Weekly Update! (7/17)

CURRENT TEACHING SERIES - "BY FAITH" – We invite you to join us ONLINE this Sunday as we continue our summer series through Hebrews chapter 11. This Sunday's message is from Hebrews 11:17-22.

SUMMER CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS – Due to ongoing circumstances related to Covid-19, we continue to make adjustments to how we function as a church family. Unfortunately, that includes needing to cancel or significantly change many things in the upcoming months. We thank you for your understanding and support while we all work together to continue BEING the church no matter what our circumstances.

  • August Picnic & Baptism in the Park is cancelled due to logistical limitations and continued uncertainty. However, we do want to celebrate what God is doing in our church family via baptisms! So if you are interested in obeying Jesus’ command to be baptized, please contact the church office. If there is a need, we will find a good way to celebrate baptisms this summer.
  • Contemporary Issues Series – Our annual tradition of weekly speakers in August is cancelled. These speakers are usually booked early each year and ongoing uncertainty did not allow time enough to plan the teaching series for this summer. 

CAMP OF THE RISEN SON- We have the privellige of hosting Camp of the Risen Son this year, as they are unable to do their usual overnight camps. They will instead be doing day camps at the Church building. If you have a child that would enjoy getting out of the house, learning more about Jesus, and making some friends, please encourage them to sign up for their age-appropriate day camp! Register or get more information HERE

CHURCH CENTER APP - As we get closer to gathering in person, one of the most helpful tools will be the Church Center App. From there you can give online, connect and message within Life Groups, and stay up to date on current information. There will be more information to come on using this handy app! Please download it to your smartphone as soon as you can, and let us know if you have any questions! 

RESUME GATHERING IN PERSON - TARGET DATE AUGUST 2ND - Polk County is officially in Phase 2! That means that Faith Church continues on our path toward our TARGET DATE of resuming Sunday worship gatherings IN OUR BUILDING on August 2nd. Here's Pastor Derek's update in case you missed it.
