John 16:16-33
"Sorrow into Joy"
As Jesus begins to wrap up His final teaching of His disciples, He prepares them for the difficulties they will soon face. Following Jesus doesn't promise a trouble-free life. In fact, we are promised that we will face sorrows, persecutions, and difficulties.
Jesus promises that our perspective on these things will be different than the world's. He promises that our sorrow
will be turned to joy.

New Giving System Switchover! |
|
If you haven't noticed yet, we have a new giving system! We've mentioned it before but it's time to get everyone moved over! We've included some instructions below on getting started with the new system.
Contact Debbie if you need help or
need to cancel your recurring gift on the old system.
|
|
Scroll down to the giving box that looks like what is pictured below. There you can choose the amount, the fund you'd like to give to and how often you'd like to give. |
|
|
|
After you click "Next" it will ask you to sign-up or log-in. You can choose to do either of these things through email or facebook.
You only have to sign-up once, and then you will log-in in the same manner in the future when needed.
|
|
|
|
Once you sign-up or log-in it will take you to your account in our new giving system where you can finalize your gifts, choose if you'd like to pay the processing fees instead of the church, set up or manage recurring gifts, and view your giving history on this system.
While we know changing systems can be inconvenient we are excited for the ways this will better serve you and our church in the future.
Thank you for being proactive in switching and don't hesitate

This section is a weekly reminder that God is Good!
He is good to us, at Adventure, every single day, & we will praise His name.
In the midst of the challenges this year has brought we see God being so faithful in our Family Kitchen ministry. The hands that prepare food each week, the volunteers who safely give out hot to-go meals to those in need with love and care, the donations that have helped provide when our normal food drop offs can't... God is working! We are praying that those who are hungry would be fed. That with a full belly they would know someone cares about them. And that in our humble service people in our community would see our Good God who provides.

Family Kitchen meals are available the last 10 working days of each month (except Wed) at First Lutheran Community Church at 5pm. If you, or someone you know, is in need of a meal, consider stopping by to grab dinner (no questions asked!).
If you are in a position to financially support this ministry, please consider doing so. Checks can be made out to Adventure of Faith with "Family Kitchen" in the memo line and can be mailed to or dropped off at Adventure of Faith.
If you have stories of God's goodness, hit reply to this email and send them our way. We would love to hear them and talk to you about sharing them.
