Dear Faith Lutheran Church Friends,

To follow the recommendations from the CDC and the Iowa Department of Public Health, we are suspending all in-person gatherings until mid-May or until the recommendations change. This includes all worship services, Sunday School, Confirmation, choirs, meetings, all outside organizations, and pastor visitations except in cases of emergency.

This is a preventative measure to protect those that are vulnerable.
Stay socially connected through updates on our website and facebook.
Online worship is on Saturdays at 5pm. You may also watch the video later.
Faith Connects is a daily check-in and prayer time using online conferencing on weekdays at 7pm, except for Maundy Thursday and Holy Friday.
Our office is open during the week from 8am-12pm so feel free to call us.
If you need to stop by, please call ahead and knock when you arrive.
We ask that you not forget the church financially in these days as we still have ministry to do, staff to pay, expenses to be met, and your giving makes all of that possible.

God promises to be with us in the wilderness of this time. Jesus promised to be with us always until the end of time. The Spirit is our advocate and guide even (especially) when we cannot see the road ahead.

These are unprecedented times, and we thank you for continuing to do the work of God’s kingdom, watching out for one another, loving one another, supporting one another, perhaps in more creative ways, but always pouring out the love of God to your neighbor. Blessings to you all.
