We would like to congratulate Will Bergmann and Sarah Schulz who got married on August 16 at the Duchess Manor in Beacon, NY. May God bless them with much happiness!

On Sunday, June 15, Faith Church presented Ben with a small gift as he is graduating from High School. Ben functioned as the organist for the last year and a half and will be continuing his studies at Trinity College, where he will be majoring in Music and Computer Science. We thank him for his service and wish him well in his studies.

We just finished our apple pie fundraiser and managed to put in another phenomenal effort. We want to thank Tammy and her team for all the planning and organization. In two and a half days we managed to bake 476 pies. We could not have done it without the help of all our wonderful volunteers. So thank you to all who helped!

Fran will God willing turn a 100 years old on August 1. Faith Church had the privilege of celebrating this momentous occasion with her this past Sunday. During worship Pastor Albert and the Elders laid hands on Fran and prayed a prayer of blessing. A video reflection on Fran’s life was shown, after which the celebration continued with a delicious lunch at the Johnson Fire House.
