Long Range Plan Adopted: Classical School, Active & Engaged Church are Two Main Goals

July 20, 2022 By Pastor Hendrix Leave a Comment

On Sunday, July, 17 the congregation of Faith Lutheran Church in assembly voted to adopt a long-range plan we have been developing with the help of our Synod’s evangelism and mission counselor.   Part of this plan involves the goal of opening a small classical school within three years, beginning with a cohort of K-2. We […]

CHRIST-CENTERED

We are all sinners in need of salvation. Jesus Christ came to win our forgiveness and life through His death and resurrection.

HISTORIC WORSHIP

We don’t do traditional worship, nor do we do contemporary worship.  We come to receive.  We don’t believe church services are a product churches can sell; rather, services are places and times where God gives us what we need.  So we join in doing what Christians have historically done: receive God’s gifts.

POWERFULLY BIBLICAL

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God, and that it is also clear, sufficient, and powerful to work faith in our hearts.

COMFORTING SERMONS

There’s nothing more comforting, or relevant, than forgiveness.  Our pastor applies the Word of God to our lives by preaching the Law (for repentance) and the Gospel (for forgiveness).

We need some help on Sunday folding and stapling 7 We need some help on Sunday folding and stapling 75 devotional booklets.  These devotions, based on the theme of Jesus telling Andrew to "Come and see," (Jn. 1:39) are from Steadfast Lutherans, and are all about the Gospel which the world needs to see at Christmas.

Every family in our congregation will receive one.  AND we encourage you to take some and give to your friends or neighbors!  The dates and times of our Advent & Christmas services are printed on the back, along with a invitation to "Come and see."
New welcome area, thanks to you who purchased chai New welcome area, thanks to you who purchased chairs! 

On the coffee table, you'll find a beautifully illustrated book on Handel's Messiah, "Messiah: The Greatest Sermon Ever Sung." 
 
Written by fellow ELS pastor Tony Pittenger, this book will be what we use for a new music-based Bible Study during our Advent meals this season.  If you are interested in a church trip to go see Handel's Messiah performed by the Madison Symphony Orchestra, let Pastor Hendrix know. (It's on a Wednesday evening, so only if there is enough interest, will we go; otherwise we will have our regularly scheduled Advent Vespers service)
"Lutherans are in a position to teach a much sound "Lutherans are in a position to teach a much sounder view of the past. The very structure of Lutheran observance draws attention to the enduring realities of divine providence. American evangelicals, who waste away with panting for the supernatural quick fix, and American liberals, who want to fix things by themselves and right away, both need to learn from Lutherans that God’s concern extends over decades and centuries as well as over days, weeks, and months. Lutherans, who know something about the long view of history, should be insulated against the instability of innovation and the overconfidence of ignorance. Many of America’s most energetic Christian leaders have cried with virtually the same words: “I have found something new. You must accept it or be lost.” Against this lust for novelty, the Lutheran sense of history stands as a sober witness. Its wisdom lies in the realization of how regular are the follies of humanity, how constant the grace of God. Lutherans should not be so filled with hubris as to deny the reality of historical change. But they are in a position to show that the accumulated testimony of the past is far more likely to plumb the depths of God’s character and the vicissitudes of human nature than the idiosyncratic voice of the present."

Mark Noll, “The Lutheran Difference,” from First Things, 1992.  HT: Rev. Tom Rank
