The event will take place at Faith Lutheran Church, in the back of church (parking lot side), outside on December 6 at 4pm.

Our Living Nativity Family Christmas Experience this year will bring us to the real life Christmas of St. Nicholas. This smaller production will be in commemoration of the feast day of St. Nicholas.

Hear the story of the real life St. Nicholas (or, as better known through Dutch, Santa Claus). St. Nicholas cared deeply about children, especially those didn’t have much. He gave gifts, echoing the love of God and the greatest gift of all, Jesus.

Come along with us as we travel back in time to meet the good bishop. After hearing from St. Nicholas, join members of Faith Lutheran Church, Oregon, WI for some Christmas caroling.

We will practice physical distancing and remain outdoors the entire time. Every family that attends will receive a free Christmas book (with the option to pick one at various reading levels).

It all takes place at 4pm on Sunday, December 6, the feast day of St. Nicholas.

Out of School Learning Space. Faith Lutheran Church intends to open a very low-cost, supervised space for up to 15 children ages 8 and up to attend during the school day.

Interested in registering a student?

We are seeking volunteers (people to take turns cleaning in the evenings, and provide some supervision), and donations to make this center a possibility. Please contact Pastor Hendrix if you are able to help.

While some may feel uncomfortable gathering in groups due to the ongoing pandemic, it is nevertheless important to continue to be fed with the forgiveness, life, and salvation of Jesus.

For this reason, Pastor is setting aside Thursdays each week for individuals or families to schedule times for either Private Communion, or Private Confession & Absolution.

The Lutheran Church teaches that private confession is useful for all Christians, and especially those who feel burdened or anxious by their sins. “Of Confession we teach that Private Absolution ought to be retained in the churches, although an enumeration of all sins is not necessary in confession. Indeed, it is impossible according to the Psalm, “Who can understand his errors?” [Psalm 19:12]” (AC XI)

Pastor Hendrix’s sermon from Trinity Sunday covered racism and the unrest from the perspective of the revealed Word of the Triune God. Many have asked for a written copy, so in addition to the podcast, the manuscript copy can be downloaded here.

Many feel deeply hurt in our country and understanding the Ten Commandments allows us to begin to understand why. But only a God who knows the deep hurt that His people feel is One who can heal it. Thankfully, this is the God we have: One who condescended to absorb our mess and stand with us in our evil.
