Wish List

December 18, 2018 by Pastor Hendrix Leave a Comment

The end of the year is a time of giving.  Often we see that we have “extra” from the Lord (which is really His in the first place) to give.  Below are some items that various committees of Faith have decided would be nice to have.  These are things that our committees think will benefit those we serve in one way or another. 

Use your “designated offering” envelopes to give towards a certain item.

Thrivent Members may also apply for up to 2 Action Grants per year, each in the amount of $250.  Many items on this list may fit the criteria for the grants.  Talk to Pastor or Rick W. if you need help applying.

Cymbelstern“Cymbal Star.” (Elders/Worship)

Goal: $1100 – FUNDED!

A musical instrument addition to the organ.  When engaged, the star rotates, producing a continuous tinkling sound. Common in Lutheran churches in the 16th-18th centuries.  Used during the Sanctus, a doxology, or other “bright” hymns.


New Liturgical Banners from Ad Crucem (Altar Guild)

$300 per season set ($150 per banner x 2 for each season)
LENT BANNERS FUNDED!

Priority: Lent, Easter, & Trinity Seasons.  These liturgical banners were designed by a Bethany Grad and member of a church of our fellowship.  They are Christ-centered and combine themes from an entire season.  The entire collection of banners can be viewed here.

Christmas Schedule

December 17, 2018 by Pastor Hendrix Leave a Comment

Advent 4 (Children’s Service): Dec 23, 9:00am

We celebrate the season of Advent before Christmas (“Advent” is Latin for “Coming” as in Christ’s coming to us). Our children’s service will help us close out the season of Advent and welcome in Christmas.

Christmas Eve (Lessons & Carols): Dec. 24, 7:00pm

Our Christmas Eve service will be a “traditional” service of Lessons and Carols. But more than traditional, it will be historic. The service will include many different hymns and prayers centered around ancient “antiphons” (refrains of Scripture verses).

 Christmas Day (Divine Service): Dec. 25, 9:00am

Christmas isn’t complete with “Christ’s Mass,” where Christ comes to us in His true body and blood in Holy Communion. Like most churches, we reserve Communion for those who are communicant members. But you are invited to join us for the entire service. The service uses an ancient order with hymns, lessons, sermon, prayers, and Holy Communion.

1st Sunday of Christmas:  Dec. 30, 9:00am
Caroling to shut-ins at 10:30am

12th Day of Christmas Party:   Jan. 5, 5:00-8:00pm(ish) at the Parsonage

Festival of Epiphany: Jan. 6, 9:00am
