Wild Wild West Family Dance is coming Saturday, February 4th 5:30-7:30 pm. It is for the whole family and it is planned to be an evening fun, we hope you’ll join us.
It is our first crossover event of 2023 which means it is sponsored by both Faith Lutheran Church and our Faith Lutheran School PTL. It is a great way for you to meet families from our school and church.
There are three ways you can participate.
1) provide a snack for the event. This Sunday, before or after worship, pull off the glass wall (between the lobby and the sanctuary), a cactus or cowboy boot and purchase the item and return to the church by February 4th.
2) Come to the Wild Wild West Family Dance. Come to the event even if you don’t like to dance, it’s gonna be fun.
3) Invite someone to come with you. You just never know when an invitation to an evening of fun might open the door to connect someone to Jesus.
Hope to see you ALL at the Wild Wild West Family Dance, Saturday, February 4th, 5:30-7:30 pm, in the gym. Remember to park yourhorses in the back parking lot.

Multi-Generational Family Bible Study
Sunday, February 12
We are having our second of three planned multi-generational family Bible studies in the cafeteria between services on Sunday, February 12. We hope to have the children, youth, parents, and adults together for Sunday school. Our first class in January was quite informative and enjoyable with robust participation by all. Families will be joined at their study tables by other members of the congregation.
Come join us for some food, fellowship, learning, and fun. Drinks and treats time goes from 9:10 to 9:30 AM and again from 10:30 to 10:50 AM. The family Bible study goes from 9:30 to 10:30 AM.
Currently our children and adults are studying the same Enduring Faith Bible study curriculum on Sunday mornings. It traces God’s plan of salvation throughout the entire Bible—pointing students to Jesus, their Savior.
The lesson in week 6 on February 12 is “Hope in Hardship.” The account of Jacob’s favorite son, Joseph occupies a turning point in the history of God’s people. The unusual timeline of Joseph’s life includes him being despised by his brothers, being sold into slavery, attaining success and then losing it all to false accusations, being imprisoned, and serving in the court of Pharaoh. Joseph summarizes his life in one sentence addressed to his brothers, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.”
By studying God’s Word together, we show that Jesus has called us to a lifelong journey of learning with Him and that, in Christ, we have unity in His promises, love and forgiveness. Parents may also take home some ideas to help carry on biblical discussions with their children throughout the week.
A reminder that February 19th at noon is the deadline for Faith members to submit nominations for our next pastor. The paper form for you to use is available in the Narthex with a cover letter attached that explains how to complete the form. Please read the instructions carefully and place the completed form in the box.
Also, please continue to be in prayer throughout this process as we ask the Holy Spirit to provide guidance, wisdom, and discernment to our congregation members, the pastors who will be considered for a call, our District President and Circuit Visitor, and the call committee. We also pray blessings for Pastor Schneider and his family during this time of transition in their lives.
