Jesus Lives!
The Victory is won
As you can see, the lilies for Easter Service are absolutely beautiful for this glorious celebration of our Risen Lord. Thank you for making this possible with all your generous orders.
Don't forget to pick up your lilies in the sanctuary between 10:45 and 11:00 a.m. PLEASE, do not take any lilies on your own. Someone will be there to help you check them out.
Any lilies left after that time will be placed on a cart in the Commons for you to pick up throughout the week at your convenience. There will be a list to remind you what you ordered, so please, take only what is recorded and cross off your name.
Enjoy your blessed Easter, remembering what wondrous love your Savior has for you!

All Men are invited to join our Men’s Chorus for a special Easter Sunrise worship. There will be one rehearsal Saturday, April 19 at 9:00 a.m. The Men’s Choir will sing for worship at 6:00 a.m. on Easter morning.
Sheet music is available to pick up early after any worship service (see Joshua Kramer). Sample recordings and practice tracks are also available here, so that you familiarize yourself with the music. Yes, you can learn the music from the comfort of your own home! We hope all the men of the Faith family will consider joining us!

April 10, 2025
My dear Faith family,
I have received a Divine Call from Christus Lutheran of rural Delavan, Wisconsin to serve as their next pastor. I have not yet received the Call packet with the particulars, but I wanted you to know prior to the weekend.
For those of you not familiar with the terminology used in our circles, a Divine Call is an unsolicited employment opportunity extended by a congregation to a candidate prayerfully chosen at a congregational assembly from a list of candidates prepared by their District President.
As always, I welcome any thoughts you wish to share with me. I ask that you also pray for me, my family and both congregations that in this process the Lord’s will be done for the blessing of everyone involved and souls yet to be reached with the Gospel.
In Christ,
Pastor Ungemach
| | THANK YOU FROM THE STETTERS | |
Dear Church Family,
Thank you for all the supportive prayers and wishes that have come our way. The cards were beautiful and the words have been a healing balm to Peter and me.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Almighty God, you chose us to be your own. You loved us so much that even though you expect perfection, you gave us a way out. You forgave us and sent your son, Jesus, to take the punishment for all the wrongs we have done by dying on the cross. And as if that wasn’t enough, Jesus rose again and has prepared a place for us to live with him in our eternal paradise. Please be with us as we share this awesome message with others. Amen.
