CONGREGATIONAL LIFE
This morning we welcome Pastor Peter Mans as our guest pastor. We pray
for God’s blessing on us as he brings us the message from God’s word.
The next two weeks Brian Hofman will bring us the message.
Today we welcome Brian Hofman and his wife Tess into the family
of Faith and commission Brian as our summer intern. We invite
you to stay following our service for our pot luck and have an
opportunity to fellowship with them.
Anderson Shepherd Group is in charge of set up and clean up.
Summer Bible Study: We have asked our Seminarian to lead a Bible Study this
summer if there is an interest in our congregation to have one. A sign up
sheet is on the desk in the foyer and a spot to say what day of the week is
good for you. Sign up if interested.
Faith extends our sympathy to Sheri and Dean Anderson and family
in the death of Sheri’s father this past week. We pray for God’s
comfort and peace for the extended family.
Faith will be saying good by to a couple of our families this month.

Next week will be their last Sunday with us. Cake will be served following our
service to honor them. Also Chris Brandon took a job within the Forest Dept.

miss them but pray that God will richly bless these families as they relocate in
a new area.
