For those of us on the Extended Ministries Endowment Fund of Faith Lutheran Church the fourth Sunday of March is probably the highlight of our year.
On that day we are privileged to grant funds to organizations who endeavor to help others thanks to Ralph Colrud who made this possible by gifting the congregation with $100,000 for this express purpose.
Only a constitutionally mandated percentage of interest is used for these grants so the fund will remain solvent in perpetuity.
This year we are pleased to have photos of the distribution.

Thanks to Mark and Tammie Ellingson for the Little Library at North New Hope Lutheran Church. Drive, bike, or walk by to leave or take books. 

 

 

 

 

 

Please remember those less fortunate than us.

Baskets are located in the narthex at Faith for the collection of food and other household items.

These items go to the Rosholt Food Pantry who distributes them to those in need.

You might think there aren't many in our area who are in need..........but you'd be wrong.

 

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faith has a hearing loop and wireless earphone system which works anywhere within the sanctuary.

The system is amazing and will be of great benefit to those who choose to use it.smile emoticon
You can learn more about LOOP systems and whether or not your hearing aid is T-coil (telecoil) equipped and/or enabled by clicking on the link below.

If you wish to take advantage of these systems please ask an usher.

A HANDBELL CHOIR?

WHERE?..........................HERE!

Even in large cities churches that sport handbell choirs are few and far between. The Stevens Point/Plover metro area, which population exceeds 35,000, can claim only two churches that have handbell choirs. They are St. Paul's United Methodist and St. Paul Lutheran Church so it's quite a big deal for a smallish country church to muster enough dedicated folks to staff a handbell choir much less do a good job of it. The proof is at the links below!

The first link is for a video which shows the choir doing a portion of Silent Night.

The second link is an audio only file.
