Weekly Update! 10/24
JOIN US SUNDAY AT 10:15 FOR "OUTSIDERS INCLUDED" - As we study Jesus' revolutionary teaching in the Gospel of Luke, we'll observe His heart for the marginalized, see His mission "to seek and to save the lost" in action and be challenged to live out the ways of Jesus in our spheres of influence.
TRICK AND TREAT - We are so excited to be partnering with the community again this year in their Trick and Treat on Mainstreet event! We will be downtown serving our Dallas community with free food, drinks, smiles, and the love of Jesus! And we need your help! The event is Thursday, October 31st from 4-6PM. There are so many opportunities to help from set up to clean up, manning our booths (handing out cider/hot chocolate, hot dogs, and making/handing out popcorn), or just being a friendly, welcoming face! Sign up HERE to help!
WEDNESDAY MORNING PLAYGROUP – Starting November 6th and continuing every Wednesday from 9-11AM, we will open our church to families with small children to have a dry, cozy, safe indoor play area while adults enjoy a handcrafted drink from our baristas. Drop in or stay for the whole time!
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD PACKING PARTY – You and your family are invited to a shoebox packing party on November 14th from 4:30-6PM in the Community Center! This is such a great way to kick off the Christmas season and show children the love of Jesus through generosity and fun. We will have a light meal provided so we can snack while we pack! Shoeboxes and some supplies are provided, but if you have things you’d like to bring to help fill them up, that is more than welcome. Please let us know if you plan on coming by signing up HERE!
UPCOMING MEMBERS MEETINGS - Official Members of Faith Church will soon receive an email with the 2025 Proposed Budget. Our Annual Members Meeting will be held after the Worship Gathering on November 24th and it will include the opportunity to vote in regard to the proposed budget. The Elder Team will make themselves available to answer budget-related questions on November 10th at 9:00am in the Community Center.
ARE YOU IN A LIFE GROUP? Faith Church is a family of growing Jesus followers on mission together. And joining a Life Group is one of the best ways to participate in the family and ministry of Faith Church! Life Groups connect us with others in our church family, spur us to grow in our faith, and encourage us to live out the ways of Jesus in our spheres of influence. If you would like help getting connected to a Life Group, just contact the church office and let us know.
WORSHIP THROUGH GENEROSITY - God provides for the ministry of Faith Church through your cheerful, willing, and generous giving. Thank you! You can submit your offering in any of three different ways!
