Raising Up Families and Followers of Jesus Christ
NOTES, NEWS & EVENTS
STREAMING SERVICES
We currently offer streaming of our worship services via a service called RESI. It provides a significantly more stable video stream, and we pray that it will prevent many of the issues that we have been encountering — freezing video, audio clipping, etc. On the 5th we invite you to go to https://faithlutheranlacey.online.church in order to join in worship at Faith Lutheran. As you join, you do not have to create an account. You should see an interface that shows a black box for watching the live stream. There will also be a side bar where you can select a built-in Bible, any notes for the service, and a schedule for upcoming live streams. In the future there will be a place to chat with other online worship attenders.
GATHER & GROW HOUR
The Gather & Grow hour is designed as a learning time for adults and children between Sunday morning worship services.
​
Adult Class - Studying the Book of Job​
A nine-week study led by Michael Kramer @9:30 in the Community Center Cypress room.
“The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.”
So runs the tagline most associated with the Book of Job, the first of the Books of Wisdom in the Old Testament. Followed by Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon, Job is the most simple and the most complex of this core part of the Bible.
The Sunday School version in which the above quote is Job’s reaction to the horrible things that happen to him is, at face value, simplistic. The notion makes little of the very complicated incidence of bad things happening in this world God created.
The conversations Job has with his well-meaning friends and with God Himself raise questions critical to the practicing Christian in this sometimes all too real world.
Following the Concordia Books of the Bible Study Questions, we’ll work through this book for nine weeks and hopefully emerge with a better understanding of the world we live in and our relationship with God and with our fellow man.

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.
