Dear Faith Families,

It’s that time of the year…time to return to school! We eagerly anticipate our hallways being filled with students and families once again and cannot wait to welcome everyone back into worship. Regardless of where your child attends school, it is an exciting time for students and families of all ages!

Join us at 10:30 worship this Sunday, August 14, for our Back to School Worship Service!! During the service, we will have a blessing for students and educators of all ages and ALL 3rd Graders who attend Faith Church or School will receive their Bibles. Stick around after for our Faith picnic with food and fun for all families!

This Sunday is a great way to kick off the year, worshiping and praising our Savior together as #OurFaithFamily! We hope to see you there!

I was able to attend a meeting down at the University Chapel this week to begin work on helping them during their time of pastoral vacancy and transition. This group I'm working with is officially called the Ministry Leadership Council, and the goal is to provide leadership support, as well as looking for ways to that we at Faith might be more intentional about how we partner with the Chapel in the ministry and their mission on campus. For any of you who have friends or family who are attending UNL this year and where they might be looking for ways to be involved at the Chapel, there is a flyer below with some info about some upcoming events and worship times. Feel free to share this with those who might be interested or where this might be a blessing. I'll continue to keep you updated on progress as I help in these efforts. And I ask that you keep all of this in your prayers that God would guide and lead these students and others who are looking to ensure a smooth time of transition and vacancy.

Please keep Rex & Jen Miller, Gavin & Ava in your prayers at the sudden loss of their 13-yr. old niece this past week. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family with funeral costs:
