Faith Ministry Stories

Unique places

Posted by Faith Lutheran Staff on

Faith ministry continues, even as we remain physically distant. We celebrate God's Spirit leading us.

What a gift to celebrate with so many families and in so many unique places the sacrament of baptism. Here's a look back at Faith baptisms in 2020.

21 women participated in our Women's Christmas Retreat last weekend. They gathered on Zoom for opening, lunch, and closing sessions and spent time in prayer and reflection alone. 18 more have registered to do the retreat experience on their own with videos and materials provided by Faith.

Ever wonder which Faith YouTube videos have the most views? Here are top videos for 2020. Our ability to pivot to videos has provided important ministry. Especially with worship, funerals, and prayer!  We continue to minister to those who are grieving for loved ones like Gretchen Kunshier, Gary Johnson and Rollie Nelson. We are able to lift up those especially in need of prayer like Dylan Marshall as he battled cancer. Sharing videos of special worship events like Spooky Music and Christmas Eve expands our evangelism by allowing viewers to participate as their schedules allow. We've expanded out educational reach through videos like "How to Create a Home Altar." And coming together via video to celebrate fun events like Pastor John's birthday brings us all joy.

The video viewership is in additional to livestream viewing, an important ministry that has expanded exponentially. Recently our livestream of Millie Hill's funeral deeply touched the 11 people who tuned in.  One viewer commented that watching the livestream, "Felt like attending a regular funeral worthy of Millie."  We are also able to share recorded versions of funerals with families, bringing them peace and comfort as they move through the grieving process.

As you witness ministry happening in your home or neighborhood, or as you share God's grace with others, let us know so we can celebrate with you! Email
