May 4, 2023 By Pastor Hendrix Leave a Comment

For the past three-quarters of a year, a committee has been hard at work exploring the idea of opening a classical school at Faith.

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).

Pastor Hendrix gave a presentation this weekend at Pastor Hendrix gave a presentation this weekend at the 2023 Family Altar Conference by Return to Wittenberg.

https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/faithoregon/episodes/The-Liberal-Arts-and-the-Lifting-of-Hearts-e24lal4/a-a8ut70a

The liberal arts (liberal in the classic sense) are meant for freedom. After the Reformation, the Lutheran emphasis on a liberal arts education led to unprecedented social mobility.  It was a flourishing of all of society.  Rev. Jeff Hendrix makes the case that perhaps this type of education is a remedy for many of our burdens today.
"He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit "He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God." Acts 1:2–3.

Additional topics on classical education and liberal arts will be offered.  Faith Lutheran Church is in the process of opening a new hybrid classical school here in Oregon: Sursum Corda Classical School, with the express purpose to allow children to "lift up their hearts." We are partnering with Return to Wittenberg, an organization of dedicated pastors and laity who offer conferences and worship aimed at providing encouragement, instruction and community on the basis of a shared love for Christ and the teachings of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church.

Surety for my heav'nly bless,
And my baptism a reflection
Of Thy death and resurrection."

A little more info on our worship: 
Worship that welcomes children. 
Even from their earliest years, children are models of faith for all of us. Jesus himself said so. Our worship format not only encourages families to be together, but is designed for active engagement and participation by all, including children.  There is much repetition week after week, and a healthy amount of singing.  After all, what child doesn't love music or singing?  After coming about four times, or within a month, even most toddlers can recite by heart certain parts of our liturgy!  What a joy it is to hear children confess "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
The sights and sounds of children are a great joy to us. Discover the blessing of worship with your children.

For a truly memorable and unique experience, join us tonight at 7:32pm at our sister church, Western Koshkonong Lutheran Church near Cottage Grove to celebrate the Easter Vigil.  The service begins outside with a bonfire before processing inside for a sensory-filled service of darkness and light, fire and water, death and life.
