🌞🍏🍎🌻 Faith Minutes Update for Friday, September 26, 2025 🌾🍁🍂
Happy Friday! 🌞🍏🍎🌻🍁🍂 We hope you’ve had a great week! 🙏🙌
The bulletin for this Sunday, September 28, The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, is here on our website. There are paper copies outside of the office. The ebulletin works very well on your phone if you would prefer a full bulletin with all the hymns. The worship will be livestreamed here on YouTube.
Upcoming Worship Services
September 28, Pentecost 16, Pr. Mark Griesse of Selah, WA, with Communion
October 5, Pentecost 17, Pr. Mark Bertermann of Kennewick, WA, with Communion
Sunday School This Week! We have a very special Sunday School lesson this week! Pastor Griesse's wife Yvonne will give us an introduction to Martin Luther, focusing on the importance of hymns to help us express our faith. Our hymnal has more than 25 hymns by Luther—listen, and you'll hear us singing some of them! Sunday School meets after worship.
In Loving Memory: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 The funeral service for Larry Barger will be tomorrow at 1:00 pm. Please pray for comfort for Kathryn, Amy, Cynthia, and the rest of their family. The bulletin is here and the service will be livestreamed here.
The Wednesday Afternoon Bible Study will next meet on October 8; many of us otherwise have travel plans. We plan on an in-depth study of the Book of Job using Concordia’s Lifelight curricula. Although we are all familiar with Job’s story, this will enable us to study the message's impact on our faith. A copy of the student guide is available for inspection on the library table. Please send a note to Hollie if you plan to attend so we can order additional books.
Altar Guild is hosting a Free Yard Sale of seasonal items, décor, glassware, crafting supplies, and more! 🎄🎀🕯 Please check out the tables in the Old Narthex to find your new treasures. All is free, donations to Altar Guild will be accepted. Emergency Contacts List: It’s time to update the Emergency Contacts List, sponsored by our Naomi widows’ group. This is a low-tech paper list that shows us how to contact your family or friend in case you should have an emergency at church. It supplements the computerized lists that Hollie and the elders have. We want to make sure we have the most current contact information for you. This list will be private and yet accessible in strategic locations in the church. Take an information sheet at the round library table if you need to sign up or make an update. We’ll keep the materials out through the month of September.
We will be revising our Prayer Chain list soon. 🙏 Please sign up on the Kiosk to be added to the new Prayer Chain. Talk to Eva Williams with any questions. Thank you for your time to pray for your congregation!
We need cookies for Coffee Fellowship! 🍪🍪🍪 Please bring cookies, labeled with the date, and leave them in the freezer in the kitchen.
Based on the biblical account of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1-4), the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of “mites” — offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations and the LCMS. The Mite Box is more than just a symbol of God’s provision — it’s a reminder that your offerings and prayers bring the love and hope of Jesus to those in need. You can also donate online at www.lwml.org/donate-online to make giving easy! We will celebrate Luther Women in Mission Sunday next week, October 5.
Please return your Portals of Prayer survey to Stan or to the office. We will continue to provide the devotionals to all who request them. Digital subscriptions are also available online.
Stewardship is featuring Lutheran Hour Ministries this quarter on our bulletin board in the old narthex. LHM does so many things to spread the Word that one bulletin board is hardly enough! Be sure to stop by and take a look.
Greetings from your librarian! We have a new book in our Church Library this month, donated by a member of our congregation and written by: Rev. Timothy Winterstein! “Worshiped and Glorified, A study on the Nicene Creed,” is now available for you to read. You can also listen to him share this book on Issues Etc. It may be used as a small group Bible study, or as a personal devotion. There are study questions at the end of each chapter. As a reminder, our library is robust and full of good Lutheran theology! Books donated should only be through CPH, our LCMS publishing company! Thank you!~ Lorna
Our holiday Special Offerings are coming right up. Which charities shall we give to? This year we’d like to build our local charities list from organizations that you are already working with, or are materially supporting. Visit the table in the narthex and let us know which local charities you support with your time and/or money.
In Loving Memory: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27. Former Faith member Bonnie Howeiller passed away this week. Her service will be October 18 at Grace Lutheran in Wenatchee; then her ashes will be buried with her husband’s in the Faith Lutheran Memorial Garden, with a reception here following.
Have a great weekend! 🌞🍏🍎🌻🍁🌾🍂 God is good, All the time; All the time, God is goooood! 🙏🙌

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
