Invocation
We meet in the strong name of our God;
We praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Litany (adapted from Luke 15:21-22 & Micah 6:8)
Holy God, Your paths are straight, and Your words are true,
But we have trespassed onto immoral ground where we did not belong. We have walked and talked crookedly.
Holy God, Your heart breaks for the weak, the broken and the lost,
But we have loved those who love us in return. We have turned away from those in pain.
Holy God, You are the faithful Father, standing at the door, awaiting Your wayward child’s return.
Our Father, we have sinned against heaven and against You. We are no longer worthy to be called Your children.
Our faithful Father’s promise of reconciliation is for every penitent wanderer:
Because of the Cross, God wraps me in Jesus’ holy robe of righteousness! Through Christ, God endows me with a ring of royalty! God outfits me to share the good news of salvation in Jesus!
Prayer of the Day
Holy God, we seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. We desire more of You in our lives and in our hearts. Align our desires, thoughts, pursuits, and passions with Your will. Light a fire in our hearts and hear our anthem of praise to You. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

We are hosting a church leadership retreat on Saturday, March 29, from 10am - 2pm. There will be food, fun, and fellowship, and Pastor Christian Huntley will lead us in developing leadership within staff and the congregation. All staff and council members are highly encouraged to attend, along with congregational members who are part of one or more teams at Faith (or are interested in joining a team!)
If you would like to purchase flowers to decorate the church on Easter Sunday, find the order forms on the Welcome Table. Orders are due by Sunday, April 6, and can be turned into the Offering Blessing Box.
Next Sunday, March 30th, Pastor Ben will be hosting the first Discovery Class for those interested in joining our congregation. He is planning to hold it at his home at 11:30am. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, be sure to get in touch with him.
Also next Sunday, Arlene Fairchild will be celebrating her 90th birthday from 1-3pm here at Faith. Everyone is invited to come celebrate with her.
We will have a special congregational meeting on Sunday, April 6 to discuss and vote on using funds to fix the projector system. Please plan to attend as we will need a quorum to proceed.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 12th, when we are planning a church cleaning day. Many hands make light work, so plan to join in the fun and help us prepare Easter!
We will have services for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. Everyone is invited to each of these services, but we are encouraging everyone to RSVP for the Dinner and Worship Service on Maundy Thursday, so that we can plan appropriately for food and seating. RSVP online here, or find the signup sheet on the Welcome Table.
