THE WAY OF THE FIRST EVANGELICALS {GOOD NEWS-ERS}.

Topics include: Path(s?) to God, Law & Gospel, and How God works.

This will be the first in a three-part course. Each “course” will be 5 sessions. They are for those desiring membership or those who wish to know more fully what Scripture says. Membership can be gained by completing the first two courses: 101: “Knowing” & 201: “Understanding.” The third course, “Living,” will discuss Christian living and a life within the church.

Thursdays at 7pm

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.

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.
