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 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.
