Bible Storytelling is on Tuesdays at 10 am. For the next several weeks, we will be learning about the book of Hebrew.

Coffee hour on July 27th after church with a presentation from Kelly Doyle and other volunteers from Mission Agape.  Since COVID, Faith has collected both monetary and in-kind donations for Mission Agape, such as donations from our Memorial Day food booth, Noisy Offerings at Thanksgiving, hygiene items, being a drop off point for their Toy Drive and mostly recently Fill the Furnace for this past Lent.  Kelly and her volunteers will discuss how Mission Agape started, their mission, location, and all the services they provide for the community.   Please stay after church and learn more about their programs and how we can continue to support them.

Once again, we are filling 50 school kits bags for Lutheran World Relief.  These will be packed in August, blessed with the quilts in September and taken to St. Paul’s in Zelienople in October to be taken to the warehouse in Maryland. Below is the shopping list of items needed for kits.  Remember, each kit requires 4 notebooks.  I did pull leftovers from last year and we do have a good bit of erasers, scissors, and crayons.  If you are unsure of what to buy, money can also be donated, and I will shop for what we need.

70-page, single subject Spiral Bound notebooks

24 count Crayola Crayons

Handheld pencil sharpener

One 30 cm ruler

One pair of blunt scissors

Unsharpened No/.2 pencils

Blu or black ballpoint pens

Faith Lutheran, along with other local community businesses and churches, will be a community drop off point for Mission Agape’s School Supply Drive.  School supplies will be distributed between the two elementary schools.  The deadline for items is August 8th.  The community can drop off items Tuesday through Thursday from 9am to 1pm here at Faith.
