This week in Sunday School, we started our Advent Journey! 🕯️ Sunday School meets after worship.
LWML/Women’s Circle meets today at 2:00 pm for our December Meeting and cooking exchange! 🍪🍪🍪
Today is Giving Tuesday. There are lots of local opportunities for your giving, or our special offerings for Giving Season, or you may support the LCMS program of your choice at lcms.org/givenow.
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
The Christmas Congregational meal this year will be a Christmas Brunch on Sunday, December 14, following the worship service. 🎄🎁✨ Women’s Circle, with Thrivent Action Dollars, will purchase all ready-to-serve foods. No cooking! No cost! No late hours clean-up! Sign up by December 7 to determine the correct food purchases. Following the brunch, we will enjoy a carol sing and a white elephant gift exchange. All gifts should be family-friendly. Fun and fellowship! Plan to attend!
Faith Lutheran preschool annual Christmas raffle! 🎄🎁✨ Tickets are $1! Prizes include: Three Nights Stay in downtown Chelan home; Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (large basket); A Christmas Wish (large basket); Farm Fresh Christmas (medium basket); Peace on Earth Tower (medium basket); Jesus is the Light of the World lantern; Gingerbread Spice and Everything Nice gingerbread house full of goodies; Have Yourself a Very Merry Christmas bear aprons; Christmas Memories quilt; and a crocheted baby blanket. 6 tickets for $5, 12 tickets for $10, and 25 tickets for $20!
The church office administrator will be out this week on Friday, and there will be a volunteer in the office on those days.
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.
Happy Birthday 🎂 yesterday to Kathleen Ebanez and this Sunday to Marita Hinderer!
The lessons for this Sunday, December 7, The Second Sunday in Advent🕯️🕯️, will be from Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13; and Matthew 3:1-12. The lessons link to BibleGateway.com.
Have a great week! 🎄🎁✨ God is coming soon! 🙏🙌
