"Lift Up Your Hearts!"
If someone told you all these crazy things about themselves – including that they were God – would you believe them? What if that person also told you they were going to rise from the dead…and did.
How would that impact how you viewed everything else they ever said?
Join us April 1, a date coincidentally focused on ‘lies’ as we conclude our series on the Lord’s Prayer and dive into why we say “Amen” because of Easter.
Easter Sunday | April 1
Divine Service | 9:00am
Midweek Lenten series for 2018: The Lord’s Prayer & The Lord’s Passion
All members & friends of Faith are invited to attend a St. Valentine’s Day get together at Erika & Kevin Klahn’s home on February 10 from 6pm-10pm.
On Sunday, February 11 we will have a special opportunity during the Bible Class hour. We will learn about the Divine Service and service opportunities in the Divine Service (altar guild, ushering, etc.). The class is meant to give confirmation students a role in the service of the church, but is open to all.
On March 10, we will go bowling as a congregation at the Oregon Bowl from 3pm-6pm.
During the Saturdays in Advent, Faith will be hosting a “vintage” Christmas for Kids. Maybe not exactly like you grew up with, but even older – even more “vintage.” Each Saturday during December, we will meet at Faith to learn and rehearse a program which will be performed on Christmas Eve morning, December 24th at 9:00am. We won’t only rehearse however, we’ll also have activities and treats – kind of like an Advent VBS.
So what makes our program “vintage”?
2017 is the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation. So, we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate a “vintage” Lutheran Christmas. Martin Luther, the German monk who began the Reformation, also had a lot to do with our modern celebration of Christmas. We’ll “join” Luther in a program that Luther himself wrote for his family to focus on what Christ’s birth meant for them – and the world. In doing so, perhaps we’ll look at Christmas through young eyes again, better appreciating this amazing holy day.
We invite non-members as well as members to join Christmas for Kids! Please register below.
Email Scott Mikkelson if you have any questions.
On November 5, 2017, Faith hosted its 9th annual Military Recognition program. It was a day to learn about, honor, and commemorate God’s Two Kingdoms.
During our Divine Service, we remembered, honored, and commemorated the Kingdom of the Right, the Communion of Saints – all those Christians living and still fighting in the Church Militant on earth against temptations of the devil, the world, and our flesh, as well as all those Christians who have already attained the victory through Christ, the Church Victorious in Heaven. A bell was tolled as we remembered each person from our congregation who joined the heavenly church in the past year.
During our program afterwards downstairs, we remembered, honored, and commemorated the Kingdom of the Left, the World and all in authority – including those who serve our country currently, those who have served in the past, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Their service to our temporal country, as well as the uniforms they wear, help us all to keep in mind the greater spiritual battle we face, but more importantly, the uniform Jesus has given each one of us, the robe of righteousness, reminding us that it’s not about us, but about something greater: God’s Eternal Country, the Kingdom of Heaven.
Denny Behr, Master Chief (ret.), and a member of our own congregation was the featured speaker, telling about his service to our country in the Navy.
We look forward to next year’s event – the Sunday before Veteran’s Day.
