UPCOMING CONGREGATIONAL MEETING - During our December 13th 1:00pm congregational meeting to be held on Zoom, official members of Faith Church will be asked to vote in regard to the proposed 2021 budget and have an opportunity to re-elect two elders, Marty Friesen and Grant Boustead, to a second 3-year term. If you have any questions about the proposed budget, we invite you to get them answered ahead of the congregational meeting. A few of our leaders will be available on Zoom on December 6th at 1:00pm, to discuss the budget. If you would like to know more about the topics and meetings mentioned here, and you did not receive the recent "Upcoming Congregational Meeting" email letter from the elders, please let us know.

THE LORD'S SUPPER - We will be partaking in The Lord's Supper this Sunday as a church family. For our in person gathering, we will have pre packaged cups of juice and wafers available to you. If you are worshiping with us at home, please be prepared with your own Lord's Supper elements. We look forward to spending time thanking Jesus and remembering his sacrifice.

PRE-REGISTRATION - The Worship Center and the Community Center Video Venue are open to any who wish to continue gathering in person! We can only have 25 people in each venue, but we wanted to provide the option of a few in-person spots for those who would like.

PASSING OF A CHURCH FAMILY MEMBER - On November 23, Lee Suderman went home to be with his beloved Jesus. Please be in prayer for his wife, Marylin, and his daughter and son-in-law, Chris and Doug Mollerstuen as they grieve. Lee was always ready to give an answer for the reason for the hope that he had to everyone; children, people in his professional and daily life, and anyone who asked. From building church and school library shelves, turning wooden bowls for the school auction, ministering to children, teaching an adult Bible Study in his home, to putting chairs back out on the worship center floor for Sunday, Lee was a faithful servant of Jesus Christ.  He modeled a willing heart to serve. His presence will be deeply missed.

Our missionaries are Ben & Jeanne Beckner, Eric & Judith Hedeen, Gail Posenjak, Darren & Gina Lindblom, Dave & Mel Proctor, and Tyler and Jennifer Church.
