have been invited to join the Presbyterian Church at 5 p.m. for their candlelight service. 

NSU talk on the rise of anti-Jewish sentiment

  I meant to put this in the bulletin and didn't, but Art will be giving a talk on the rise of anti-Jewish sentiment in Nazi Germany Wednesday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. in Johnson Fine Arts Center, Room 181. 

Giving Thanks for All His Blessings

 
Faith Church wishes a happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We had a wonderful time with Pete Burckhard (and Bob on harmonica) this morning. Thanks, Pete, for sharing the gospel through song!

 Sunday, Nov. 26, we'll be having a service called "Thanksgiving Leftovers," and we'll be alternating song and scripture, and enjoying a time of fellowship and sharing.

Adult Sunday school (starting with jam session at 9 a.m.) explores the question: Do you have what it takes to be a sheep? 

Worship is at 10:30 a.m.

Bread

 The Rev. Jon Damaska speaks on Luke 11 tomorrow in a message called "Bread." Worship starts at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday school for kids and adults begins at 9 a.m. with music, 9:30 a.m. with Bible study.

 Adult Sunday school will be on Joshua and includes the question, Who will you serrve?

All Saints Sunday

Fall Back this Saturday!

 This week, it's All Saints Sunday, and Faith Church welcomes Rev. Eldon Reich to the pulpit. Sunday school begins at 9 a.m. with music, followed by Bible study at 9:35 a.m. Worship begins at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Reich will look at Luke 7 and give the message: The Home of the Neglected Guest. 

Second Retirement Potluck

It's not a second potluck; it's a second retirement. We would have put "final retirement," but you just never know. In any case, Faith Church celebrates 15 wonderful years with Jack and Kathy and sadly says goodbye as they retire, giving up the long trek from Britton to Aberdeen.

Sunday school begins at 9 a.m. with Bible study starting at 9:35. Worship, and Jack's last message at Faith Church, is at 10:30.

Afterwards, join us in the fellowship hall downstairs for a potluck dinner. Pork loin will be provided and members bring everything else to share.

Goodbye and God Bless You!
