Faith is an ELCA Lutheran Church located in a wonderful small town in northwestern Wisconsin. We offer many opportunities to grow in faith and carry on the work of Jesus.

Coping with Covid
The church council is concerned about the length of time members of Faith have not been able to worship at church.
We have struggled to find ways to provide programming short of regular services, which we know are dangerous in the light of the rising Covid-19 numbers.
On the survey some members were interested in small groups. These are permitted with the protocols provided by the synod.
Coping with Covid – Five sessions: Oct. 22 – Nov. 19. Facilitated by Kirsten Dawson
Thursday mornings, 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. at church. Please call the church office to sign up.
The discussion will be heavily dependent on what the participants are interested in. Some ideas include:
¨ progression of adjustment as time passes
¨ adaptability to abnormal circumstances
¨ effects of uncertainty/inability to plan
¨ loneliness
¨ how personal faith has played a role
¨ how to prepare for a post-Covid era.
Please contact the Church office to register for either meetings.

Book Discussion
Beginning Tuesday, October 6, we will be starting a book discussion. The size of the group will be limited to 7 or 8. It will be led by Renee Anderson and Mandi Amundson. It will be held on Tuesday evenings 6:30 - 7:30 (possibly 7:45 p.m. It will be in person (as long as circumstances allow... there will be a default Zoom option if needed). It will be held in the overflow room so that tables can be spaced. Masks will be required. A $5.00 donation toward the cost of the book is suggested (and it will be yours to keep or share). Books will be ordered through the church office and will be passed out at the first meeting. “Love Matters Most” by Jared Byas. It is subtitled "how fighting to be right keeps us from loving like Jesus" The intent of using this book and taking from it what works is to move us as a church - TOGETHER. |

Sunday's Message: Gospel: Philippians 2:1-13
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being on in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence - continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and act according to his good purpose.
