FAITH MISSIONSOne of Faith Church’s highlights in the fall is our Mission Emphasis Week. This year, Mission Emphasis Week will be November 5 through November 12.
Our theme this year will be “Building Bridges.” Our main focus will be about parenting a new church as Faith Church has commitments with the Bridge Ministry in Frankfort.
Our schedule of services for the week is:
November 5 Morning Worship Service—Nick A. will lead the service and Dan VdH. for the Church School hour. Dan is a missionary with the Christian Reformed World Missions in Haiti.
Evening Worship Service—Rev. Julius M. from the New Life Church in New Lenox will be with us. We have invited the congregations of the New Life Church and Community Life Church to worship with us at the evening service. There will be a supper for all in the fellowship hall following the service.
November 12 Morning Worship Service—Rev. Jim O. from Christian Reformed Home Missions will be with us.
Evening Worship Service—Rev. John Ouwinga will lead us in worship.
We hope everyone will join us and learn about opportunities of service.
Please remember Faith Promise Fund in your giving commitments. We need your assistance to support our commitments to the missionaries, as our balance is lower than expected.
Tanya H. grew up in Oostburg, Wisconsin, which is one hour north
of Milwaukee. She graduated from
Trinity Christian College with a Business major and a minor in Human
Resources, which she puts to good use at Homewood Disposal. Tanya works with the Customer Service and Accounts Receivable Departments. Tanya
has been coming to Singles/Doubles since she decided to stay in the area after
graduation. She has recently
volunteered to be a leader with the Young Peoples for the first time and is a
little nervous about the responsibilities she has undertaken.
Tanya is very friendly, helpful and loves to laugh. She was an integral part of the FaithFest team. Tanya’s family is very involved at the Bethel Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Oostburg. We hope she enjoys worshipping at Faith Church as much as we love having her here.
