Fall Festival: This Saturday!

 

We're so excited to invite you to this year's Fall Festival on October 25, from 2:00-4:00pm at Faith Covenant Church! Join us for an afternoon of fall fun with a Kid's Activity Table, Inflatable Corn Maze and Slides, and the Trunk or Treat! This is a great opportunity to invite friends, family, and neighbors for a lighthearted celebration of the fall season.

We will also be hosting a food drive. If you feel inclined, please bring with you some non-perishable food items. Or if you're looking for another way to help out with this event, the sign up to decorate their trunks and hand out candy is still open.

Baby Dedications: This Sunday

Baby Dedications: This Sunday

Join us this Sunday for worship as we celebrate the gift of new life and dedicate our little ones to the Lord!

As a church family, we will not only bless these children and their parents, but also commit to walking alongside them—encouraging, praying for, and supporting them as they grow in faith.

Liturgical Common Read

Liturgical Common Read

Welcoming the Stranger

Following worship on November 9, Pastor Eliza and Stephanie Clark will lead a discussion of this month's Liturgical Common Read of Welcoming the Stranger. Lunch will be provided! RSVP below so we can make sure there is enough food for everyone.

This reading and discussion is an opportunity to move beyond polarized debates about immigration and ground our response in Scripture, guided by our historic Covenant questions, “Where is it written?” and “How goes your walk?”

Kevin and Sarah Johnson serve with Mesa Global in Colombia, but are currently on study assignment, as Kevin pursues doctoral studies in New Testament at Wheaton College.

Please pray for these needs:

  • Since late July, Kevin has been teaching a master-level course on the book of Hebrews, via Zoom, for the Biblical Seminary of Colombia. As the course finishes in the next three weeks, pray for fruitful discussions on how to understand and apply Hebrew texts, touching on issues such as suffering, discipline, and solidarity in the Columbian context. 
  • Kevin is beginning the dissertation writing stage of his PhD. Pray for a clear mind and focus as he continues to develop his research.

Send them a word of encouragement: sjohnson@mesaglobal.co

The Care and Prayer Ministry Team prays for all prayer requests submitted through the digital and paper Connect Cards. If you have an urgent prayer need, you can email careteam@faithecc.org or call Team Leader Rita Christensen at 630-835-8737.

Caring Network Event: You're invited to the Caring Network's Annual Night for Life on October 23rd! If you are interested, please talk to Ray and Jane Hinsch who are also planning to attend.

Looking for Affordable Housing: Many of you may know that I was looking for new housing arrangements last year before my lease expired. It now has become a necessity to find an affordable place to live.  I have lived independently, but at this time would prefer renting a room w/in a home, sharing an apartment w/ someone else you may know, or at the very least a more affordable single studio or one bedroom apartment.
My hope is "this new living arrangement" to remain in the area of Wheaton or close by so I don't lose Faith Covenant and that doesn't require me to find a whole new medical team, losing the great providers I have now. I also no longer can afford my rent as I have had to cut my hours at work due to health needs.
If you know of anyone in a similar situation or are aware of a more affordable apartment, would you please contact me at 847-331-5644, thank you, Erika Stahl
