For what does Faith Lutheran Praise God?Faith Lutheran praises God for those who speak up for the oppressed, for those who stand against racism and prejudice. May God bring peace to our nation, healing to those in Charlottesville SC, and unity of all people. May we celebrate the beautiful diversity that God has created throughout the world. May we always remember, “Everyone is different; Everyone belongs” (Dr. Joe Petner).
The Augsburg Confession, Article VI, Concerning the New Obedience
It is also taught that such faith should yield good fruit and good works and that a person must do such good works as God has commanded for God's sake but not place trust in them as if thereby to earn grace before God. For we receive forgiveness of sin and righteousness through faith in Christ, as Christ himself says [Luke 17:10*]: When you have done all [things] . . . , say, 'We are worthless slaves.' The Fathers also teach the same thing. For Ambrose says: 'It is determined by God that whoever believes in Christ shall be saved and have forgiveness of sins, not through works but through faith alone, without merit.'

PANTRY OF FAITH
This ministry is in place to offer emergency food rations to those who need them most, specifically in Dodge Center. Potential referral sources in the area have received a letter about the ministry and how to refer an individual or family. You can help by picking up a card from the pantry area and returning the item listed to the church office. COMMUNITY BACKPACK PROGRAM A local group of community members are working with the Dodge Center Foundation to create the Tri-Community Backpack Program. This program is partnering with Channel One to provide food for children on weekends. The Tri-Community Backpack project encompasses the communities of Dodge Center, Claremont, and West Concord. ALZHEIMER'S CAREGIVERS SUPPORT GROUP We welcome anyone dealing with or caring for a loved one with dementia of any sort. The purpose of the group is to share our experiences and any resources we have found helpful. You do not need to be the primary caregiver but can be anyone with interest. Our privacy will be respected in all areas. We will meet on Thursdays from 5pm-6pm at Faith Lutheran Church.
