🎄✨🎁 Faith Minutes for Monday, December 8, 2025 ✨🎄🎁
Happy Monday! 🎄✨🎁 We hope you all had a great weekend!
The bulletin for Sunday, December 7, The Second Sunday in Advent 🕯️🕯️, is available here on our website. There are additional copies outside the office. The video of the service is here on our website.
A Congregational/Voters meeting has been scheduled for Sunday December 21 to present and discuss all of our Calling options and to decide how we would like to proceed.
This Wednesday and next Wednesday, St. Paul’s has Soup Supper at 5:00 pm and Midweek Advent Worship with Pr. Don Ray at 6:30 pm. Their Christmas worship will be at 10:15 am with Holy Communion.
For the second Advent Sunday, the Sunday School continued working on our wreath while we talked about the clues that help us understand the mystery of Advent. Sunday School meets after worship.
It’s the giving season! Instead of making our special offerings at only one or two services at the end of the year, we’re declaring that now through Sunday, January 4 is Faith’s “giving season.” Write “Special Offerings” on your check memo and generously support the Rescue Mission, Life Choices, Alatheia Riding Center and Brave Warriors locally; and Lutherans in Africa and Danelle Putnam Schumann internationally. – Stewardship
Join us on Christmas Eve at 6:00 for Candles and Carols 🕯️🙏🎄✨🎶🎵✨, a worshipful service of readings and songs. We’ll have a special guest reader, and our traditional Silent Night by candlelight.

We have completed the roofing on the Sunday School wing and half of the office. We wanted to recognize one of the preschooler fathers, Conner Vail, who owns RC Valley Roofing and his helper, Raul Chavez volunteered to put the new metal on. Also want to thank Mike Borman, Bill Leichner, Stan Delzer, Eric Loebsack, Shawn Robertson and Bob Koenig for helping with the demo and prep for the new roof.
The church office administrator will be out this week on Friday, and there will be a volunteer in the office.
The Altar Guild has ended the current Flower Program for worship floral arrangements effective January 1, 2026. If a congregational member would like to provide flowers for Sunday worship services, the member can:
💐 provide the flowers from a florist of your choice
💐 provide your own flowers
💐 order from the current floral provider, Liane Hickman at 509 885-8118
Members need to work directly with their selected florist. If Liane is selected, she will handle ordering, delivery of the flowers to the church, and collect payments from members. If a member chooses to provide flowers from a different source, the arrangement must be at the church no later than 9:00 am on Sunday. Members need to get any dedication information for the bulletin to Hollie in the office by noon on the Wednesday before. If you have any questions about this new policy, please contact Cindy Leichner, Anna Ericksen or Jane Watson.
Thank you very much to Pr. Jeffery Scheer and his wife Jin for being with us yesterday and leading us in Word and Sacrament
Happy Birthdays 🎂 this week to Justin Weeks, Alexis Fischer, Lorna Osborne, and Olivia Goodwan.
The lessons for this Sunday, December 14, The Third Sunday in Advent🕯️🕯️🕯️, will be from Isaiah 35; James 5:7-11; and Matthew 11:2-15. The lessons link to BibleGateway.com.
Have a great week! 🎁🎀🎄✨ God is coming soon! 🙏🙌
