What’s happen’n Faith family?. Jon Oney here. Just finished reading the Hunger Games trilogy and I can finally say that I am an official Hunger Games fan. I have read the books and know the ending.

You ever wish life was like that? Well here is the good news—we know the ending. Christ will come again to renew this earth as we learned a few weeks ago in our “Come Together” series. This week we will be focusing on what to do in the meantime. Mike Lotzer will be taking us through a passage in Ephesians to talk about the importance of our witnessing and our worship. They both send a message to the world here and now. It will be a message you do not want to miss.

Speaking of things you don’t want to miss, I still have many positions open in the Christmas choir. I can tell you the success of our Christmas program hinges on this choir. So please, we need you to be a part of this awesome experience. Children from 8years and older. You can make it a Family event. There will even be a meal served and everything! It will be a Christmas to remember.

Other things you might need a reminder of are listed below. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Otherwise, this is Jon Oney signing off. See you this weekend!


HERE IS WHAT IS COMING UP AT FAITH

50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Sunday, November 11, 6-8pm. Tickets on sale in church lobby on Sundays. Tickets are $35, but contact [email protected] if money may be a hindrance to your celebrating with us.

SANTA LUCIA & BAKING NIGHTS
This has been an awesome program put on by Mille Johnson and her Daughter Angie for the past 26 years. This years Santa Lucia program promises to deliver the same great quality it has for the past 25 years. Tickets go on sale November 4th – 25th.

Also, this year Santa Lucia needs some help with baking. Because of a change in regulations, any food being served at Lucia must be baked in an industrial kitchen here at the church. In order to follow these regulations, we have decided to put on some baking events. They are Wednesday November 7th 10am-3pm & 5pm-9pm; Thursday November 8th, 5pm-9pm; & Saturday November 17th, 9am – 1pm. If you would like to help with this please contact Beth Bennett at 952.890.0684 or [email protected].
