Week of March 1, 2026

• Thank you to Shar Beisell and Linda Arendt for serving our coffee fellowship hour.
• The worship committee is asking you to write down a favorite hymn title that you would like sung at church. There’s a list started in the Welcome Center. Or do you see a new one you’d like us to try? You can write that down, too!
• Join us for worship at 6:30 every Wednesday in Lent as we tour the holy land with Pr. Adam Hamilton. Seeing the places in which the stories of Jesus’s life occurred helps us understand these stories in a powerful way.
• Do you want to join a small group of folks who want to learn more ways for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to show up in your life? Our first meeting is TODAY at 1 p.m.-2:30 p.m. and is open to everyone. At the end of our time together, ongoing small groups will be organized for those who want to continue learning more together. Let Pr. know if you’re interested.
• We are hosting a blood drive here at Faith for the American Red Cross from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. tomorrow. We need to take down all the tables and chairs for them. Let’s do it right after coffee time today. Help out if you can!
• Please make an appointment to donate blood tomorrow. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). They only have 39 out of 65 slots, so let’s fill them up. Save a life.
• Let’s resurrect the “Picture Hope Canister”! Take one home today since it’s a 5 Sunday month. Save all your quarters in it. Bring it back the last Sunday in March and it will go to the Food Share. If you fill it to the top, it’s $7.50 total. It’s fun for the kids!
• Let’s “Pack the Pew!” (or table if one doesn’t get moved:) Find what’s on sale and stock up our pew with it OR write a check out to the Wabasha Food Share and we’ll get it to them. March is food share drive time. Let’s be generous!
• Our March Shepherd is Merideth Frost. Please text or call her with congregational joys or concerns. 651-564-1514
• Our worship service is taped and available online through YouTube and our website. If you’d rather not be in it, please let us know.
