Living Faith Weekly News (Week of 3/12/2023)

Hi, everyone!


Lots of great things are happening at Living Faith Lutheran as we journey through Lent!


Last Sunday

Living Faith Lutheran's alter is now adorned with a custom-designed and built cross from John and Peg McAllister!

We have a beautiful new addition to our altar thanks to John and Peg McAllister! Their construction of this cross is so creative and full of symbolism! Thank you!

We received an offering of $1,285 last Sunday.

Palm Sunday is Just Two Sundays Away!


We will be reading the Passion of Christ on Palm Sunday. Male readers are needed! Please see the sign-up table to take a part and pick up the script!


What has the Leadership Team Been Up to?

  1. The Leadership Team has been asked about the transferring of membership. Pastor Denne is contacting Bishop Lorna to talk about the steps Living Faith needs to do in order to begin this process. We've discussed putting together a constitution and having a charter member signing as a part of the preliminary things that may need to be done prior to a transfer. We will keep everyone apprised of the process when we have a clear direction.

  2. Easter plans are in place! Easter breakfast will be served from 8:30 - 9:15 on Easter Sunday (April 9th) in the Fellowship Hall of the PUCC! Easter service will follow at 9:30 in the Youth Room. There will be a sign up for Easter breakfast items at future Lent and Sunday services.

  3. The Leadership Team is discussing an accounting system for Living Faith. Some members are giving great help in guiding us in the decision-making process.

  4. We will meet next on Wednesday, March 22 at 4:00.
