Message From Krista Barnhouse:

Dear Faith Families,

It’s almost here…National Lutheran Schools Week! This Sunday we kick-off our week of activities in worship and give thanks for Faith Lutheran School and all Lutheran schools around the world! We hope you can join us at both 8:00 and 10:30 worship services!

Be sure to check out the One and a Half Pastors podcast next week as I join Pastor Will and Pastor Dan to talk about Lutheran education and the Faith difference. We are so blessed to be at Faith and I cannot thank each of you enough for all you do for our ministry!

As we look to the week ahead, spend time praying for our Lutheran schools. Share with your children why you choose to make Lutheran education a priority in your family. Tell them why you choose to send them to Faith. Together, give thanks for all the blessings God provides through Faith Church and School.

We walk together with you to surround children in Christian love, connecting them to Christ and equipping them for Christian living.
