This Sunday  At Faith . . . (AM)  (Servant Appreciation Sunday) This Sunday we want thank all the people who make the ministry at Faith possible.  Each month hundreds of people give of their time, talent and treasure so that Faith can reach out into our community with the love of Christ.  From nursery workers to bus drivers, from choir members to grasscutters, from people watering flowers to people handing out bulletins, they all form a vital team at Faith.  May their tribe increase!  Our verse for this Sunday is found in the book of Ruth, "May the Lord repay you for what you have done" (2:12). Your sacrifice has made all the difference in our church family, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  God will reward you according to His will and timing, I just want you to know I don't take for granted your continuing sacrifice as a servant of God.  I will be bringing a message themed around servanthood in the Bible.   ​  Sunday night (6 PM)     Chris preaching Sunday night come and learn about the "GOD OF WONDERS" LIFE SIGNS CELELBRATING 37 YEARS OF CHANGED LIVES IF you would like to participate by holding up your cardboard sign, contact the church office.   You create your sign on one side it can say cancer, sin, broken home etc. and on the flip side you can write in big letters for all to see, how God delivered you.  We want Faith to show signs of LIFE, please participate on Anniversary Sunday.  Please watch this video on Cardboard Testimonies to give you an idea of how you can share what God has done for you.  We will have a special service in addition to the cardboard testimonies, music, skits from all age groups and ministries.  That afternoon we will head to the Grace Bible Camp for an afternoon of food, fun, fellowship and music.
