Jesus promised that a consistent, constant, and steady joy can be ours. Fortunately, He also tells us how.  Join us as we embrace the way of life we were meant to live. This series will help us learn to be thankful and excited despite all the negativity we experience in this world. Weekly topics include optimism, gratefulness, encouragement, generosity, enthusiasm, and confidence. There’s no limit to joy!

Each month we explore a new virtue through creative storytelling and bible verses.  Add in some energizing worship and small group time to talk about how these virtues can apply to everyday life, you have KidWerks.  We would love to have you join us in the auditorium.
We will be moving to our summer schedule after May 18th.

First day of new year: Sept 7

The 2024-2025 season is now underway. Students, 6th-12th grade, are invited to join us on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at Faith, to participate in outrageous games, extraordinary worship, and engaging groups, growing as followers of Jesus.

Flamingo season is here. Yes, two flocks of those lovely, tacky, plastic, pink flamingo lawn ornaments will soon be descending upon the lawns of various families of Faith. Fortunately, we have a trained team of students who are ready to remove them should they land in your yard. Removal fee is $20.

You can join the fun by requesting these flocks land at a specific address. Special requests will be honored for $10.  However, if that person has purchased basic insurance, you can purchase a premium flocking request for $35 that will be honored unless they have purchased the premium insurance. Get someone before they get you! So choose wisely and have fun playing the game all month long!
 
Want to ensure these pesky birds don’t land in your yard? There are two levels of flamingo insurance. The basic flamingo insurance is available for $10 and will cover any basic flocking request.  However, to protect your yard against basic or premium flocking request you can purchase premium insurance for $35. Buy early and protect your yard!

All proceeds go to support the Student Ministries Summer Dominican Republic mission trip. Details, special requests, and insurance certificates are available at the Pink Flamingo Table, as well as online at www.discoveringfaith.com/flamingos.

Thanks for playing, and for your support!

If you've ever wondered how to get involved at Faith, or how to take the next step, don't worry.  We've created a simple next step for you.  It's a small gathering we call NEXT.  This informal gathering lasts only about 20 minutes.  It will provide you an overview of our mission, strategy, and environments to help you determine your best next step for continuing your faith journey.  Meets fireside at the church after each service.

All women of Faith are invited to attend a four week study of What is it About Water? by Jean Campbell.
Beginning May 20, the group will begin their final study before breaking for the summer.
There are many miracles that occur in the old and new testaments. This book uses three healings from Jesus in the New Testament and opens conversation around today’s world and how we can apply them to our own lives. There are also references from Psalms that give meaning to how God has provided over the ages.
The weekly meetings will be held in the auditorium and facilitated by
Sue Boozell. The workbook is $10 and will be available at the meetings.

God's Grace Is Greater Than Your Biggest Setback. God enacts his perfect plan through imperfect people—including you and me!

Join us online and see how God used Jacob—the misbehaving patriarch who was strong on savvy but weak on conscience—simply because God chose to use Jacob. His story invites us to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy until we are safely at home. God turns brokenness into blessings through his grace, mercy, and relentless love. Not just for Bible characters, but for you. God Never Gives Up on YOU.

This 5-week video Bible study is facilitated by Becky Marchiando. The study group meets online via Zoom on Tuesday evenings April 29 through May 27 at 7:00 PM. Sign up online or at the welcome center so that we can send you Zoom credentials you'll need to participate. We'd love to have you join us!

Meets fireside at Faith, the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month.

In addition to coffee, great conversation, and fellowship, we typically are engaged in a spiritual study topic or video  discussion. Come join us!
