ANNOUNCEMENTS

 GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH’S COMMUNITY MINISTRIES

There was recently some discussion at Forum about Grace Lutheran Church’s decision to enter a period of discernment regarding their community ministries. During this period of discernment, they will pause their many ministries to the unhoused community in Phoenix. For the full information about this ministry pause, please read the newsletter that was published on June 19. Printed copies are available in the Narthex.  

RESOURCE KITS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED

Many individuals who experience homelessness come to churches and other houses of faith in search of welcome and resources. In response, we offer welcome through hospitality, but also by offering resources to those who need them. As a service to those among us who are experiencing homelessness, Faith-La Fe is collecting items to place into a care kit, or Matthew Kit, which can be handed out by our church office when neighbors come by asking for assistance. 

Please place your donations of brand new socks, tampons/pads/panty liners, pop-top canned tuna/meat, fruit cups, granola bars, bottled water and travel-sized toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, shampoo, bar soap or sunblock in the collection receptacles in the narthex. If you don’t see the receptacles, ask John Tomlinson or Pastora Veronica where to put it. 

ARE YOU MISSING OUT ON FAITH’S BULLETIN BOARD?

The Breezeway Bulletin Board holds a lot of information about what happens here at FELC, in the Grand Canyon Synod, and beyond, that witnesses to how the beliefs we confess to are carried out in our world ...as Church Together. See what LAMA (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry of Arizona) brought to attention re: the injustices in the lives of people around us, and how legislators can change that to higher levels of Justice. Read how an ELCA Pastor here in the Valley expressed the impact of affordable housing in our community. Sign up for active participation in the Worship and other activities here at Faith. See how that impacts you!  

BIBLE STUDY

Bible study meets weekly schedule Wednesdays at 10:30am and 6:00pm in the office conference room or via zoom. Contact Deacon Intern Carly for more details, as she will lead bible study this week.
