DISASTER RELIEF

This Sunday, September 5, 2021, there will be an additional offering basket in the lobby to receive special offerings for Hurricane Ida relief. Please make checks payable to Faith Lutheran Church and write “Disaster relief” in the memo line. On-line gifts may also be designated for Hurricane Relief. We will work through the Texas District, LCMS, to distribute funds to individuals and families that have been displaced and suffered injury and loss due to the recent storm. Please keep relief efforts in your prayers. Full recovery will take a long time.

We give thanks to God for all public servants and ask Him to bless their labors.  “Good government” is included in the “daily bread” we ask God to provide when we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.”

Please take a moment before or after worship to tie knots in these quilts and lift these officials before God in prayer.  The quilts, which were crafted by members of Faith, will remain in the church lobby until Sunday, September 5.

NOTE NEW TIME:  The team meets the 2nd Monday of each month at Zion Lutheran Church.  Our meeting time has changed to 12:00-2:00.  We were asked to meet earlier so we do not leave the same time as parents are arriving to pick up children from the school.
