A Congregational/Voters meeting is scheduled for Sunday December 21 to present and discuss our Calling options and to decide how we would like to proceed.
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 Brunch follows worship this Sunday. We hope to see you there!
Faith’s widows support group, Naomi, will meet Tuesday, December 16, at 1:00 in the fellowship hall. Besides food and song, we will share an article about how we can turn our sorrow outward in love for others and service to God.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 Our beloved friend Pastor Gary Krumdieck passed away last week at home. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Please pray for Laura and their family. A service is planned for January 24 at 11:00 am.
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 tomorrow and next Friday, and there will be a volunteer in the office. The office will be closed from December 25-January 1.
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.
💐 The price for flowers including delivery will continue to be $40 per arrangement.
💐 Please leave a message when you call to place your order, as Liane does not answer calls from numbers that are unknown to her. She will put your number in her contacts for future orders.
💐 Please contact her at least a week in advance of your desired date.
💐 Her arrangements will stay fresh for up to two weeks if refrigerated.
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 this week and leading us in Word and Sacrament.
Have a great weekend! ✨🎀🎄🎁✨🕯️✨ God is coming soon! 🙏🙌
