The Session has opened officer nominations for Elders and Deacons until Sunday, October 5th. If you would like to prayerfully nominate a man for office, please do so in accordance with our new Officer Nomination Guide that you will find on the Narthex information table. Previously ordained men, if elected, will begin serving in 2026. Others will need to go through Officer Training in 2026. Please submit your officer nomination form (found in the guide) to one of the elders.

New Bible Study
Everyone is invited to join Bruce and Terri Brierly in the study of Ezra and Nehemiah. They are hosting the study at their house in Middletown on Wednesdays (that is a change) at 6:30pm, tentatively starting October 15th. Please sign up at the Welcome Table.
ESL ministry at Faith
We invite you to join us in loving our immigrant neighbors by teaching English as a Second Language. We seek Christ followers, who are open to the Lord using them as teachers, helpers, and friends to the precious ones He brings our way. No foreign language skills are necessary! Also vital to the ministry are helpers, who can be a regular, friendly presence Thursday evenings from 7-9PM starting September 4. You will be blessed! Please reach out to Jacquie Johnston with any questions and share this opportunity with anyone wanting to learn or improve their English skills!
Freezer Meals Needed
Two families (the Adamses and the Wilsons) said that rather than meals delivered postpartum, freezer meals prepared ahead of time would be most helpful. If you can help, please use the Google Doc at this QR code to sign up to make freezer meals for these families. Meals can be delivered to their homes or brought to church (there is space to hold things temporarily in the hallway freezer until the family can take it home). Please contact Michelle or Brittney to coordinate meal drop-offs (their numbers are listed on the form).
Ladies’ Book Study Resuming Sept. 10
Please sign up at the Welcome Table for Mary Hudzinski’s group which meets every other Wednesday from 1:30-3:30pm at the church, starting September 10. When signing up, indicate which of three books you’d prefer to study.

All women of the church are invited as we begin a new Women's Bible study "Colossians and Philemon: That in everything Christ might be preeminent” by Sarah Ivill. We will meet the 3rd Saturday of each month starting September 20, at 8:45am at the church. Books can be ordered from the PCA Bookstore at this QR code. Questions can be directed to Christine Stalnaker or Grace Rochford. Please sign up at the Welcome table.

August Missions Moment
The Missions Moment for this month is centered on Youth for Christ. As the name suggests, this organization ministers to young people still in high school; Faith Church has supported them for decades and they really need our support now more than ever. Three years ago, their area director (Art Bjorndal) retired after 35 years of service. He was asked to return to help sort out and solve some of the subsequent problems they faced-----some personnel departures and financial issues. After prayerful consideration he agreed to return for one year. Please pray for this man and for the ministry of YFC. For more information, see Bob Miller: Saranacbob@AOL .com
