Greetings Faith Covenant!
Pastor Mike here with your weekly Faith Update. Don't miss the great things coming up at Faith Covenant! From a Mega-Garage Sale that funds God's work globally to a great outdoor concert that supports FCC's role in the fight against human trafficking there is something for everyone. Below are the opportunities and updates in detail. As one of your pastors I want to thank you for the increasing financial generosity that we have seen in the past few weeks offerings. Summer is historically a time when many churches struggle to meet budget and to date, all of our bills our paid as we continue to fund missions, and save for over-due repairs to our facility and grounds. Your consistency and mine with tithes and offerings enables this church to be effective every month of the year. Lastly, I want to address something our staff has discussed recently - the need to continually create a culture of honor. Honoring each other across generations and across opinions of worship style, strategy, and individual preference is something that sets Christ-followers apart from the rest of humanity. Though respect is something that must be earned, honor, in Christian community, must be freely given. To that end I challenge us as a church to pray about how each one of us can create a more tangible culture of honoring one another at Faith Covenant Church. I'm excited to see how God might stir us as we consider this challenge and would love to hear from you regarding creating a culture of honor.
Thank you for sharing your journey with me and my family! It is a privilege to serve as one of your Co-Lead Pastors!
In Christ,
Mike Lotzer

Employment Opportunity: Interim Children’s Ministry Coordinator
I want to ask for your prayers and support as we say goodbye and well-done to our Children's Ministry Director Jon Dack and his family. Jon has accepted a Pastoral position with a church in Maple Grove and will be leaving our staff on July 31. Though this is a great opportunity for him and for the church he will serve, we will genuinely miss Jon as a team member and a leader at Faith. So in this time of transition, Faith Covenant Church is seeking a part-time temporary Children’s Ministry Coordinator. This role will coordinate all Children’s Ministry programming in August and into September, with a possibility of extending beyond that as needed (until our full time position is hired). Position is 10-15 hours per week with semi-flexible office hours; Sunday mornings are necessary, as well as Wednesday nights starting mid-September. An excellent candidate will have: -Past experience in Children’s Ministry coordination -A personality that brings stability and warmth in the midst of transition -Attention to details; well-organized -Ability to teach children ages 4 years through grade 5 -Availability weekdays during the day for team meetings. Current Faith Covenant Church attendees, and specifically Children’s Ministry volunteers familiar with our program, are encouraged to apply. Please submit cover letter and resume to Lynn Nunn by July 26 or sooner: [email protected].
