INTERIM PASTOR ~ Pastor Ronald L. Bergen is serving as our Interim
Pastor. He will serve in all pastoral functions on a part-time basis including
preaching, hospital visits, pastoral care of the home bound (shut-ins),
classes, some of the scheduled meetings, and counseling. He will be at
Faith in the Church Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am to 12
noon. Pastor Bergen will be with us every Sunday, except one Sunday per
month (after all he is “part-time” and “retired”!). If you need to contact
him, please call him on his cell phone (330) 612-7284. His email address is
“ronbsl@aol.com” Pastor Bergen served as the regular pastor of Faith from
1979 to 1996. From 1996 to 2006 he served as President of the Ohio
District LCMS. Retiring in 2006, he has been preaching in various
congregations in northeast Ohio three or four Sundays per month.
THE CHURCH OFFICE will be closed this Monday, September 7, in
observance of Labor Day.
THE PROPERTIES COMMITTEE will have a work day this
Saturday, September 12, 9:00 a.m-12:00 p.m. We will finish the
outside wall by the parking lot and work on the new area for the
storage shed. Your help will be greatly appreciated. If you have
questions, please see Guy Russ.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
Yes this is long overdue, but I need to thank each and every one of
you who said prayers, sent cards, and gave words of encouragement
when I had my stroke. That was way back on April 23rd of this year.
I have come a long way from not being able to stand on my legs,
imbalance, dizzy, and ability to see clearly. The thought was, will I
ever recover? Well, I am happy to say it is only four months and I am
doing well! Yes, I can walk and do most everything. Thanks to all for
your support. Lois Hintz

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR SEPTEMBER 13, 2015
Lesson I –Isaiah 50:4-10
Lesson II – James 3:1-12
Gospel –Mark 9:14-29
Search the Scriptures–September 13–Sixteenth Sunday after
Pentecost – Matthew 6:24 “You cannot serve God and money.” In
today’s Gospel Jesus gives the first and last word about our
stewardship – well, you have to go back a few verses to verse 19 to
get the whole thing: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will
be also.” Read Matthew 5:19-34 again this week at home and
consider your generosity to the Lord’s work in light of what Jesus
says.
