On Sunday, February 18, two couples were honored during this year’s Penta Celebration. Congratulations to Brian and Chrissy Duryea, who will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary this year. Congratulations also to Roy and Sophie, who in turn will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. During the service a video tribute was shown, after which Pastor Albert prayed over both couples, thanking God for his love in their lives and their love for one another.

 

We wish to congratulate Peter Estep on receiving his Eagle Scout badge. The ceremony took place at the Holy Cross Parish Center, where the Troop regularly meets. Peter’s project involved painting the Fellowship Area and bathrooms of Faith Church. We thank him for choosing Faith Church to benefit from his project and wish him all the best for his future. Congratulations also to his proud parents.

It’s often difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expectations—but that’s good news! Find out why in the series

 

Over the four weeks, we will discuss four different versions of “God” that don’t exist—they’re fabrications people often want to believe about the nature of God. But when we start to put God in a box, we create our own ideas about Him and what He’s supposed to do for us.

 

 

October 29: Heartless God – God should never allow children to starve, earthquakes to kill people, or people to be born with deformities and diseases.

On Sunday, August 27, Faith Church congratulated Leilani on her graduation from high school. Leilani will be attending Northeastern College in Boston, where she will be pursuing a degree in behavioral neuroscience. She was a member of the Praise Team for many years and an active participant and leader in the annual Vacation Bible School. We thank her for her years of ministry and pray that God will bless her as she embarks on a new phase of her life’s journey.

During the week of July 17 Faith Church bustled with life and laughter as children embarked on a journey to ancient Rome. Each evening was started with Extollo, as they praised and worship our Heavenly Father. Extollo was followed by family time as they reflected on a daily Bible Point and verse from the Bible. Then they were sent out into the city of Rome where they visited the Apostle Paul, who was under house arrest and chained to his guard, Brutus. In other parts of Rome they played games, visited shops where they made various crafts and sampled some snacks from the food shop. Then towards the end of the evening they again gathered for family time and the evening ended with another Extollo, consisting of enthusiastic singing and praising.

 

We wish to thank all our volunteers who made this an unforgettable experience for the children. As a result of your love, care, leadership and teaching, they learned that God’s love is a gift, God’s love changes us, God’s love is always with us, God’s love saves us, and that God’s love is worth sharing. We look forward to welcoming the children of our community to a new adventure next year.
