Mercy Ministry Update from Brian Jones

We understand that some of you are still facing difficult times.  If you are facing a financial need but have been reluctant to ask for help because you think another needs it more, please reconsider.  Our Mercy Fund has Walmart gift cards, Target gift cards, and Arco fuel cards.  Financial assistance is also available to help with payments or bills.  We stand ready to serve and bless you with joy and discretion.  Please contact Brian to learn more.

Giving Reminder

Thank you for continuing to give to the ministry here at Faith!  We have three convenient ways of receiving your support for the Lord's work.  One way is through online giving.  You can also deposit your giving on Sunday mornings in one of the locking offering boxes at the rear of the Sanctuary.  Lastly, you can mail your giving to the Church Office.

Prayer Requests
We want to be praying for you.  If you have a prayer request you would like to share with our Prayer Team, please send us an e-mail.  If you wish to limit your request to the Elder Team, please be sure to indicate "Elders Only" in the subject line of your e-mail.  You can also submit prayer requests using the digital L.K.i.T. on Sunday mornings through the Church Center App.
