Last Week
Pastor Halaas came to the Chapel with a surprise guest, Pastor Kristine Stedje, from First Lutheran Church in Sioux City! Pastor Stedje delivered the message for the day. Thank you, Pastor Kristine for joining Living Faith in worship! We were blessed to hear musical selections from Travis Balt, accompanied by Pastor Kristine! Please go to the Facebook livestream from last Sunday to hear the beautiful music that filled the Chapel! Thank you to Gail Kass for accompanying the hymns we sang, to Tim Kass for ushering and Angela Catton for livestreaming our service!

Last Sunday we had some fun happenings at Living Faith!
We commissioned Conor Rathke as he left Monday morning on the bus headed to New Orleans and the National Youth Gathering!
Connor and his bus mates from St. Mark in Sioux City were sent off with fun backpacks filled with bus entertainment!
Thank you to Kari Kopperud for creating the backpack of fun with everything from whoopy cushions to Swedish fish! We'll have to find out from Bishop Halaas which backpack item was her favorite!
And they are off!
Flood Bucket Service Project!
