●●●CONGREGATIONAL NEWS
Welcome! Please be sure to fill out
the Member/Guest card found in the pew. Whether you are
a guest or disciple of Faith Lutheran congregation your
presence in worship is important to us. If you have requests
for specific needs or prayers please be sure to note them on
this card.
Scrip Sales – May 22
Purchase gift cards for Menards, McDonalds, Wissota Meat
Market, Gordy’s and Kwik Trip. Our youth group has been
selling gift cards (scrip) to facilitate fundraising for the
2013 National Youth Gathering. The youth funds are getting a
1% to 10% return. Questions? Contact Jean Volrath.
It's time to start thinking about
VBS! We have our dates set! Carnival Kickoff is on
Saturday, August 3rd. The VBS program is on Sunday, August
4th -Tuesday, August 6th from 5:15 p.m. to about 8:15 p.m.
We need your help with the different aspects! Sign-up in the
narthex today.
An all congregational Circuit-Wide
Bike Ride is being planned for Saturday, June 1 (9am –
2:30pm). Meet here at church at 9am (or) at Peace Lutheran,
EC by 9:30am. We are gathering with fellow LCMS churches in
Eau Claire (Peace, Epiphany, Our Redeemer, Bethlehem) for
this event. Bring a dish to pass (which will be transported
to the park’s pavilion). A sign-up for participation is
available in the narthex. Questions? Contact Mike Kipp.
The results of the “Sharing of the
Peace” survey have been tabulated! This past week
council met and decided to forego “Sharing the Peace” during
worship services. The general consensus was 50/50; thus
council decided not to offer this option during worship.
It’s that time of year again! Time
to fill shifts at Country Fest (June 27-30) Here’s
how it works, if you volunteer to work you get a free pass
to Country Fest and they donate money to our youth. Last
year we filled our shifts and earned funds for our youth
program. We are arm-banding in the parking lot and running
armbands/parking passes to and from the cashiers and
vehicles. No figuring out money involved. Remember this is
an excellent way for youth to earn money for their accounts
if their parents, relatives, etc. work it or if they are
over 16 they can work it (with an adult from our
congregation). Contact Julie Schaller for more information.
Looking for a new career? Why
not consider Thrivent Financial? They offer wonderful
benefits and you’d be working in Chippewa Falls! Contact
Jennie Childs at 715.834.4761
ATTN: Women of Faith -- The
spring issue of LWML Quarterly is available from the table
