Weekly Update! 5/11

THIS SUNDAY AT 10:15AM - We are excited to continue our teaching series, "Thriving in Babylon," a series through the Bible's book of Daniel. The world we live in can be stressful and feel out of control at times. Instead of living in fear, discouragement and frustration, let's look to God's Word and see what we can learn from Daniel and friends as they learned to live for God in the midst of a godless culture. 

NEXT LADIES EVENT - Ladies, let's get together for some dessert, some laughs, and some good conversation! Join us on May 18th from 6:30-8PM in the Community Center. Sign up HERE to let us know you're coming, or call/email the church office. Looking forward to some sweet time together!

BABY BOTTLE BOOMERANG - We are excited to be supporting Hope Pregnancy Clinic again this year! Hope Pregnancy Clinic exists to empower women who are unprepared for pregnancy to make healthy, life affirming decisions and to introduce them to Jesus Christ. Pick up a baby bottle in the lobby starting Sunday, May 14th, fill it with loose change, cash, or a check, and return the bottle any time before Father's Day, June 18th.

UPDATE REGARDING CHURCH FAMILY FINANCES - Last Sunday, the Elder Team (via Pastor Derek) gave a brief update regarding our church family finances. God provides for our church family through your generous, sacrificial giving. Last November, the church family was made aware that we were falling short of supporting the budget by approximately $9,000 per month. Since then, the budget was reduced by about $1,600 per month. Plus, your generous offerings have increased by over $3,000 per month. Thank you! Our leaders invited you to seek God's direction regarding your giving and you have responded! Please continue to pray that God will enable us to meet the budget. Continuing to operate at a monthly deficit could force some difficult financial decisions (that would affect people). Therefore, the Elder Team will continue to monitor and communicate with us about our church family financial situation. If you missed it last Sunday, please watch it here.

WORSHIP THROUGH GENEROSITY - God provides for the ministry of Faith Church through your cheerful, willing and generous giving. Thank you! You can submit your offerings in any of three different ways! Through our Church Center App, in the giving boxes on the back wall, or by texting any amount to 84321. All donations are tax deductible.
