Rainbow Days Collection

We still need 38 baskets by Wednesday to meet our goal!


We are partnering with Rainbow Days during March to make sure the families they serve know “some bunny” loves them and is thinking about them. We need your help making Easter baskets for homeless families of all age groups-- infants, elementary aged children, teens, and parents. Our goal is to make 60 Easter baskets. Basket supplies are easy to find at dollar stores, Target dollar bins, Amazon, and Oriental Trading Company. Drop off day is March 17th when we’ll have a basket wrapping party in the Love to the Max Center from noon to 3pm, with lunch provided. Since our party is on St. Patrick’s Day we encourage you to wear green! To sign up for baskets and the basket wrapping party, check out the Rainbow Days sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ea9ac29a3f85-rainbow
 
If you want to go above and beyond, you can also help distribute the baskets with Rainbow Days: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054da4aa2ba2f58-2021

Easter Art Help

Feeling Artsy? Like to make pretty things?

Sign up to help make BLOSSOM BRANCHES for Easter! We need an explosion of Spring to grace the sanctuary for our Easter worship services. We have all the materials, we just need some helping hands!

Work will involve making blossoms from tissue paper and using hot glue to attach them to real tree branches.

Work days are scheduled for:

  • Mon, March 15 from 4-7pm
  • Tues, March 16 from 4-7pm
  • Wed, if needed.

Text Nancy Kimbrell if you are available and indicate which session you can help (or if you would prefer a morning or night-time option) at

(214) 263-5501.

Bring an extra glue gun and light cheap gloves if you’ve got them. Meet in the Gathering Place at Faith. Hope to see you there!

Faith Kids


Howdy Faith Kid's Families,

Faith Kids will return to in person worship on Sunday, March 21st for the 11:00am Contemporary service and then again on March 28th for the 9:00am Classic service.

These first two worship events for Faith Kids will be a fun party to celebrate Faith Kids returning to in person worship!
Faith Kids is for children 3 years old to 5th grade. To register for Faith Kids in March, go to the worship sign up https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ea9ac29a3f85-inperson and the second question box will ask if your child(ren) will attend nursery or Faith Kids. Please put their name(s) here. For the safety of all involved, please also fill out this link before your child(ren) attend Faith Kids for the first time. https://web4u.forms-db.com/view.php?id=134792

As we restart Faith Kids Worship there are several changes you need to know about.

  1. Faith Kids will now start at the beginning of Worship. You will drop your child(ren) off at the Love to the Max Center before the service begins, and then pick them up after worship at the same location.
  2. We will be using the worship videos that Pastor Nick and Yajaira have created for the worship and God story time component. The children will then be put into age groups for snack time and their faith themed craft and will conclude with a fun activity!


We also encourage you to continue to join us for worship virtually. This week we begin to talk about Holy Week.

Please visit the Faith Kids Facebook page in order to stay up to date on activities and events. www.facebook.com/FaithkidsFloMo

For any questions please email Pastor Nick at FaithKids@faithce.com

With grace and peace,
From Amanda, Ms. Yajaira, and Pastor Nick

Faith Kids Lenten Family Journey/First Communion Introduction


Faith Kids Families, this Sunday, March 14th at 12:30pm join us in the Love to the Max Center as a family  to learn about the Last Supper and communion while at the same time baking communion bread. This event is also a wonderful opportunity for families who are interested in having their children take communion for the first time. We will talk about first communion, and then we will celebrate First Communion on Saturday, April 3rd at the Family Easter Service at 10:00am.

God SQD


This past Sunday, God SQD met in the Love to the Max Center and packed over 20 boxes for Lovepacs. They also used the opportunity to build relationships that matter by working with the local Boy Scout troop to pack the boxes. We also enjoyed some yummy tacos! For my information about God SQD, please contact Pastor Nick n.schmidlin@faithce.com 

The next God SQD service opportunity is Wednesday, March 17th from 12pm to 3pm. We will be wrapping Easter baskets for homeless families, and we will also record a skit for the Family Easter Service. This is an event for the whole family. In this season of Lent it is important to lift up service and giving. We would love for you to make a basket together as a family. The sign up link is below.

Easter Lilies


As we plan an explosion of Spring in the sanctuary for the Easter services, we invite you to purchase one or more of the Easter lilies used to decorate the sanctuary in honor/remembrance of a loved one or "to the Glory of God". Each lily plant is $15. You will be able to take your lily(s) home after the 11:00am Easter service. You just need to do two things:
  • Email Heather at h.johnson@faithce.com with your name, the number of lilies you are purchasing, and the name(s) in honor/memory of. Please put an H or M in front of each name so we know the type of designation.
  • Then pay your amount (number of lilies x $15) on Pushpay using the Holiday Plants Giving Type  https://pushpay.com/g/faithchangeseverything?src=hpp OR by check, made out to Faith with Lily in the memo. You can drop off checks in the offering box in the back of the sanctuary or mail to our address: 6000 Morriss Rd, Flower Mound, TX 75028.

Cheers to the Good News


Last time we had a blast talking all about Lent and Holy Week and what these seasons mean to us. Join us in March for good drinks, good food, and nourishing conversation on the topic of saints.

Cheers to the Good News will be on Thursday, March 18th at 6:00pm at 3 Nations Brewing, 1033 Vandergriff Dr, Carrollton, TX 75006.

Page Turners Book Group

 
Page Turners book discussion group will meet on Saturday, March 27, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. via zoom. We will be discussing The Return by Nicholas Sparks.

Ministries that Matter First Quarter Recap


At the beginning of the year, we transitioned from our Noisy Offering to the Ministries that Matter offering and service events. In January, we funded $800 in emergency relief to our sister church in Sierra Leone which will be used for education and vital repairs due to the rainy season. Our January contribution amounted to 25% of the total funds sent from the Synod.

In February, not only did we collect over $2000 for Lovepacs, but we also met our goal of packing 20 boxes for children for their upcoming Spring Break. The boxes were packed by God SQD and our local Boy Scout Troop.

Our March service event is the Rainbow Days Easter baskets collection. See the Rainbow Days Collection article above for how you can help.

Each month we will continue to partner with local, national, and global ministries to provide financial assistance as well as service-oriented events so that we can continue building relationships that matter and being God’s activity in the world.
