Happy Monday! 🍁🍂 We hope that you had a great weekend! 🍁🍂
The bulletin for Sunday, November 8, The Twenty-Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, is available here on our website. There are additional copies outside the office. The video of the service is here on our website, and the sermon is here.
Yesterday's Sunday School lesson was “Hope in Hardship,” where we learned about Jacob’s favorite son, Joseph. Just about everything went wrong for him; yet he saved the world. Who else do we think of Who did that? “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” (Genesis 50:20). Sunday School meets after worship.
Do you enjoy playing Board Games... Card Games... Video Games... or really games of any kind? 🎮👾 Then join us on Saturday, November 21, in the fellowship hall for the first Family Game Night from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm. All you need to do is bring a bag of your favorite game snack to share (the less prep-work the better). You can either bring a game you would like to play, or we will also have multiple tables set up for you to play the game style of your choice. If you aren’t into games, we’ll also have some puzzles to build. All ages are welcome to join us for this time of fellowship and fun!
“Heaven and Nature Sing!” Hymns, Psalms and Sing-Alongs will fill the morning, you will not want to miss out! 🌲❄️🎼🎵🎶 Plan to attend this year’s Advent Coffee, Saturday, December 5, at 10:00 am here at Faith. Tickets are $10 each and will be available for purchase Sundays, November 8, 15, and 22 after Divine Service. Seating is limited, so be sure to purchase your tickets early. Invite a friend! Join your heart and voice with ours as we “prepare Him room” this Advent Season. Contact Kathy Visser 509-679-5082 with any questions.
Just a reminder about how to sponsor and provide a flower arrangement when you sign up on Faith’s flower chart. 💐🌸🏵️🌹🌺 You will be responsible for furnishing the arrangement, either by calling Liane Hickman at 509 885-8118 who will make and deliver an arrangement to the church on the prior Saturday, OR by you furnishing a flower arrangement (Safeway, Fred Meyer, Costco, etc. or your yard) and bringing it to the church before the Sunday service begins. Liane has a mailbox at Faith where you can put her $45 payment. You will also need to contact our church secretary, Hollie, by Wednesday if you would like something printed in the Sunday bulletin about why you are sponsoring the flower arrangement. Thank you for helping to beautify the altar area as we worship our Lord.
Please see the thank you letter below from Pastor Simmons.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This morning as I read Psalm 26 and saw “O Lord, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.” I couldn’t help but smile as I reflected upon what a blessing it is to not only be a part of The Lord’s Kingdom, that is the one true Church, but also to be placed here and made a part of this family of Faith Lutheran Church in East Wenatchee. Your love and compassion toward my family never ceases to amaze me. From day one (which is hard to believe was already 4 – almost 5 months ago!) we have seen your outpouring of Christ’s love upon us and there hasn’t been a moment we haven’t felt at home here.
I want to sincerely thank you all for your generosity toward us yesterday in your pastor appreciation gifts. It was a wonderful surprise and a tremendous blessing to us. I have felt loved and appreciated from the moment I was installed (and even before that, if I’m being honest) and certainly did not need this additional recognition; however, I am humbled and honored that you saw it fit to bless my family and me in this way. We are so thankful to share in the ministry of this congregation. To share in the sentiment of St. Paul, Silvannus, and Timothy toward their congregation in Thessalonica, “We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” Thank you for your love and care of our family!
In the Love of Christ,
Pastor Simmons
