Fridays @ 5 and other Good News!

Hey it's Friday. Around here that means MU students gather for fun & food. Gathering time is 5 pm (that's why we call it Fridays@5) our often-engaging and very relevant student-led Bible Study which is always followed by a home-cooked meal. The menu tonight is baby back pork ribs and corn on the cob. I know because I'll be cooking. If you want to, drop by around 3pm, and see me in the kitchen.


Our Sunday Worhsip times are 8:45 am Traditional Worship and 11: 15 am for Praise Worship.
Get out of bed! Get on your feet! Join us as we give praise to our God!


ASH WEDNESDAY WORSHIP AT 7 p.m.
Wednesday, March 1st is Ash Wednesday, the start of the church season of Lent. While some people are more familiar with Mardi Gras, we focus on our need to be penitent before the God who created us out of nothingness. Ashes on our forehead remind us that we were created from dust and to dust we will return. During the 40 days of Lent, we focus on our rebirth and renewal, the gifts God offers through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Some people give up something to remember what Jesus gave for us all on Calvary's cross. Others choose to add positive aspects to their life, giving focus to reaching out to others in more significant ways, recognizing that Jesus gives us eternity through his sacrifice. More Students join us for this worship service than any other worship we offer through the year. Plan now to be a part. Come a little bit early if you can. ASH WEDNESDAY WORSHIP AT 7p.m. Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.

Faith Talk Introduction

The Faith Talk blog is like an electronic newsletter for Faith Lutheran Church and Campus Ministry. As a new means of communication with this community, we expect to make announcements; tell what’s going on when, where, and by who; present prayer concerns; ask for help; celebrate things; report on progress; and carry messages from Pastor Dysart, Faith Lutheran Church Committees, leaders, and members.

There may be from zero to a dozen items a day. Readers may comment on these items, which are called Posts. Both the posts and the comments will be available to the entire readership, so if you don’t want the entire community to read your comment or post, think about what you want to write, and how you say it.

The two people who will be posting to the blog are Pastor Dysart and Jennifer Bragg. Anyone who wants to have something posted should send it to one of them, at the faithlcm@woh.rr.com email address. It will be easier for them if it is submitted electronically, but it doesn’t have to be. If you call in or send a written note, it will be typed up and added.

Posts can include text, pictures, links to web sits, and more (I’m still learning, too. As it develops, we are likely to do more complicated things, but text, pictures, and links are pretty good in themselves.

We imagine some of our readers, especially students, are better bloggers than we are. If you are one of these, and would be willing to help us, tell us and we will gladly accept improvements. In the meantime, we don’t expect to allow our inability to be excellent to deter us from doing what we know how to do. I am a failed perfectionist myself, and do only what I know how to do.

With so many of us in the community, who don’t necessarily see each other face-to-face very often, we hope this communication approach will make us a better community, that talks to each other, trusts each other, and supports each other.
