5th Sunday Services
There are usually 4 -5 months out of a year that have 5 Sundays. At Faith, we have a “traditional” worship service every 5th Sunday. As Lutherans, we have a long history of holding what is known as Divine Service. These worship services include a fixed order of worship called Liturgical worship, where our worship follows a set order that the congregation follows. Liturgy comes from the Greek term, Leitourgia, which means “the work of the people”. This liturgical service invites the congregation to actively participate in responsive confession and prayer, scripture reading, classic hymns, creeds and of course, the Lord’s Supper… Communion. This type of worship has been celebrated for centuries and is a Christ-centered worship focusing on Word and Sacrament that has marked Lutheran worship for generations.
This Sunday is a 5th Sunday, which means that we are holding our traditional worship that is read and experienced out of our Lutheran Hymnals. Please come and worship with us in this historical format as we praise God and receive from Him the wonderful gifts He offers us through worship! Come receive what Jesus gives. All are welcome.
Welcome Our New DCE Intern –
Jen Loeber!
We are excited to welcome Jen Loeber as our new DCE Intern at Faith Lutheran Church! Jen will be installed during worship on Sunday, August 2nd, and we invite everyone to join us as we celebrate and pray for her as she begins her ministry with our church family.
As Jen settles into her new home, we'd love to bless her with a "Pantry Shower." Donations of non-perishable pantry items and household essentials are greatly appreciated. Gift cards to local grocery stores are also warmly welcomed, allowing Jen to purchase the foods and items she enjoys. Please bring all items to Amber in the office. We would like all donations together before August 2nd.
We are also looking for volunteers to help Jen move into her new home. Once her move-in date is confirmed, we'll share the details with the congregation. If you're willing to help unload her U-Haul and welcome her to the community, please watch for more information.
Thank you for helping us give Jen a warm Faith Lutheran welcome!
