SPECIAL REQUEST

In a number of ways Faith Lutheran Church is answering the call in this text:

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Matthew 25:35

 

Recently, however, a specific need has risen in our congregation. A couple who are facing health issues that have led to subsequent transportation struggles and food insecurity could be especially supported by the compassionate character of our congregation. Most immediately, they would be helped by gift cards for Market 32 Price Chopper in Bristol. This store is closest to them.

 

As other means to help them are sorted out, please consider donating gift cards at this time. They may be brought to the Church Office, Pr. Chris or Bob Herold.

 

Thank you for your generosity and care! You are blessed to be a blessing!

 

The Faith Council  

New Members Welcomed on June 15, 2025

Since the inception of Faith Lutheran Church on October 27, 2024, we have welcomed additional folks into our congregation who were not former members of the predecessor churches. 


This year, we are excited to create special opportunities to recognize and appreciate those members.  Our first celebration will be on June 15th, coinciding with Holy Trinity Sunday. If you would like to participate in this special worship service, where we will come together to honor your journey to Faith Lutheran Church through an Affirmation of Baptism rite, let Pr. Chris know (cell 860-989-3507). 


This rite is a beautiful way to reflect on how God continues to guide you on your spiritual path, leading you to be a cherished member of Faith Lutheran Church. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and all our wonderful members as we gather in worship and joy!


If June 15th doesn’t work for you, we will be offering another time in the fall. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Pr. Chris as well.


Again, thank you for deciding to be a part of Faith Lutheran Church and its ministries. We hope you will have your spiritual needs met here and feel welcomed to participate in any way God is calling you.

For Those Who Mourn




Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18


As God calls us to pray for one another, there is solace in community. The more we understand what we’re going through, the more we can comfort one another and share experiences. Pastor Chris encourages mutual prayer and care but without being intrusive. She would also like those making additions and deletions to the list to have the loved one’s permission to do so.
