Visioning Team
2018-11-19 19:00 (America/New_York) | Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church, 57 Brant Ave, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
The Visioning Team will be meeting again this Monday evening at 7:00 PM. I hope you can join us, even if you missed the first meeting. The questions we will be exploring this Monday evening include:

Who are we? (What are our deepest values? What is not on the table, as far as you are concerned, as you imagine ministry in the coming months and years?)
Who are our neighbours? (Or, who would miss us if we were gone, and why?, Or, who depends on our ministry, and why?)
Who is God calling us to be? (Or, what is God already doing in our community, whether religious or secular, that we could and should be participating in? Who might our partners be moving forward?)

I hope you will join us for important conversation as we re-imagine ministry at Faith Lutheran Church.

Lutherfest 2018
2018-10-28 15:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church, 57 Brant Ave, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
Dear Members and Friends of Faith:
I’m writing to remind you about the Reformation service and Lutherfest celebrations taking place this Sunday. Please note, especially, that worship begins at 3:00 PM and that there will not be a 10 AM service this Sunday. This is my first experience of Faith’s famous Lutherfest celebrations, so I am very much looking forward to it, and I really hope you can join us! Please note that all undesignated offerings this Sunday are in support of the CLWR Intern Support fund recently set up in honour of Robert Granke’s service heading up CLWR for many years.
The Lutheran churches of the Bay Area have once again been invited to join us for this special occasion. Following the service there will be a potluck dinner downstairs. The good news is that all the plates and cutlery are being rented so that there will no dishes to do, and very simple clean-up. We are asking, however, for a small voluntary donation at the dinner to help us cover the cost of the rented dishes. As this is the first time we’ve tried this, we’ll see how it goes.
I understand that the youth have been volunteered to help set up the tables and chairs before worship. Thanks for that! The church will be open by 2:00 for this kind of set up. We also welcome any acolytes who are able to help with worship.
I hope to see you at this important event in the life of our congregation.
In Peace,
Pastor Brian

On this day we remember the triumphant, yet humble entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem as the crowds waved palm branches and laid their cloaks before him. Weather permitting, our liturgy will feature the whole congregation processing around the outside of the church and then settling inside again for word and sacrament.
(Please note that this is the first week that there will not be a 9:00 AM service, and we all gather together at 10:00 AM.)
