Raising Up Families and Followers of Jesus Christ
NOTES, NEWS & EVENTS
GATHER AND GROW
Gather and Grow will start at 9:30, generally lasting about 45 minutes. We wanted to get away from the title “Education Hour” moving forward for several reasons going forward, so we’re trying out a name that’s a little more fun and flexible. Some classes will last longer or shorter depending on the class. Different age groups will have different formats.
CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL
Ages 1 - 2 will have classes with their parents.
PS - K ages will have regular classes,
Grades 1 - 4 will have classes based on a “rotation model” with different topics and teachers.
Grades 5 - 8 will now meet for Middle School class. We are still working on a format for HS aged students.
Children’s Church will continue on non-Communion Sundays during the second (Contemporary) service. Like they do now, children through 4th grade may leave for Children’s Church right before the sermon.
We would like to add two more leaders to the rotation in the New Year. Please contact Jenny Read for more info at jenniferstewart1225@yahoo.com
3M'S BIBLE STUDY
The 3M’s (More Mature Members), a group designed for seniors 55+, meet in the Community Center Cedar room weekly on Thursdays at 10:00am for an hour and a half to share in fellowship and study God's Word.
Occasionally, trips and traditions take us off campus. For more information, contact Jim Nordness or leave a note in his church mailbox. You may also call the church office at 360-491-3552.
ADOPT A FLOWER BED
Spring is here and our flowerbeds are in need your TLC. You’ve heard it said “Many hands make for light work”; now it’s time to put those words into practice! Sign up to adopt a flowerbed in the Fellowship Hall, work in your space when you can.
HELP WITH VBS
We are so excited to be able to host Vacation Bible School at Faith the week of June 27 - July 1 after two years. Do you have any time available during the week of VBS? We could use your help! Are you able to prepare materials before VBS? We could use your help! Would you be willing to purchase needed supplies for VBS? We could use your help too! There are many ways you can help. Please let Erin Holmquist know if we can count on you.
Please use this link to let us know what you would like to help with.
FAITHLIFE TV
Did you know that Faithlife TV, the platform we are using to live stream our worship services, also has content much like RightNow Media?
Not only are you able to re-watch a past worship service, but you can watch children’s shows, faith based films, listen to music, etc. It is worth the browsing time!
CHILDREN'S CHURCH
We are so excited to offer Children’s Church on non-communion Sundays. Children’s Church is a great way to give kids from Preschool - 5th grade a chance to be together and learn about God’s Word.
We have a group of volunteers who lead Children’s Church with a lesson, an activity, songs and a prayer prepared for the kids. Children’s Church will take place before the sermon and last until the end of the service. Parents will pick their kids up from either a classroom or the gym in the community center.
If you have any questions about Children’s Church or would like to help in some way, please let Erin Holmquist know via email to erinhq@comcast.net.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED WEEKLY
Ushers: Ushers greet worshipers and help guide people to their seats before services, help gather offering and guide those taking Communion. Again, not a real time consuming task with enough volunteers, but an important job. Please contact Becky in the church office if you are interested, faithlutheranlacey360@gmail.com.
CARE WARRIORS
Meeting needs through sponsorship to Faith’s members who are sick, grieving or homebound. Please connect with the church office, faithlutheranlacey360@gmail.com or 360-491-3552 to get involved in an effort to keep these friends connected and feeling they are still a part of Faith’s community.

CHILDREN'S RESOURCE
A wonderful resource to help your child understand the what, how and why of Lutheran worship is now available through LCMS called “Kids in the Divine Service”. Visit lcms.org/worship/youth-in-worship to see what is available. This is also a great resource for anyone who may be new to the Lutheran faith.
CHRISTIAN RADIO
Faith comes by hearing and you can hear the sung and spoken Word on many radio stations. Program in a Christian radio station that suits you and your family. You never know when God may use just the right message for just the right time.
