Are you, or do you know of, military families who are
part of Faith (church, school, or childcare)?
A new ministry is in the works at Faith to better care
and support military families, especially during
deployment. This is part of our mission -- to
raise up families of Jesus Christ. Since duty
assignments change frequently, please contact Diane in
the church office,
faithchurchoff@comcast.net with the latest
information. Thank you!

FAITH FORWARD
The Faith Forward three year fund raising campaign
closed two weeks ago. A total of $241,812 was

to all who gave. If you plan to finish your
pledge, or simply desire to help cover the new mortgage,
please direct your gift to the general fund.
GOT FLOWERS?
Do you have a special event, anniversary, or something
else to celebrate? Donating flowers for the alter
is one way to give thanks to God. Many dates are
available. Sign up on the flower chart in the
Fellowship Hall.
TANGLEWILDE POOL
Tanglewilde is offering Faith families their discounted
rate for summer pool passes. If interested, pick
up a flier on the welcome center and enjoy staying cool
this summer!
USE OF CAMPUS FACILITIES
As more and more groups and individuals use our many
campus facilities, particularly the Faith Community
Center, it becomes more important to make sure they are
scheduled. Schedule
your room use by contacting Sally Henry at
shenry125@hotmail.com.
SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Teachers are needed
for the summer months. Sign up for one or two
Sundays, and we'll provide the curriculum. Choose

welcome center in the fellowship hall. We need
teachers for August!

SCRIP
Did you know? The top five scrip earners are
the Rawnsley, Castanon, Henry, Conley, and Wetzel
families. Just these five families alone have
raised over $1,000 of free money for Faith this year.
Imagine if more families caught on! Big or small,
it all adds up. Thanks for making scrip a part of
your weekly stewardship.
Look for Carolyn
Todd-Wilson after the early service and Kristi Conley
after late service who will be selling scrip on hand and
accepting orders.
NEW OFFERING ENVELOPES
Please note the new offering envelopes in the pew slots.
These "universal" envelopes are designed to cover nearly
every giving opportunity and hopefully will reduce
confusion and clutter. They are not a replacement
for assigned giving envelopes but may be used if you
have forgotten yours (please include your envelope
number if possible.) Seminary
Students is an on-going giving opportunity. The
"Other" box may be used for special giving situations
such as Sudan, Haiti, Easter Lilies, etc. If you
include your name and address we will try to provide you
with a giving statement quarterly.
