Sunday Join us for Worship as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord

Special Services for Holy Week Good Friday Service – March 25, 6:30pm Good Friday marks the death of Jesus Christ. It's called 'good' because of what Jesus' death means for the redemption of the world. As we gather on Good Friday for worship we will remember the events of Christ’s death through dramatic readings of the gospel account of Jesus' passion. We will end the service with a celebration of the Lord's Supper, focusing on how the supper 'proclaims the Lord's death until he comes again.

This service will be meaningful for children as well as adults. Families are encouraged to attend.

Nursery will be provided Serving Schedule for the Good Friday Service Audio: TBD PPT: Wesley Machiela Toddler Nursery:

Cadets and GEMS Pinewood Derby is this coming Wednesday, March 23rd from 6:45 - 8:15. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend! Kids have put a lot of work into their cars and are really excited. There will be light refreshments following the race. Men's Softball - Contact Chuck Commeret (ccommeret@zcs.org) if you are interested in playing softball for Faith. The team will play in the Zeeland Recreation League on Thursday nights starting May 5 and go until July 28. Please let him know by Sunday, March 27. Thank you! The sanctuary during LENT - As music, prayer and liturgy are designed to lead you into worship, so is the sanctuary design. Our hope is that the color and design enriches your worship experience and focuses you on a particular season of the church calendar. During Lent we are exploring, experiencing and enjoying how deep, wide and vast is the depth of God’s love. Look for the red ribbon representing love, that runs through the purples draping the cross. Purple can symbolize pain, suffering, and therefore mourning and penitence. It is the liturgical color for the Season of Lent. We wait in expectation for the resurrection. CROP WALK-Since Holland's first CROP Walk in 1981, nearly $4,000,000 has been raised to fight hunger. Be a part of this year's CROP Walk on Saturday, April 23 or Sunday, April 24 and help step over the $4,000,000 mark.

If you are not a runner but would enjoy walking with this group, please join us! They will meet in the foyer and leave at 11.15 and return to church before 12. This is a great way to deepen friendships while enjoying the great outdoors and getting exercise!
