You may have noticed over the past couple of weeks that things are really heating up this Fall. We have new classes, new activities, new faces, and new visions. God is doing so much in our midst that it is getting hard to keep up with it all. That is great news, but it is also a calling.

We are called to continue to be the friendliest church that we can possibly be. We are called to continue making disciples every chance we get. We are called to pray together and pray for one another as we move forward. We are called to reach out to our community every chance we get, corporately and individually. We are called to worship together regularly. We are called to love our neighbor in every circumstance.

The activities of the Fall season are reminders that we have a great mission here at Faith. They are opportunities to step into that mission.

I pray that we all heed the calling and continue to be and become the greatest church for God that we possibly can.

In Him,

Pastor Scott

After much prayer and careful consideration, we are thrilled to announce John Turner as our new Worship Leader! God has truly answered our prayers in bringing John to our church family. His first Sunday leading us in worship is this coming weekend—be sure to say hello and give him a warm welcome!

Our fall events are just around the corner, and we need your help to serve our kids and community. Here’s how you can join in the fun:

• Donate Candy: Bring bags of individually wrapped candy to the church lobby by Sunday, October 25.

• Host or Help: Sign up to decorate a trunk, serve concessions, and more to help host our guests during Trunk 'N Treat!

Visit the lobby during the month of October to sign up or learn more about candy drop-offs. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Peyton Weimann at youth@faithmethodistchurch.com.

Looking to grow deeper in your faith? Join us after our Sunday morning service as we launch two new Sunday School classes designed to help you strengthen your understanding of God's Word and your walk with Christ.

Apologetics
Discover how to confidently defend your faith with truth, grace, and biblical wisdom. This class will explore common questions about Christianity, provide practical answers rooted in Scripture, and equip you to share the hope of Christ with confidence.

Digging Deeper
Take your study of Scripture to the next level through meaningful discussion and practical application. This class is designed for anyone who wants to better understand the Bible, ask questions, and grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus.

Whether you're new to the faith or have been following Christ for years, there's a place for you. We hope you'll join us after the service as we grow together in God's Word.
