THIS WEEK AT FAITH
| Tuesday: | 1pm Bible Study |
| Sunday: | 12:15pm Sunday School 1:30pm Divine Service Semi-Annual Meeting after Divine Service |
At the Divine Service, four of a catechumens make public confession of the Holy Faith. They are Ethan, Adrienne, Noelle and Cayden. Please keep these young members of Faith in your prayers.
Due to more people in attendance at one worship service, it is VERY IMPORTANT TO REFRAIN FROM WEARING FRAGRANCES. Let’s think kindly towards each other who worship with us and voluntarily abide by this simple request. This aligns with many workplaces where this is mandatory.
Our Semi-Annual Meeting at Faith takes places on June 7, following the worship service. Voters will receive more information next week.
