Weekly Update! 5/12

THIS SUNDAY AT 10:15 AM - Join us for our current teaching series, "Ruth." The Bible's book of Ruth is a true story for the ages, a masterpiece of narrative art, that reveals God's faithfulness in the midst of faithlessness, His kindness to us through the kindness of others, and His sovereignty in bringing about the rescue of His people. When you check in on the church center app, be sure to select "in person" or "online", depending on where you are joining us from.

FACILITY TEAM - We have begun to gather a team made up of people from our Church family who are excited about serving the body with their skills and gifts, but many hands make light work! If you would like to donate your time, skills, and resources to our Church family, please fill the volunteer form in your seat back, on your Church Center app, or by filling out THIS FORM

PASTOR DEREK'S UPCOMING SABBATICAL - A few months ago, the Elder team announced that Pastor Derek will be on sabbatical starting on May 16th. For more detailed information, CLICK HERE.

NEW FRIENDS' LUNCH ON MAY 15th - We are hosting a New Friends' Lunch following our worship gathering this Sunday. This event will be in the Community Center, and is for those who are newer to Faith church within the last few months! We want to get to know you, and for you to get to know us! 

PASTOR ED IS PLANING TO RETIRE - Pastor Ed recently announced that, at the end of September, he will retire from his role as Associate Pastor here at Faith Church. For more information and to watch his announcement, go to the "Updates" section of our website or the Church Center app. And please mark your calendars and plan to attend on September 25th as our church family takes time to celebrate and thank Pastor Ed and his wife Connie for their 38 years of faithful service.

BLOOD DRIVE - Once every other month, we open up our campus to the Red Cross for a blood drive. Our next one is May 27th in the Community Center from 12:30-5:30PM. If you are interested in donating blood please contact Barb Barlow for an appointment at 503-881-2292.

SUNDAY JUNE 5th TIME CHANGE - WORSHIP GATHERING @ 9:00 AM! - Please plan to join us here at Faith Church on Sunday, June 5th, as we gather for worship at 9:00am. Then, we encourage you to consider attending "ONE", a community-wide worship gathering being held at the Dallas High School football field. This is an opportunity to unite in worshiping Jesus alongside believers from other Dallas area churches. There will be coffee/fellowship time at 10:30am and the Worship Gathering begins at 11:00am.

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 8th, fill it with loose change, cash, or a check, and return the bottle anytime before Father's Day, June 19th.

PRAYER WALL - At Faith Church, one of our core values is prayer! We can have confidence that when we pray, God hears us. Some of you may have noticed, but our newest addition to our Worship Center is our Prayer Wall! This is a place where we encourage you to write down your prayers and praises to God and our Faith Church staff will see them and pray for them throughout the week!

UKRAINIAN REFUGEE RESPONSE - Faith Church is part of the EFCA. If you are looking for a good way to help, consider helping meet the needs of Ukrainian refugees by giving through EFCA Crisis Response - CLICK HERE for more information.
